The designs are a mistake. They should have had skeletons with guns for both Epic and Terminator and a hunter killer on the sprue. Instead we have generic pulp robots. Not bad, I'm still wanting some, but less than ideal for their two main uses. Oh well.

Plus their comms are awful, I have found out more here than what is easily availible on the website, even when you go to the page you are invited to pre-ored, not stump up your dollars.

Yeah,  I have to say the $1 pre-order leaves a bad taste in my mouth -- it's not like it's much money, but I'd be reluctant to throw good money after what now seems likely to be bad.... even if it only was $3 or $5 in my case. Which is a general problem at this point -- you'd have to really want them to gamble money on a product that will likely not materialize.

They'd have done much better to go with a 'p500' system, taken credit card numbers, and charged for the full cost on shipping.

I sent Tony an email asking if he would post an image of the re-sized sprue. They haven't done that yet and there may be people out there that haven't ordered it due to size complaints. We'll see.

Dave, I'm sure in the confusion, you've forgotten, but you posted a link to the resized sprue on page 1, first post
Resized Deathbots

They got rid of the 8mm & 10mm sizes.

There could be a glimmer of hope. On the WF forum there are people stating they didn't know that the $1 pre order was required. Hopefully WF may consider a second email shot to get them over the line.

woo! My nice little message over there sparked off a bit of debate. I think the WF need to pull their finger out in regards to how they are going to handle the league and liberty union system in the future as it does seem to be a case of quite a few folks not knowing that they were meant to cough up to move on.

Too busy with work and everything to work on them at the moment! Got some great things lined up with work at the moment (going to visit a certain company that is working on a certain film concerning a cetain movie about a certain story involving a dragon early next week, where a certain sculptor who works with a certian resincrack dealer is currently stationed...), so black ops are priority two for now- still want to get them done though

Well hopefully they will send out a round 2 email to pre-orderers to try and get them to drop the pennies as it seems like people have missed the fact that they need to do the dollar orders in order for it to go ahead.
