I believe that is the date that he added it to the website even if it wasn't visible.

Sure but there were only a few they were releasing as metal until the plastic comes out.  I want my classic Marauder . . . and the picture has just been a tease.

I'm wondering if they may be rethinking that slightly -- FWIR, the only metal ones that were coming out before the plastics were the SHD and OTT, and that was just to tide us over while they were negotiating and gearing up for the plastic releases. Everything else was supposedly to be released in plastic first and only then would IWM be given the go-ahead to make metal versions. It may be that they hit a snag with overseas vendors and so authorized a few more metal ones to cover the gap.

If this is true, can I put the squeak in for a BattleMaster?  ;)

I really hope the Wasp is released before I run out of money... I want to order a few lances of them.

Hey Speck, I just noticed this.

This is off by a few months, isn't it?   ???  Isn't this the Revised Ostscout?

It has the same "added to" date for the Centurion CN9-YLW / CN9-YLW2 "Yen Lo Wang"[BT-395] as well.   :-\

Does not mean anything, I copied another product record when I added those two to the online store.

Last I checked (a few days ago) it hadn't. The site was still showing the old 2016 release schedule.

Yes, I will be doing that here soon. Been behind on things last month or so. Have been house hunting and then now in the process of buying a house. So have been packing things up since we should be moving in the next two to three weeks. I want to get a few things done before I have to pack my computer to move it.

Thanks, did not realize how many minis I had until I packed up everything to move.

I don't think ANY BT Collector "Knows" how many minis they own until they start gathering them up for whatever reason.   :D  I keep "finding" some I'd forgotten about while looking for something else, and can't find some that I KNOW that I have.  "Somewhere".   #P


If you ever get a chance, you need to post a pic of at least part of your BT mini Collection Speck, like the ones you take to Gen Con each year.   O0
To me, Repros are 100% Wrong, and there's NO  room for me to give ground on this subject. I'm not just an Immovable Object on this, I'm THE Immovable Object. 3D Prints are just 3D Repros.

Speck - congrats on the new house. One of the joys of homeownership is never having to pack up your possession to move ever again unless you decide you want to do so.

205, because I have my entire BT mini inventory in a spreadsheet  :-[

Yes, I am CDO - it is like OCD but in alphabetical order.

I have a pretty good inventory of everything that is not painted, with count and location. I update it pretty often. I have another list for most of my painted stuff, but that has not been updated in quite some time. So all the nice painted stuff my brother did for display makes up most of the stuff I need to add.

Once I am moved in I want to organize all of the painted stuff not in my list.

I keep meaning to organize my collection into a spreadsheet so I can find what shelf something is on easier than staring blankly, but I'm doing so little painting these days (and so little Battletech) that it hardly seems worth the effort right now. Maybe someday.  :-\

Just remember to put all your minis on your home owner insurance.

Great Ghu, do you know how much that'd cost in premiums?

I mean, I have about 3K paperbacks. Home & contents covers $300 in "general", then I'd have to insure each one above that.  :o

Shudder to think about insuring minis as well ...

Quick question Speck, if you can answer that is. So far with the exception of the Ostscout all of the released or upcoming releases for the classics seem to be from the 1st Succession Wars book. As such does this mean we may see the Wolverine and Locust in Q3/Q4?

Just curious as so far it follows the pattern I do hope that is the case as I can't wait to see those two mechs sculpted and for sale sooner rather than later. {>{>

That is sort of by accident, the Classics we are able to do are coming off a list given to us by Catalyst.

What a horribly mean coincidence that is lol  :P :'( [##]

Thanks for the quick response.

But by chance are either of those listed units on that list?? Or depending on what you are able to tell us, how many more classics are left on that list.

No those are not on the list. If one per quarter, two left this year and four next. So around 6 mechs on the list, maybe 7. I would have to go back at emails and look.

Speck... Is the Prim. Orion slated for 3rd quarter? Thanks, man.

I think that was shifted to Web Only release due to other priorities when we finalized the release schedule. The goal is to have it out by convention time or before depending on mold room priorities.

Thanks again Speck, can't wait to see what other classics are getting released this year. Sad to hear about the Wolverine and Locust though.

Speck, any word on when we might see the new Warhammer in Metal, since it has appeared in "Prototype Plastic" already?   ???



Need I mention how stupid it sounds, and how much it SUCKS that IWM has to Wait for "Permission" from CGL to create the new minis in metal.   :P   ::)   >:(
