The Leviathan
« on: 29 August 2024, 18:25:07 »
Is it possible to get a Leviathan I Heavy Transport Mini? Is there a reason why its not available any more?

I've seen pictures of it, but never seen it listed anywhere.

It's now the only ship missing from my Bear navy, and I'm desperate to get my hands on one.

If you mean this bad lady...



It was a limited time piece, which was offered during a special event, and if I recall correctly only 250 were made. It was again for sale a few years ago as a very limited special, but put back in to the crypt.

Perhaps there will be a new version such as the one in the Experimental Technical Readout: Republic Volume III issue...but only time will tell.

I assume the listed Leviathan on IWM's website is not the desired mini?

That's the LEV II, and OP wants the LEV I.

I Think they've had it at GC the last few years, since they brought it back.  However, since I've Zero interest in it myself (or other Aerospace/Warships), I never thought to look for it this year.   :undecided:  I've "Noticed" it there in the past though.

That's the one! 

What a shame its not readily available anymore. I've been on the lookout for it since 2020 and have yet to come across one. Hopefully they do another run soon, its maddening having my collection short just one ship.

Sounds like you guys need to make friends with people that go to Gen Con!   :grin:


Sorry, but NO, I'm NOT "Offering".  Got burned out doing that years ago.   :undecided:

I did it to help out those that couldn't make it to Gen Con, all I asked for was actual cost of the items and actual shipping costs.  A few sent me a "Tip", but I never asked for anything more.  Got stuff for people from Australia, Canada, Germany, England, Malaysia, and Poland.  Along with people from the east and west coasts here in the USA.   :smilie_happy_thumbup:

They didn't have any handy when I visited. Might want to try calling ahead(as in, a few days ahead), they *might* be able to do something then?

Reach out to Mike Varney at BV Traders, he rep's IWM at conventions and I know he still had some of them from GenCon 2019.
