Anyway, are we all still on with Porkins?

The face is distinctly different up close, although it follows the same idea. The scale structure on the chest is different, and the arms and "thumb" are more pronounced on the official dragon, but otherwise they seem to be mostly the same.

Well met!

Geez, you guys are quick! I think it was only a few minutes before the fully edited version of my post was up.

"Now I am afraid that I have acted prematurely. If the figures I bought (Ram and Wolfen Army Boxes) become rare/unavailable between now and when their Wave is created, will they have been purchased in vain? (Of course, if they become that rare, I can trade them for lots of cash to buy Heroscape.) And not too afraid, as some of the Ram have already been released, and the Wolfen seem pretty far along already. As trust in C3V quality rises (as it must, seeing as how they have created consistently high quality units thus far), and more Heroscapers buy in, a pattern of becoming rare during release and/or pre-release could cause production to go up. I'm rapidly talking myself down here.

Seems like a pretty good investment."

The ironclad guarantee is nice, too.

It let me put 391 of them in my cart.

That's the one I initially ordered anyway.

I can still do this, I just want to hear from those of you on the list yes or no, do you want me to order you a "Bullyland Tuquoise Flying Dragon" in lieu of a "Bullyland Dragon Flying Turquoise"? They look like they are probably the exact same thing listed twice due to a website error, but I cannot be sure.

Edit: I just sent a question off to TGF Toys asking whether the two items were actually identical. Will keep the group apprised.

[Nirek]

I'm still in either way. If it's a bit different, it looks similar enough to me. That's all that matters to me.

Seems like a pretty good investment.

We announced the use of the Confrontation Army/Starter boxes back in September of last year...so I think many Scapers have gone out there and invested right along with you Kolakowsi.

The Ram Army Box should already be a good investment, as with that you get 4 squads of Skeletons of Annellitia and 4 Skull Demons. Then you also get an upcoming Unique Squad, a Huge Unique Hero.
(The only units in that box we have not uses are the purple gargoyle things, because we found them extremely and annoyingly fragile.)

The Wolfen Army Box should release after the Large Expansion and it has the two Unique heroes that are in playtesting right now and 4 Unique Squads that work together like nothing else in scape so far...we have had to really test and test these guys to get them right...but I'm convinced the public will be pleased with the results. Plus you get 3 squads of Animae Sylvestres. So rest assured your investments will be vindicated in time.

I'm still in. A blue dragon is a blue dragon.

[Rocktroll]

Im in Porkins, just tell me when ( even before you order) And Ill forward you what ever you think one might cost plus shipping. Even if it comes out more, Ill just send you a second paypal for the difference. Remember if I send you $10 you only receive like $9.60 or so due to paypal fees ( unless I send it as a gift)

[Johngee]

I'm still in too for two; but can you still get the Free Shipping if they're coming from Germany?

[Porkins]

I'd prefer that payments be sent as gifts since I'm gifting you my time and effort to get this done. Otherwise I end up losing a bunch to Paypal fees.

They're coming from Utah, not Germany.

As others have responded, once we announce the mini, that figure/those figures absolutely positively will be used. Now, if availability drops suddenly, we may have to announce that such and such a figure/figures are acceptable proxies. That's the extent of any possible "changes."

As for the Bullyland dragon, let's put the brakes on the panic, peeps. Unlike the Confrontation figures, this is not an out-of-print mini. This is an in-print, currently in-production figure. Perhaps it's just a question of waiting for this model to be restocked.

As for the alternate version, it does appear to be ever-so-slightly different. For one thing, it has fewer horns. But I'm sure it's an acceptable proxy. However, before we go for the alternate, we may want to try to contact the company to see if they will be able to restock the original figure.
