Is there a schedule?  I did not see it on IWM site, not even this release we were told about here.

Sorry, the JJ was a surprise to me as well.

Now to start endless questions about the Ion Sparrow.

It’s on the list, no need to ask.

Will be tonight.

Next release
Jade Phoenix Prime
Mastadon Prime and D
Marauder 3R and 5M (JJ separate parts)

OP part Marauder 3D, 5T and 5S gun sprue

Jade Phoenix A variant

Indeed, I was waiting to know the master parts were in house before posting.

I will have an updated release schedule up later today.

To confirm, all other info I've seen in the past, the Mastodon comes as the Prime only, you're saying it will also have the D variant bits in the blister...correct?

I'd prefer it if IWM put out some of the Inner Sphere Rec Guide designs first- we have yet to get any*

INFERNO!  Come on baby light that fire . . .

Mongoose, Black Knight, Raijin, maybe Rawhide . . . or a Wraith since it is the AS pack.
and yeah, I would like a metal Eris too.

Black Knight is already available...technically. It's the 20-5207

Speck mentioned it back on June 16, the D bits will be in the blister with the Prime

Yeah, I spoke to Mike today, and he never made any mention of the D bits being in the blister, so I just wanted to make sure.

The D come with the prime 20 code, it’s a set of arms.

How soon can we expect these to actually hit retail?

After Gen con, we will have them for sale at the show.

Speck,
  Will both omnis have the variants parts in the same box, and not be a separate sku?

Mastodon both are in blister
Jade Phoenix are not in same pack, since A is new legs and arms.

I'll be curious to see how the IJJs are shown on the A legs, sounds awesome.

Very pleased to see the reseen Marauder make a metal appearence.

Also, interesting (cost/time saving I guess) approach with separate JJ.

Hopefully, this can be maintained for future releases.

A TBT-5J frex would then only require a new left arm and separate JJ for the legs and CT..

That's great news! I am super excited to get some of the new Marauders in metal. Loving that there are optional jump jets and so many different top guns to be able to make all the variants.

Just saw the 3D renders of the 3 new mechs. They look fantastic! I just hope the scale/size is right! The Marauder parts would be perfect for modding other plastic Marauders I have lying around.

ETA is "after GenCon."  Which could be anywhere between the end of August to the end of the year.  Hopefully the former rather than the latter.
