I have sent a email to inquire about the Koschei 5I variant.

Very nice! Though I'm kinda curious as to why the FWL got the original Reseen Goliath, when that mini is a Steiner model, and the Mariks didn't get their own until TRO 3085, and I'm pretty sure looks very different. ??? Also, their light/medium pack got the Hermes, when their iconic scout is the Hermes II.

Hermes II is fixed, that is what it was supose to be but I forgot to put the "II" when I entered it into my excel sheet. As for the Goliath, I am going off of the RAT for 3052 obviously we can not put a unseen Goliath in the pack. So a reseen is being used.

it's really nice to see some archived mechs in these packs, we get even more value out of it that way

Indeed.  I'm tempted to order a Ghost Bear Heavy/Assault Star just for the Kingfisher, even though I've already got two Kodiaks and Gladiators already.

I have pestered Mike at IWM multiple times about this -- they are swamped with orders from minis companies and so they are behind.  You have to have the arm -- it is useless to have the torso and chest pieces without the arm. Hopefully soon...  Maybe when the Blood Asp variants are put up this week  or next.

Yeah, it stinks to wait.  However, it is great to hear that IWM is swamped with business.  It's got to be a good thing to have a lot of business!

Bravo-Zulu IWM!
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

according to sawbones in one of threads yes they are done and ready to be put up, but from what we've heard IWM is a little swamped

I thought I had them at home but could not find them ( yet ) in the minis hoard.  I know beyond doubt that I have held the masters in my hands ( I might be misremembering that the metal masters I held at IWM were ones that I had ordered and received at home ). In any event, the Dragau and Tiamat ( with landing gear retracted ) in micro scale have been sculpted, mastered and will be found and released.

Cool, thanks! I just ordered two -5I conversion sets (torso, torso plates and arm) along with two -3Is. As much as I would've liked to see a separate mini rather than a conversion set I think this could be kinda fun. From the pictures the torso plates kinda scare me but I'll hold out hope that it'll be easy.
