Now that they've had their turn getting beaten to a pulp, the factions that had been on top are in line to get their beating.

Any announcements will most likely be held for Pax Unplugged on December 6th - 8th.

Looks like the McCarrons Armored Calvary Force pack is on the B&N website for sale.

On the site, due to ship in 1-2 days, but I don't have a local store that carries it.  So I would take that 1-2 days with a box of salt.

Better picture of the upcoming Third Star League Strike Team ForcePack :

Jackalope, Hammerhead, J-27 Ordnance Transport, Lament (prepainted Hastati Sentinels), Kintaro, Havoc.

Looking crisp and the Kintaro is starting to grow on me.

so tempting to wait till it hits shelves ... my B/N membership gets me -10% and a $5.00 (not for this purchase though). & free s/h ... [edit: Force Pack ordered.  I'm so weak-willed at times]

I’d almost forgotten that I’d preordered Hinterlands on Amazon until they told me my shipping was delayed.

Huh.  Yesterday the website was saying I could order the Big MAC lance, today it's out of stock.  Seems like it was either significantly more popular or had significantly lower production numbers than any of the previous B&N exclusive packs.

I think it's more that the availability was accidentally opened up prior to the official release date.  Any successful orders will then just be considered "pre-orders" until they are released to sell.
