When is the TDR-1c going into general distro?
« on: 30 August 2013, 02:41:24 »
Self explanitory, When is the TDR-1C going into general distro?  Or will its forever remain a Con exclusive?  Please, I'm begging here, and am willing to trade my first, and second born sons for 6 TDR-1c to replace my current T-bolts.

Hello,

TDR-1C is just now being produced for general distribution...it got pushed back a bit due to how busy they were from GenCon. It will be on IWM's site in about a month...

Is this the beast you guys are talking about?

http://img.masterunitlist.info/BattleMechs/Primitives/Thunderbolt%20TDR-1C.png

Yup, that's the beast. I love the T-Bolt and I'm currently sporting an entire company of them. Four are the Unseen and the rest are the Reseen. One Unseen is the very first Mech I ever bought in 1987. I have a couple IICs on the way from Noble Knight as well. My gaming group thinks I'm CooCoo.  :D

I hope you didn't get killed on pricing from Nobel Knight...there are much cheaper places to purchase from & a LOT friendlier as well...I would definitely know.

I look t that pic and only think two things. Awesome looking Thunderbolt and is it a example of the Swiss Army Mech?
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

You know I think you can take some medication that MIGHT help you......

Then again I knew a guy that did the same thing with Warhammers back when they were the unseen versions. If I remember correctly he had a Battalion of them.

He would order 40-60 mechs at a time back in the early 90's.

That's debatable, but let's face it; some folks gave them a pass because they were big and claimed to be Scottish.

I have to admit, I love that primitive pack. It's going into my scum of the Sphere Merc unit I'm making, but I think I will be buying quite a few more of those t-bolts for my other factions as well.

I think Typhoon over at BTU is that way with Unseen Marauders, but I think he's got a Regiment of them or so?  Someone else there has an equally absurd amount of Highlanders.  Granted, they're not "Unseen", but still, 100+ of any single sculpt is a Amazing!   :o



And I just ordered 4 Primitive T-Bolts Sunday, which will bring me up to 53+.  8)  I'm almost afraid to count and publicize how many Unseen/BD Battlemasters, Marauders, Riflemen, Riflemen IIC, Warhammers and Warhammer IICs I've got.    :-X   I keep buying them AND finding more that I'd forgotten about!   :o

I'm going to see if I can work it into some of the older merc groups like GDL or the like.

I've decided to use the unseen primitives as their Succession Wars replacements.  This Tbolt will be first up, going into the Donegal Guards :)

Oh, I agree. Another primitive longbow is needed to fill a void in my 3rd and 4th SW era list for my Third Crucis Lancers.

This was the best I could do with my camera.  I just assembled the Primitive Wasp, Thunderbolt, and Longbow just recently.  Odd pose with the Thunderbolt was because of the knee snapping.

I'll need Catalyst to make a primitive or revamped Battlemaster for Hanse Davion.  :'(
My Davion Guards will be incomplete without him!

I will be doing the same, starting with the Shadow Hawk. I don't have any bolts yet, but soon.

Shadow Hawk will be for sale at some point...IWM has not decided when, but last suggestion pointed at the Holiday Season this year. Still hasn't been confirmed yet, so we can only cross our fingers for now.
