Defiance Games USMC Marines!

[James Holloway]

I wonder if wikipedia existed when he did is research?

Well, considering it's existed for 11 years, I would suspect so. Unless this project has taken even longer than we thought!

[supervike]

Maybe the internet didn't exist when he did his research!!

What year to Al Gore invent it?

[tnjrp]

He didn't:

As to the research timing and existence of things, well... You know the drill (key word: hater, as in don't be a).

On the Marines front, Atenociti rep has stated they have production sprues on hand at their booth in Salute. Which bit of info may be of interest to some.

The "bonus" figure has been reveled...it's a guy using something in his head...something that looks a mixture of a sombrero with a slouch hat. The hat brim could be a little shorter 

[CptJake]

I assume it is supposed to be sort of a boonie hat.

Sgt. Hobo of the Homeless Sector reporting for duty?

[fairoaks024]

Thats poor, even by their standards!

Do you think getting this guy made and into the pre-order
Boxes will cause more delay? I notice he's a render, so
Almost certainly doesn't exist yet.

Regards

Presumably they are grasping at US Marine  imagery to the extent of trying to make a not Clint Eastwood ^TM not "Gunny Highway" ^TM character from the not US marine ^TM invasion of not Grenada ^TM shown in the not "Heartbreak Ridge" ^TM movie.

But failing.

The right word is "supposed" I guess...

[dwartist]

I saw the production sprues that were sent to Jed (I only got the pre-production ones) and the casting and moulding is crisp and sharp with decent definition. There's not a lot wrong with them at all. Whether you like them or not (I do, as I've said) is a different matter.

Given "Gunny" is available for one week and

is our* "thank you" to everyone who pre-ordered the Marines. If you have a pre-order in now - or you make one in the next couple days

I would hazard a guess that the Marines won't be shipping out this week either

I got an E-mail saying they are shipping out next week. So that was sent on the 21st so depanding on how you view that, its ether this week, or next monday.

[tnjrp]

As 21st was a Saturday, based on that the Marines should ship this week since in U.S. of A. the week starts on Sunday. Exciting or what?

[James Holloway]

Since we haven't heard anything, I'm going to assume that they didn't ship yesterday and that my contest window is now closed. Dang it! So close! Good luck, Commander Vyper.
