Project Z - Spec Ops Compound Deal

An absurdly good deal here - over 138 USD MSRP in figs before you even get to the scenery and Humvee. Certainly already pre-ordered mine!

Just got that email myself. Not a bas deal at all. As far as I can see no details on the hummer as to if it's a new or existing kit. Anyone know before I commit to buying two?

[Manchu]

Ad copy states: "with new missions and scenarios dedicated to the elite Spec Ops themselves - including their new Humvee!" That could mean the Humvee will be eventually be available as a separate release as part of the Spec Ops "army list." AFAIK WLG have never made a Humvee before. But they have a storied history of buying existing sculpts so that could be the case here. I have no idea if this was part of what they purchased from WGF but I bet this is resin and I don't believe WGF dealt in that material.

At the bottom of the details it says

(Humvees not available to purchase outside of this offer)

Yeah, I've emailed to ask the question. It looks new but who knows for sure?

[beefcake]

It does look a good deal doesn't it.

RE: the Humvee, my money is on Force of Arms

Looks like a different gunner going from the MG ammo box, but could be.

I cracked and ordered anyway as it's so stupidly cheap. Well over £150 of stuff.

Got a reply from Warlord this morning." Hummers are a resin and metal hybrid kit"

I caved too, ordered a set with the 2nd vehicle. Not interested in the Project Z rules, but it was a good deal for all the models.

Will probably be added to the pile for now. Im still trying to finish up my AQMF stuff.

This is a great deal, and I'm pleased to see that the compound is available for pre-order without all the Project Z stuff.

I think £50 is doable for the amount of kit, and the number of games you could play on it is just daft - Superheroes, Dr Who, Geezers, Cold War Gone Hot, spy-fi, anything set after the 1960s really...

Very tempted by this, even though I'd never play anything on it! 

[Wachaza]

You could buy the deal with the figures and probably make an overall profit by flogging what you don't want. Sixty quid of plastic minis, thirtyish of metal and £15+ for the hummer at full retail. Even after postage, ebay and paypal you'd clear about £50 if you could find the time.

Just to big up Warlord's customer service I received a 15% off voucher after I'd ordered this and they cancelled my first order and allowed me to use the voucher.

[Manchu]

Ack - this one got hit with a price hike!

I looked at their Mall, but it doesnt even come with supplies, boxes, loot......
