Mike, are you going to be taking orders for the exclusives beforehand like you did with Shiver and the other figures from past years?   I MUST have one of these sets.  (yes, I think they should all be part of a big set)

Due to the nature of these, and that a MAJOR portion is going to the McMaster Childrens Hospital, I don't think we'll be taking pre-orders this year.

Last year, I literally got hate mail from people pissed off that the pre-orders sold out in mere seconds. I don't really want to spend an hour or so sorting through that again.

Plus, no one ever reads or follows directions. (Well, most people don't).
Every year we do that, someone ALWAYS places an order for 3 or 4, and always pays with paypal or credit card. Then, the day of the event they argue that they paid when we already refunded them their money. It's a huge pain in the ass to do, it slows down the line at the event itself, and I don't like doing it.

If we get to the point of having sets in the thousands, then we'll do it again and have a set way of doing things - but until that, for something this small of a run - no.

Agreed, we have to support our brothers to the north.

I think its a major accomplishment that joecanuck is utilizing 25th anniversary construction, fantastic, really.

Yeah, I agree, sell it as a set, sure its a bit more expensive, but you only have one con a year, if I can swing it, anyone can, :)

We are on our way up from KY, woohoo!

All figures will come with "blank" stands for that side with no name on it.

Example: Back-stop will have a G.I. Joe stand, and Chacal Noir will have a Cobra stand.

i know that there will be speed painting again,, but are there any plans to do another scrapheap project...that was just awesome!!!  When I brought in the rolling thunder, i never thought that it would turn out to be such a cool vehicle!  Scramble was the architect of that project, correct?

hmmm...

you mean the Broken Silence?   the beast of a vehicle with the Rolling Thunder base and the Night Raven lauch platform?  the custom that was started as a joke at the meet in 2007 and then on display as a finished vehicle last year? 

that was Slopypantz and Raptor's deal. 


if not that, then I'm unaware of another project that used a RThunder as a starting point.
