Defiance Games USMC Marines!

[Cadet13]

I've got a handful of random Black Tree World War Two minis I'll add to the pot. The Defiance Marines will become available June 3rd, just in time for my birthday!

And I'll split the difference and take April 15th as my date. I will add a pair of Kryomek Cyclos (or a pair of weird-looking elves, if fantasy's your thing) and a random draw from my 'what the heck is this' figures bin to the pool.

out of curiosity, how are we going to determine said date of release - are we going to base it on them showing us the figures, someone buying them and actually getting them or what - given how things are going it could be pain in the arse, as the blooming things are listed as in stock on their website. shall we perhaps pick one retailer we all know of, that stocks these, and the day they give a press release (probably via TMP) as to having them in store, that's the winning date? I would suggest somewhere over in the states as the good ol' boys are the most likely peope to buy them    (my date hinges on knowing how we're going to judge it - as at the moment I am torn between something will be available soon, to, we've taken your money and run and thus a date is irrelevant  )

I'm inclined to wait until someone posts a picture of a real customer, or retailer, holding real sprues to acknowledge the figures have shipped. Once this momentous occurrence comes to pass we can sort out the actual date it happened.

I think we should nominate somebody from here who has preordered (I think there were one or two) to act in the role of an arbitrator and count the product's "shipped" date as the official date of release. Obviously this system is hardly scientifically tenable (since there may be significant variation on when preorders get send out) but it's better than trusting the word on a website.

Obviously the arbitrator cannot participate in the competition but he gets to be the hero of the hour

That sounds the best solution.

[aliensurfer]

depends on how many morons pre-ordered I guess 

[matakishi]

Nominating a LAFer is a good idea let's go with that.
The excitement builds...

strangely enough, despite the usual suspects on TMP, even paying TMP members are questioning Tony now.....

Can't you look at stuff on Facebook without bloody joining it? It keeps asking me to log in whenever I click on anything.

Fuck that shit.

Hey, I'm a paying TMP member, and I've posted a couple comments on the relevant thread on the Defiance forums, pointing out the fact they list them as In Stock.  

I did seem to get ignored though.  

By the way, I was one of the dumb asses who pre-ordered via the Warstore.

Got my refund for the cancelation today.
