IIRC there was never a problem to get the Beginner Set Panther from IWM online store. But I would also like to see an old Charger - or even better the Kurita version of it.  [drool]

I asked about the original sculpt Charger several years ago.  The answer from Mike Now at IWM was that it was one of the molds that they did not aquire / receive from Ral Partha, so they have no way to produce that mini.

If fan funding was still operating, that might have be an avenue to bringing the sculpt back but alas fan funding is on hold.

The Master Molds have been located for the Original Awesome, Panther, and Charger. The goal is to get all three of them up as online exclusive items. They need new production molds done for them, which is going to take some time to get done.

I could definatly use an old school Charger or two and if they brought back the old panther and wolfhound that would rock as well.

I still don't see much need for the old sculpt Panther as the Beginner Set looks real good.
But the old Awesome and Charger are good news. Best news for weeks.

"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

Speck, I was wondering if there was any way we could add the older style Catapult and maybe Vindicator to this.
