There ya go, sir.
-
Wulfen A - 30 Tons
Wulfen H - 35 Tons
Is that correct, or is one a typo? ???
-
It's a typo.
-
You haven't seen it yet. The lasers made it put on some weight... ;)
-
That's just how much they're bringing to gencon. They're expecting the H variant to be a little more popular.

Are you saying they're bringing 35 TONS worth of the Wulfen H, but "Only" 30 TONS worth of the Wulfen A? :o

PPCs are so last year. All the cool kids are rocking heavy lasers now.

I think you missed what I was asking. I was asking if you're saying IWM will send 35 TONS of the Wulfen H mini, but "Only" 30 TONS of the Wulfen A mini. :D
Aside from that, any pics of the Jumper? ???

Not yet, will have something up the week before Gencon. Best I can do with being on vacation from now until the 19th. Should have samples of them when I get back so I can go to town.
Also fixed the tonnage on the article.

Any Idea when pics will be avail?

I also will update everything that I know will make the show 100% early next week and get the Alpha list updated.
Also, if you plan to ask at gencon for any news on when Wasp / Valkyrie or other classics will be released in metal see below for the only answer I have.
nothing new to report from what I have already passed on in previous posts.

<joke>But it hasn't even been a month yet! You're expecting us to have patience? We wanna know nowwwww</joke>
More seriously, I'm on tenterhooks for new news on that front, but understand you have none to give yet. Patience is a virtue.
Looking forward to the pics of the jumper -- I can't get to Indy, but I'm looking forward to buying some online if they're available after Gencon :)

My Guess they will keep the power dry until Gen Con and all that can will be revealed.

Speck literally just told you what the answer if you ask at GenCon was going to be.
Pump the brakes guys. Patience is a virtue. Saying that doesn't mean you're using it.

I am not referring to what Speck knows now, I am talking about the higher ups revealing what they could if allowed, so show some patience please with us old timers too. Thank you

I can tell you the answer will be what I posted already for IWM.
-
While it would be nice if IWM could surprise up with a new first run or some official word at GenCon they probably won't have word from CGL until after the con and everything has settled down.
-

What I meant was CGL, if they can maybe give us the word. Sorry Speck but it’s been a long day and I am a little obsessive when it comes to this issue (pheonixstrom can tell you) no offense intended.

Considering how good the Wasp looked when it was in production... who wouldn't be obsessed with getting more :drool: :drool: :drool:

Can't wait...I get people asking me at least twice, sometimes three times a day.

I have a question, as a store owner has this increased peoples interest in Battletech/Alpha Strike in recent months?

Yes a little, but, the new HBS Battletech game caused a big spike in sales for those specific figures that are in the game.
-
Obligatory reminder that it has in fact been less than one month since the result of the case. I wager it'd be difficult to affect things "in recent months" given that. ;)

I believe, at least that's how I took his question, he is meaning overall interest in actual tabletop game...not the Wasp & Valkyrie themselves since neither are in the game.

Wasp and Valkyrie! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Yeah, how 'bout that, eh?
-
Wasp and Valkyrie! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Where is this found?

CGL's webpage.

Yay! New friends!
-
Well, I think that nicely answers any questions folks might still have.
-
I am so looking forward to getting my hands on a bunch of classic Wasp miniatures.
For a bit of nostalgia, I think I will just have to paint one in homage to the paint job of the Wasp on Ral Partha Light Lance box set [10-802] >:D
-
Do we have images of the Royal Shadow Hawk yet?
-
So who do I
mug/bribePM to try and get me a Valk or 2?
-
Well hopefully It won't take too long after GenCon for the Wasp to go back into production and the Valkyrie to enter production :D

I know this is nit-picking, but: Did they actually announce an official return to production? It says that a small number will be available in the booth, but it doesn't actually say what IWM's longer-term plans might be.
-
And they didn't say it wasn't. Nor did they say there'd be a limited edition 8" Natasha Kerensky figure, with optional tee-shirt. Or not.
IWM bust a gut to get some to GenCon. I believe we can take that as a positive sign - at the busiest time of the year for them, they did that. Let them come back from GenCon, shed the con crud, and update their schedules.
Go forth, and pick nits no more ;)

Oh, I take it as an extremely positive sign. I just don't want Speck to have to go into "expectation management mode" too often before they actually announce something.

Regarding the Wasp & Valkyrie . . . the Wasp production was halted when the lawsuit came out, and the Valkyrie was supposed to be the next quarter's mini IIRC- I was wanting a Marauder or Warhammer! enough of the lights!- While it takes some time to plug it back into the schedule I imagine, this is probably left over Wasp inventory from the hold and maybe the first runs of the Valkyrie . . . hopefully they are plugged back into blocks at some point.
And since those MAD-7D arms really look like they belong on a Classic MAD-3R . . . hopefully that is on the way.

Nope. Different source art, and completely different project. One's been complete for a year, the other hasn't even been discussed.
