The industry could definitely use a box of cheap, plastic bugs. I'll keep my eye on them.

Hmm, I'm looking at those bugs thinking they might just work nicely at 20mm

Anyone have any idea how many of those bugs are going to be in each box, and what their usual price point would be.
Cannot seem to find that info on the links....

I'm not sure what this is worth, but in the US, the War Store has them listed as a preorder item for 30 bug figures in a box for $29.99 but the discounted store price is $23.99

So 30 bugs a set and about $1 US per bug. Online retail seems to be three to six bucks cheaper.

FRPgames lists the Panzergrenadier preorder as $26.99 for 16 figures.

There are also motorized Panzer grenadier bikes listed at 4 bikes per box for $26.99

There are also upcoming female UAMC (24), Sequoia Indian Scouts (16), and something called Vralk warriors (36) all for $26.99 a box. Finally, the UAMC armor hard-suits are ten to a box for $26.99

Unfortunately since these are retailer preorder listings I have no release dates and no assurance that the listed quantities, prices etc are correct.

The standard price point DG is going to be using is $29.95, with online retails offering their own discounts (so $26.99 at FRP). There'll be 30 Bugs and 16 Germans in their respective boxes, but as far as I know the other sets haven't been fleshed out in enough detail yet to say how many their really are.

DG newest news item shows a roadmap thingy - with Bugs and Germans slated for May and May/June no less.

That gives 'em two thirds of the month to get the Bugs out

I have to say I like the germans at this stage, let's hope they don't feck em up when cast.

The Bugs are now on preorder at DG. The official release date looks to be announced to be "the week of June 18" but the TMP post on the subject does give a "sooner than that if ready" clause so maybe there won't be quite a three-to-four weeks (depends how you count it) slip from the previously announced roadmap:

Thanks for all the info on the bugs, chaps!

Just realised that I had not responded before.
My bad!

Repeat after me: Computer generated software renders not are saleable product....

palaeomerus · « **Reply #41 on:** May 19, 2012, 01:07:26 AM »

I didn't say anything about salable products. I did not promise anyone that the Panzergrenadier when cast would not come out looking like a sad cratered potato with duck feet and a bent crowbar for a gun. Nor did I offer to double anyone's order, if they call now, and throw in a handy, dishwasher safe, orange juicer, absolutely free

All I said was that "Defiance have released a picture of some of the Scifi German Panzergrenadier head sprues." and posted links for those interested in what those heads might look like.

Yeesh! Calm down.

Sprues = physical product, you posted renders, which is a theme on this thread. And I have two juicers already thanks.

It's a design of the sprue that will be used to etch/engrave cope and drag for an injection mold. But be as hostile and pedantic as you feel the need to be.

I'm done.

No hostility and funnily enough no pedantic tendacies either mate, as I've said already, I like the germans, just hope they don't feck em up. And I noted you edited your post to soften it, no issue there as text isn't always the best mode of communication either!

So wind your neck in!
