Good news you can now..... ORDER NEW B5 SHIPS!

[chainmailler]

Here is the copy of the e-mail I reciceved from Ironwind.


Greetings from Iron Wind !
Well, its taken us a while to get the ball rolling here on the Bab5 stuff - we've had to re-make
a lot of molds ... Most of the molds we picked up from the folks at Mongoose were in really
poor shape, and no longer produced full spins of good figures. Fortunately, we were able to
contact the sculptor who did the original sculpts ( back in the days when AOG was producing them )
and he is supplying us with brand new, pristine masters to make our new molds from.
You can look forward to seeing the Bab5 ships with all of the crisp lines and details that they
were originally intended to have.
We have just put together our first batch of releases, and these are available now -
Re-Releasing Week of November 10

336001 Hyperion Hvy Cruiser 12.95

336002 Omega Destroyer 19.95

336003 Starfury Fighter Flight (2) 9.95

336101 Sharlin Warcruiser 17.95

336102 Nial Fighter Flight 9.95

336108 Tinashi War Frigate 12.95

336202 Vorchans 12.95

336203 Sentri Fighter Flight 9.95

336301 G-Quan 18.95

And I have attached a list of the rest of the upcoming releases ....

via e-mail ... Just send me your order, and I can take care of it from here.

If you have any questions, Please let me know !

Thanks!

It should be noted that they never received the alternate Hyperions.

Those prices are in yank dollars, yes? How can those of us of a British, or indeed, continental persuasion, obtain these new models?

 

[chainmailler]

I imagine you drop her a line and tell her about where you are and ask if you can still order models.... that would problebly work.

 

[katadder]

possibly get them through ral partha europe at some point.

just been down the post office, and they say £1.3 to the dollar

so, rough and ready

336001 Hyperion Hvy Cruiser 12.95 = £9.96

336002 Omega Destroyer 19.95 = £15.34

336003 Starfury Fighter Flight (2) 9.95 = £7.65

336101 Sharlin Warcruiser 17.95 = £13.86

336102 Nial Fighter Flight 9.95 = £7.65

336108 Tinashi War Frigate 12.95 = £9.96

336202 Vorchans 12.95 = £9.96

336203 Sentri Fighter Flight 9.95 =£7.65

336204 Primus BattleCruiser 19.95 = £15.34

336301 G-Quan 18.95 = £14.57

336304 Frazi Fighter Flight 9.95 = £7.65

336305 T’Loth Narn Ship 19.95 = £15.34

so I say, oh my, the G'Quan has doubled in price, luckily no-one will buy it cos it's as well statted as, um, err, well it's not very well statted!

 

[Burger]

Dunno if your "up North" post offices are trying to rip you off, or if they're selling you venezuelan dollars or something... the exchange rate everywhere else is 1.49. So that G'Quan will "only" cost you £12.72

 

[McKickaha]

The poor old GPO has to get its money somewhere.

 

[McKickaha]

Anybody know how many flights of fighters per pack.

(If its still the "rumoured" 2 thats more than a 100% increase in price even at 1.49 xchange)

that was the counter at the post office in latchford. i thought it sounded a bit desperate, but still, it's a £5 hike in price on the ole g'quan, and as said, only 2 flights of fighters, blimey.

 

[katadder]

yeah its not looking good for us now. they going to price the brits out of the market.

 

[AdrianH]

The price hikes are not limited to Britain. There were complaints in the TMP: IWM: Babylon 5 Miniatures Return thread when IWM announced its prices for the re-introduced models...

Britain getting ripped off for stuff which is available cheaper in other countries is nothing new either.

 

[EDFDarkAngel1]

If you think you have it bad, try Canada

From reading the site it looks like it is one flight per pack, apart from the Starfuries come in packs of 2 for the same price, while something as small as Sentri is still packed as one.

Looks like ACTA may not be saved, those prices are laughable.

 

[chainmailler]

they have them up on their website, I almost cryed over the price of nials, so in order to equip a sharlin it is over 70 us dollars for the 4 nial flights and 1 flyer flight, you could base them 3 but athst still on 2 flights of 3 craft, which is 75% less for the same price, it really is laughable. You could however use counters for figthers and just buy the ships...

[lastbesthope]

You mocked me for my mass collection of unpaintred Thunderbolts, now it seems they could practically qualify as an investment :lol:

[M1ndr1d3rs]

So has anyone actually bought anything yet? Dollar rate is crazy here at the moment.. I'd hate to rush into buying stuffs.

 

[chainmailler]

I'll take one for the team and buy something, and then post pics when it gets here.

I thought it was the unpainted white stars we mocked you for?

 

[CZuschlag]

Those are colored. The cardboard counter comes that way.
