Merkava Mk VIII is out!
« on: 16 January 2012, 16:42:55 »
SLDF fans rejoice! The Merkava MK VIII miniature is now out, just in time to start painting them in Olive Drab before the release of the new Star League historicals. 

And I have to say... the Merkava is everything I hoped it would be.  Bulky and good on details.  I only wish they came 2 in a pack.

Where?

doesn't matter. it may be a little cheaper on certain sites, but you're still paying upwards of 12 bucks for a single tank, and then there are the other costs associated with it.

I'm not trying to turn this into an argument, i'm just saying.

Yeah, well... price of metal went up.  And this is one big chunk of metal.

Sorry, where are you seeing it for sale?  Couldn't find it on the sites I looked at.

Just sent a PM, not sure if I'm allowed to post online stores on the forum.

Pics? I'd love to see some pics of it and the Mongoose II (which is also out at undisclosed webstores).

...and a buddy bought all the ones at the LGS the day before I got there.

I'm rescinding his buddy-hood. >:(

The lack of photographic evidence in regards to how cool the model is makes baby Jesus cry.  :'(
