Still hoping for the Tribune...

20-5212 Coming Soon TBA
20-5213 Coming Soon TBA
20-5214 Coming Soon TBA

My guesses :

Either Ion Sparrow or Jade Phoenix
Thresher II
An Omni from the Clan Invasion box

I think it’s time we get a Ghost Bear mech; ravens have two, wolfs got two, falcons have their one so far.

Maybe Mastodon, Konito and a new IS guy, Rawhide or Inferno.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #933 on:** 17 February 2023, 15:34:32 »

I don't expect that we'd get two bear mechs in the same wave.

Prometheum5 · « **Reply #934 on:** 17 February 2023, 16:25:52 »

I would really love to start seeing the new Bear 'Mechs as well. With them being the focus of the current sourcebook it would have been great to align the mini releases.

Alex Keller · « **Reply #935 on:** 17 February 2023, 20:29:13 »

The Jade Phoenix and Ion Sparrow make the most sense since IWM seems to be finishing off all the mechs from the IlClan Sourcebook

Wouldn't the Rawhide be a House Davion/Team Banzai 'Mech? ???

It's known to be Lyran.

It's a medium-sized Scourge.

If we're talking "kills the completionis in me", we're still just two sculpts short of having every single Proto, from memory. Not counting on getting a Basilisk Quad or Hobgoblin any time soon, though, sadly.

Unfortunately IWM have to consider their staff's need to eat (eg. adequate sales) over BT fan concerns with completeness. The support they do give BT indicates is beyond rational, and we thank them for it!

Not for nothing, but I'd be really happy to support their ability to eat if they could tell us what will be for sale and when.

Like dinner at Granma's place, "it'll be ready when it's ready."

Like with CGL, it may be people think IWM is a factory with dozens of staff working assembly line making minis. It's not (well, it is a factory, true.) It's a small business. And even Disney - let alone Boeing - sometimes slip delivery dates. It happens.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #943 on:** 19 February 2023, 01:30:05 »

It's not just a small staff, they've been hit by repeated severe medical problems over the last year, IIRC.

pokefan548 · « **Reply #944 on:** 19 February 2023, 10:58:33 »

A bad run of COVID and a scary spot of cancer, from memory. Yep, that'll make life hard.

"Rawhide" was one of the Characters from the Buckaroo Banzai novel/movie. Team Banzai was Most Definitely with House Davion, and the backbone of the NAIS. :thumbsup:

He gave the you the actual answer . . . but Rawhide was a TV show in it's own right.

Starring a baby-faced Clint Eastwood! Before he started drifting on the High Plains. :D

It was before my time, but I think I saw a few reruns. It's been so long ago that I don't really remember anything about it though. :-[

I know I watched some with my grandfather when I was a kid. IIRC- and without looking it up- he was the gun hand for a cattle drive. Basically your set cast moving on every episode or two to run into 'new' characters in new towns.

It's still on TV...trust me, sometimes it's playing while you guys are getting boxes shipped to you, along with Nash Bridges, Law & Order SVU, and all day long marathons of Chicago Fire on Tuesdays, Chicago PD on Thursdays, and my favorite Hawaii Five-0 on Fridays! lol

I am hoping to have an update from Mike so that I can post the details after next week. I will be in Cincy at IWM briefly before helping out at the local Cincycon show.

Here's a question: The Leviathan was brought back for sale for GenCon 2019, are there any plans for it to end up on the online store? Or will it at least be available at future conventions? I need one more, maybe two if they ever confirm a Lev III from Dominions Divided.

jimdigris · « **Reply #952 on:** 26 February 2023, 19:41:08 »

It might not be the same art.

Gotta grease some hands a little to get that... say a Fundraiser KS for the ol' girl?

Money does have a way to speak of spreading goodness...

Better still, a Lev III is suppose to be different.

We already have the art, per the XTRO it was released in. It is the same.

I know I would change spending patterns if a Levithan goes on sale again. I want one or more.

record sheet art is correct art unless it is superseded.

Hi Speck, any updates forthcoming this week? Thanks!

Any rumors of a Po II?
