I am concerned that we haven't heard anything in so long -- even their social media accounts are pretty much dormant.
I would imagine IWM can handle a larger release schedule, but whatever is happening behind the scenes must be disrupting things tremendously.
My bet is that has to do with the 3D-printed master IWM got. I wish IWM had told their printer to do it again and make sure he sent a better print. Ultimately it falls on IWM for not insisting on better quality work.
While I/We haven't heard anything in a
LONG time (Good
OR Bad), I know Melissa "Da Office Wench" Morello was fighting cancer. Back in '22 at least, which was the last I'd heard anything about her. Got to see her briefly at GC '22, and she looked as good as always, considering what she's going through. Mike made her retire and
FORBADE her from going to work!
I had the impression that Mike and Melissa were the "Management" for IWM, so it would be on them or someone one of them appointed, to look over QC Issues. If Mike is the One, he's busy as
HELL on a
SLOW day.
If the
Catapult molds came in on a day he was busy with other things, it could've simply "slipped through the cracks".
I don't know, and
WE don't know.
Also, as much as some of us
LOVE IWM and BT, the simple
FACT is that BT minis are basically nothing more than a side line for IWM.
Their "Bread & Butter" is making minis for
OTHER games. Their other jobs keep the lights on, BT minis simply buys their toilet paper.
