I don't think that Fourshadow would be so impatient if it weren't for the fact that this set is packed full of elves, and he's already been waiting impatiently for that ever since he first joined the board.

Poor guy.

Speaking of which...I think that the elf on the pegasus will instantly become my favorite hero ever. I don't even care what the stats are.

Even if he has "Wrist of the Fairy" as a special ability?

Well, I suppose that they could be the ones that fought under Marlborough and kicked the frenchies, but the uniform's not right. The uniform is all wrong for them to be the redcoats under Cromwell, or the redcoats under Wellington, or the redcoats of the Crimea, or the redcoats at Rorkes Drift. Nope, I'll stick to the original idea that they're the redcoats sent to North America.

And you know I'm only yanking your chain about the war, don't you? Besides, we all know that the US needs to start the occasional war - it's the only way that they can be sure of turning up on time.

Shouldn't you leaving the "yank"ing to us Americans? :P

I just can't imagine the Groks squirting out of the Marro Hive.

Talk about labor pains.

Poor Hive.

Anyhow, the large unit expansion appears to be on delay for the moment.

*Which is awfully sad from my view--nothing excites me as much as the large figure releases*

I would hate to see the large figure expansions end. I think I would lose interest without them. Besides they are just the kind of thing the Hobby stores can sell.

I would hate to see them get rid of large figures, but I think I could live without getting five at once. The WotC representitive mentioned packaging the Aquilla's Alliance figures a different way so that we get the figures. I'm all for that.

Thanks for remembering, kenjib! As a matter of fact, I have. And I have been here a little while....I just choose what to pipe up about (which is why my post number is low) rather than rant on everything. But that could change if I have to wait until SUMMER for #8.....

I imagine Ulginesh along with Jordawn blasting all in their sight...and what the heck do those other Elves DO?!? I would like to know....

Oops... Sorry.

And we have never had this long a delay in a release of a wave after having had it on display at a Con/Toy fair. It-is-utterly-ridiculous.

But we also have never had control of the line handed to a new company. These things take time. The fact that we are getting them is enough for me, but you are certainly entitled to your feelings.

Is it really a new company? WotC has already been handling some of the distribution.....

Actually, they have been handling customer service, but not distribution (to my knowledge). From what has been indicated, WotC are having to re-adjust a lot as well as try to take over all of the logistics of the brand.

How do you think LGSs get it? Only one way: WotC. They've been doing it for close to a year.
