Don't forget, for a mini to be made, art of that unit MUST exist. Since the only art we have is Burke art, all we'd get is another Burke mini, not a Kokou.

Where did the art for the vixen 6 come from?

Eh Shadow Cat III . . .

If CGL and IWM released a Burke body w/ different turret and called it a Kokou . . . it would be a Kokou.

truetanker · « **Reply #153 on:** 22 February 2021, 19:49:29 »

But it is also very easy to call it a Burke Clan upgrade. But since it's not a Burke-C...

I'll wait for an official response.

Gonna go for the Pike turret to proxy for the Kokou's version in the mean time.

TT

Toss in $500 and I’m sure they will eventually make room in the schedule

Mechwarriorclix. Same with the Shadow Cat III.

I knew the shadow cat was MWDA. Had not seen the vixen before

I worked up the stats for jymset based upon the clip mini and the desire to have talons which were requested by Brent.

Is GenCon even going to happen?

No word yet. They're still waiting for "Things to Stabilize", or something like that. (I mean Gen Con LLC is still waiting.)

I Normally would've already had my Hotel reservations made in Late DEC/Early JAN. Haven't done that yet. :-\

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #159 on:** 24 February 2021, 19:37:45 »

I wouldn't anticipate it happening this year.

Things are going to be heavily in flux past the normal window of when they set things up for the con.

Any chances of warships getting done anytime soon?

Speck, is it possible to have a right arm version of the Gladiator / Executioner D arm? (OP-031) created?

Its a bit of work to remove the heavy laser from the H version if I want to kitbash the Gargoyle D for example.

Or even a paired set of arms with manipulators for the corresponding weight classes (light, medium, heavy, assault) that the option parts can be mounted on. (More of a wish)

Death_from_above · « **Reply #162 on:** 11 March 2021, 08:11:12 »

Hi Speck,

Will the upcoming Commando & Thunderbolt variants have separate SKU / packaging
or will IWM sell a single blister allowing for all variants to be built (as with the Locust) ?

Regards,

Death From Above

I just checked my local store yesterday, they said that the distributor doesn't have them listed yet.

Wrangler · « **Reply #166 on:** 11 March 2021, 15:35:30 »

Lot of distributors are like that now. There were like handful when i was actively playing in stores couple years ago. Alliance barely carried anything, never mind current releases.

My local store has been able to get IWM though their distributor for about a year and a half now and usually has been able to pre-order Battletech minis a couple of weeks to a month in advance most of the time.

Anything is possible, I can add it to the list. The officially modification to the H arm could be done, but some Fan Funding fund might be need to help cover the molding costs.

Two of the three had some delays. We are getting closer.

Sartris · « **Reply #172 on:** 14 March 2021, 20:28:36 »

it's all good. just making sure i didn't miss anything

speck · « **Reply #173 on:** 14 March 2021, 20:49:12 »

I received some interest in my PM for the White Raven, so I created the Fan Funding thread for it.

Sorry for my seeming longer delay in replying to posts here. I am going to work better at this going forward, if you need a quicker response fill out the Support form on IWM website which comes to me. My free time for somethings has been a bit less then normal the last year, part of that was working on getting the new online store launched and continual improvements on it. The other big thing has been the baby boy (our first) who just had his first birthday last Friday. He will enjoy the UrbanMech plushie when it arrives, lol.

Happy B-Day to the little one! Won't be too much longer till he is walking around and out of diapers...

Trust me, as a Dad of a 25yr old girl, 7yr old boy, and twin soon to be 5yr old boys...it's DEFINITELY a celebration day when the end of the diapers happens! lol

Real food was nice too . . .

. . . my kid has been so easy, I am afraid we would end up being 1st time parents on the 2nd kid. I mean, I tell me Catholic boss that when he was 1-3 he would sit quietly in his bed in the mornings on the weekend so we got to sleep in.

As the "Pilot" of this mech, I feel obligate to throw money at it (I want to as well); But at the moment the thread is locked, looking forward to when this is GO!
(Edited for partial miss quote and: ) Shut up and Take my money!

The first quarter of the year is almost over, do we have any news about what is ahead for second quarter? Thanks!

Maybe they'll get the first quarter releases out. :)

There were delays with two of the mechs. They are in process now so that they can be released. I will get the 2nd quarter mechs posted soon. I also have some items to get up on IWM online store.
