If i can get talon, salmore, gauntlet and piston, new mania king, and six sigma in one shot in my pile of loot, ill be one happy camper. Add FP mindwipe to the shipment and ill be even more happy. I remember how quick code showed up after the preorder.

Now that picture makes the Torso look way too small compared to the arms and legs.

Thanks for the newer pics todays.

Definately think the newer colored red face plate looks better than the previous colored one.

The orange colored face plate looks so much better, this was a good decision to make!

Looks good to me!

Grrr... this just reminds me about how Talon isn't in-hand yet...

Not sure how significant this is, but my preorder on BBTS just changed from third quarter to July.

That's the way it should be - apparently shipments have been on their way to retailers for the last week or two.

Yeah, read that earlier in the thread. Here's hoping it switches to 'processing' sooner rather than later. :BOWDOWN:

Maybe it'll give me time to get paid again (next Friday) before he hits my Pile of Loot. I'm very anxious to get this one in hand, and holding off on shipping for this guy only.

January 20, 2013 for me.

Is this sort of like a group therapy session? "Hi, my name's Jake, and I am a plastic crack addict. It has been 545 days since I ordered my Talon..." 8-}

At least this is a more civil and community building exercise than some of the alternatives... :HEADHURTS:

I really hope that Tigris doesn't encounter any additional delays. I want this set completed in the next 2 months. UT Predaking needs a friend to play with.

Oh, for sure! I too am shocked that it has been about a year and a half since the preorder went up. I thought it was kind of a good idea for us to share like that.

Plus, my accountant would like me to do something about my plastic crack habit. My picture book habit is almost kicked. (I'm probably done with comic book collecting this summer...)

"Hi, Jake."

Yeah, it's been a long time coming. Emphasis on long, there. And yeah, I hope Tigris ships on time. My Predaking needs arms, dangit!

MMC has just announced that they have recalled all their shipments of Talon from the stores due to an unforseen error in the wings, Tigris is delayed until this time next year, and Felisaber will ship out immediately but is limited to the first 100 customers.

This almost makes me long for the days before even Rickrolling, when we used to trick people into Goatse and Tubgirl. Man, we didn't know what true tolling would become.

And this one was great because it is so believable!

**Disclaimer, I am not responsible for those of you who wish to Google the above. (This is a bit like saying, "don't look down." Just be warned that it is not for the faint of heart...)

Tricking people with goetse and tubgirl is just evil. I definitely should have gone with something more than just a link to "trollface" but I was not feeling terribly creative I suppose. Anyway, glad to give a chuckle. I wanted it to start out believeable and then get a little more absurd towards the end so as not to be too mean. ^^

After rereading That Bot's fantastic satire (would it help if I told you I only used Goatse for the powers of good?) I thought I'd look up some release date stuff on MMC's homepage and Planet Steel Express. I found a couple of interesting tidbits from PSX. (I promise, no weird links below! What a reputation I'm going to develop if I continue to confess past questionable actions...)

Expected release date of Talon is now July 25th. (Woot!)

Expected release date for Tigris is August 15. (Now I have to decide if I'm going to ship my POL or wait until mid August. Because, MMC never delays their offerings. 8-}

)

Here are the surprises:

Bovis is on pre-order again with an expected release date of October 1, 2014.

Leo Dux is also on pre-order again with an expected release date of January 30 2015. Are we looking at a second run already?
