IWM waits at least a month before they get added to their site. It gives regular shops a chance to sell them to us first.

Ahhh, I wasn't aware of that. Greatly appreciated, thanks!

I only knew about the Juliano b/c I picked it up Saturday during a game that was on the FLGS 'birthday' so they had a 20% off sale.  Worked well for the mini being a bit larger.

Good price on the Centurion at the FLGS

Just got mine today from my local store.  Can't wait to get started on them!  I might look into replacing the OmniCent's cannon and fist too depending on what's in my bits box.

Awesome! I'm  really impressed with the Omni Centurion. I was afraid the lower legs would be grossly over sized.

Glad you like it! Did you see the Centurion Resculpt that came out too? Well, I used the resculpt as the skeleton underneath, and they share the exact same proportions.

And it sucks for some of us as far as the latest and greatest goes. Some shops just don't carry CBT anymore and why should I order through them when I can do it myself and pay less with the power of the internet. I would support my local shop but frankly its become too expensive with the IWM price hikes to order though them. Not that I am complaining IWM I love CBT more than the other sci-fi games so it is not an issue when it comes to ordering online. It just seems like rather than try and build a game hobby up in their areas hobby stores are more into faddish games. It is a business after all. The way I feel now, with the internet, if you don't want my money, I will give it to someone else. That's a shame because I know people will buy CBT if it were supported by stores because we always draw a crowd while playing with terrain and nicely painted minis.

Retailer's Catch-22:
- If no one buys it from them, they don't see demand. If there is no demand, there is no reason to order it for stock.
- If they don't order it for stock, no one buys it from them.

Back to the main topic at hand... Which of these are general distribution and when can I bring it in my store?

They should all be in stores, or available to them, currently.  I picked up the Juliano two weeks ago and it is in the process of being built.

If the code is 20-***, then it's general release. If it's BT-***, then it's web-only. At least for new releases, that is. Plenty of older 20-code pieces are only on the website.

I bought them from the local shop. Thanks to the changes in cards, it's easy to spot from the register when there are new mini's in.  :)
