Phooey, the Calvary is dead last. I guess no need to place an order this month. :(

Agreed...

It's starting to look like the Saracen is going to finish third for the second month in a row.

I think, deep down, everyone knows they need more Saracens, but they just aren't all that sexy...

I favor the Saladin and Scimitar more in a company of the "Arab Series" as I call them I usually have only 2 saracins to 6 scimitars and 4 saladins

You do know that the Supernova 2 has quad ATM9 racks, dual ERLL, and a TC?

I don't care for the SuperNova. Too Munchy.

I especially don't care for it when my son deploys it to the battlefield.

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #38 on:** 29 June 2011, 23:33:34 »

could be worse...no probably not.I was going to suggest a hellstar but i think the supernova is much more bad ass

Alex Keller · « **Reply #39 on:** 01 July 2011, 01:51:18 »

It's July and the Super Nova and Savage Coyote come out #1 and #2. Bring on the War of Reaving!!! [rockon]

Shi_no_Kami · « **Reply #40 on:** 01 July 2011, 06:55:17 »

Can we start talking about the next poll yet? :D

I'd love to see the Crossbow OMNI, its such a nice looking mech.
How about the Glory Fire Support Vehicle...?
Or the Merlin?
The Stealth?

Just makin' some suggestions...
Ok, I'll come clean. Those are mechs I do not own, and therefore want. :D

the Glory and Merlin I would toss my mech behind! also the Cobra, for those that want to make the Church's Black Widow Company

Stingray · « **Reply #42 on:** 01 July 2011, 22:08:56 »

Some ideas:

Standard IS Battle Armor

Dragon Fire

Kanga Hover/Jump Tanks

Razorback

Nightsky (Perhaps the ER PPC Fantech version)

tried to think up stuff people might want.... well the Razorback I want but that is besides the point :p

Standard IS Battle Armor

I don't think BAs would be a viable product for a return. Fan funded new sculpts of the IS standard BA on the other hand... that would be nice :)

Pa Weasley · « **Reply #44 on:** 02 July 2011, 08:22:17 »

Perhaps one or two of the first batch of protomechs once we're a bit closer to the release of Wars of Reaving?

speck · « **Reply #45 on:** 02 July 2011, 14:16:27 »

I will work to get up the winners in the next few days.

Stay Tuned

Personally from what I've seen this is a big no no... Protomechs are very hard for stores to sell and from what I've seen seem to be one of those Minis that plague a stores selves for a while even after they stopped stocking Battletech 6 years ago they just can't seem to sell those buggers..

1) PM me with what they have....

2) these are not to put back into limited distribution, but Minis IWM will produce on demand without the archive fee for a limited time.

speck · « **Reply #49 on:** 05 July 2011, 17:47:44 »

I will try to get the Archive winners up on the site before I leave tomorrow for Historicon. If I do not get them up before I leave I will have them up by Monday and left them on sale a extra week in August.

Sadly I'm no longer in Birmingham and Pensacola has no miniature stocking store that I know up. There was a store south of atlanta i visited once and all they had was protomechs and maxiums...

My point is even if they take off the archive fee I doubt they will sell well. Clan doesn't seem to sell well period and protomechs seem to have a limited fan base.

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #51 on:** 05 July 2011, 21:15:47 »

I know there are a few people that would love to get their hands on bunches, including me, but once that happens we won't need won't need many more. That's not to say people won't buy them on and off especially if a new one comes out.

A suggestion would be to let every one know that IWM is going to have a sale, much like the archive special return, on all protos. Say, tell every one that in 1-2 months, to coincide with the WoR book coming out or something like that they will all be unarchived for 1 month.

There are 600+ people that are members on this site and i know more are lurkers. If they were to find out you guys were having a big " sale " then people may order enough to make it profitable.

Not that I'm a captain of industry or anything so I'm not really in the know with economics and i also understand that space is at a premium at the plant.To me it sounds reasonable, but i do come at it from a consumer point of view.

Stingray · « **Reply #52 on:** 05 July 2011, 23:50:20 »

The only problem with the Archive "sale" is that the high shipping cost makes it expensive to just buy a few... some people just like buying minis in 1s or 2s and not save up for 10 at a time. This might me the first time I get one of the special Archived minis (Supernova) since I have IWM credit to use.

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #53 on:** 06 July 2011, 08:11:37 »

It would be expencive buying only 1-2 at a time. I have a luxury of when i am going to buy that i have others in my group wanting to order also, so we pool our money and make a bigger order.

Thats if it isn't stocked at the LGS, that is.

Nahuris · « **Reply #54 on:** 06 July 2011, 11:45:41 »

I know I want a pair of Supernovas (Hengist, let me know when the order goes, I'll put in for two and some shipping as well)

Col.Hengist · « **Reply #55 on:** 06 July 2011, 12:00:40 »

Sure, I'll post something on the yahoo group about it tonight.

Supernova, savage coyote, and saracen hover tank are for sale now with out the archive fee in the Archive Special Return Folder on IWM webstore.

John_Hawk · « **Reply #57 on:** 13 July 2011, 19:43:43 »

Speck,

Does the Saracen come 1 or 2 tanks to a pack? The site doesn't seem to say.
