Author Topic: July Archive Special Return 2013 Poll (Read 7106 times)

speck · « **on:** 25 June 2013, 19:49:11 »

Here is the new poll to be vote on different Archive products. The top four at the end of the poll will be available on the website as Online Exclusives for purchase without the Archive fee. So this poll will expire around July 9th 2013 and the top four Archive Products will return for sale without the Archive fee for July 2013.

Gotta vote for the Blade. Far superior to the newer sculpt, and with actual TRO stats, maybe it'll do well enough to stay out of archive.

I still think all the DA sculpts that came out before their TRO debut should be given another chance when they get a book treatment, though that's probably a discussion for another thread.
(Obviously, the Shrike will have to keep waiting for the time being.)

FWIW Weirdo I'm totally with you on the DA sculpts.

Well, there are only 30 votes so far, but, at this stage, I love where things are going. O0

Thank you Tundra now if the pack hunter made it that would cool

Akalabeth · « **Reply #5 on:** 26 June 2013, 21:45:37 »

Yeah baby keep up voting that Supernova.
With lighter mechs you can always buy multiples, mitigating the archive fee but with Assaults you don't need as many which is why they're a good fit for this promotion in my opinion.

Savage Coyote · « **Reply #6 on:** 26 June 2013, 21:58:46 »

Man, this one is loaded. Tundra Wolf, Dragon Fire, Yellow Jacket, and Supernova? Sheesh

Cyc · « **Reply #7 on:** 26 June 2013, 22:26:43 »

Blade please

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #8 on:** 26 June 2013, 22:36:40 »

Dragonfire has my vote. I have always liked the Dragonfire and can use another one for a DA Lance I have planned.

Khell · « **Reply #9 on:** 27 June 2013, 00:36:28 »

Three I want, but hands-down the Yellow Jacket has my vote. What's not to love about a fast-moving gauss rifle tied to an egg beater?

I'd love to see one of those. When did that Yellow Jacket variant come out? ;D

Around noon on Tuesday. The Wednesday model used a salad spinner. #P

Hey we need more voters. Come on people vote now. Now we need more votes for the Supernova O0

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #13 on:** 30 June 2013, 07:57:59 »

Yellow Jacket is fun, especially inside a city. But I already have four.

Omega-class Destroyer? O:-)

(Yeah, I know that's only slightly less impossible than the Unseen Marauder. Just had to ask, it's one of the few such ships I actually need more of for that fleet.)

Typhoon Urban Assault Vehicle (Original)
Fortune Wheeled Assault Vehicle
Cavalry Attack Helicopter
And/or Fox Corvette
...Those would be my most pressing needs at least.

Also, a question.
How long will the July miniatures actually stay in the Special Return? Some times I see ASR selling a three-month block, other times it's just the current month for sale. It's nice when we can lump at least two months together, because big orders aren't practical as an every-month thing, and for some of us (like us Canadians), shipping is too expensive unless you're putting together a $200+ order for free shipping.

AR20-367 Spider gets my vote

cavingjan · « **Reply #21 on:** 13 July 2013, 07:09:42 »

Black Lanner D ARFT-016

or Sparrowhawk AR20-701

The Wayfarer · « **Reply #22 on:** 13 July 2013, 14:00:39 »

Gonna try this one again:

AR20-918 Stalking Spider (Standard)

The odds are July will be up through August. I usually forget to take them down when I should, but owe well. Just means you can buy them longer.

I want to get the new poll up this week so I need more suggestions from people.

CDAT · « **Reply #26 on:** 22 July 2013, 07:25:11 »

MY vote goes for
AR20-161 Fox Corvette
AR20-198 Kimagure Pursuit Cruiser
and/or any mech scale fighter.

Gromik · « **Reply #27 on:** 22 July 2013, 13:33:12 »

I have repeatedly kicked myself for not getting a Bowman the last time it was up. So perhaps:

AR20-984 Bowman
AR20-645 Ha Otoko
AR20-659 Naginata
AR20-302 Morrigu

Berzerker · « **Reply #28 on:** 22 July 2013, 16:47:44 »

+1 Naginata.
Maelstrom
White Flame

Could always add the Challenger X MBT, Tokugawa tank, and/or the Heavy Wheeled APC to my previous suggestions.

Just wondering how many units does something have to sell to get pulled from Archive? does sales during the special return count for that?

Things do not get removed from archive. Archive items are available without the archive fee as part of the Archive Special Return polls and other special sales.

Actually, having a sales goal for de-Archiving isn't a bad idea. Yes, obviously you wouldn't count ASR sales because the ASR is itself an enticement to buy, which doesn't actually indicate true demand for the product. But if it takes six units of selling an item a year, and for two years in a row you see an Archive miniature selling nine or twelve units (and not all just to one person in one lump purchase), my logic says it shouldn't be in the Archive anymore.

My logic says that unless it sells 100 units, don't de-archive it. Frankly, the '6' line seems almost impossible to understand, and I can only explain it with "outstanding IWM customer service"
