Just got a shipping confirmation for the goons

Wow--that seems early.  I thought they were being released on December 15?  Congrats!

I'm still torn on that pack.  I like the idea of a new Archer and Blackjack model, and a reposed Rifleman.  I've got my hands full with Twolves with Clan Salvage and Legendaries (4 total) and not much interest in a Annihilator.  So do I order one so I don't suffer from intense FOMO or just focus on my gigantic pile of unpainted minis and get to work?

Yeah I was looking it over to see if it said something like “will ship dec 15” but there was no such indication

I just got mine, too. Definitely a welcome surprise to have it shipping this early.  8)

I wonder if they're trying to set things up so that folks who preordered will actually receive their boxes on or close to the 15th?

I saw a pic in a FB BT Group yesterday, from someone claiming to have received theirs already.  Didn't look like a "Stock Photo" either, so maybe they DID ship early?   ???

My tracking number claims Monday, so totally possible.  Maybe they're just getting the preorders out of the way before they ship to stores.  Also possible the December 15th date was just a best estimate.  I doubt Catalyst asked them to hold it until any specific date.

Has anyone else received a Wrongway Annihilator? Mine was facing the wrong way in the box because his torso was on backwards.

One more data point:  I ordered two last night (free shipping got me), and they should be to me on Saturday.

Just got my shipping notification, says the 25th for me.

And a wrong way or misaligned mech means it gets magnetized for me.

Looks like they sent a Black Friday email for the store-front and announced the companion app at the same time.

And apparently the app isn't compatible with my Android device.  I'm running Android 11, not top of the line but decent enough. :(

I should have read the complete description instead of jumping to install the app, since it's tablet only.  My bad. :)

Most of those product links are dead as of right now and that's a REALLY bad look.
At least put up "On sale soon" pages instead of sending us to a "this doesn't exist" page.

I asked this in another thread, but, is MapPack: Grasslands discontinued?  I haven't seen it in the last couple restocks and the page is no longer linked (though it still exists and shows up on google search)

Will the restock only go live at 3 a.m. Eastern as well? Cause as of now all Force Packs are still (or again) listed as Sold Out...

The ComStar links are just showing 404 Page Not Found. 

Which is thematically appropriate for the ilClan era, come to think of it.
"We have made of New Avalon a towering funeral pyre and wiped the Davion scourge from the universe.  Tikonov, Chesterton and Andurien are ours once more, and the cheers of the Capellan people nearly drown out the gnashing of our foes' teeth as they throw down their weapons in despair.  Now I am made First Lord of the Star League, and all shall bow down to me and pay homa...oooooo! Shiny thing!" - Maximillian Liao, "My Triumph", audio dictation, 3030.  Unpublished.

No need to pass them along, we're aware. For whatever reason, it's how it happens when product is not yet live, it 404's. I don't mess much with the store platform itself, I don't know the whys or wherefores.
