The got Berhle to do the scuplting again. I wonder if they'll match the existing models in size? His Battletech sculpts always seemed to be out of scale with everybody else's.

I was looking at FRP Games online store and they have some of the boxed sets as November pre-orders (not all of them). I presume this means retailers have received word that they will be available.

There is something more than price of tin at work here. Pre Mongoose sale prices for fighters was £6 for 24. we are now almost at £5 for 12 for the cheapest EA & much Worse for Narn & Minbari at almost £4.50 for 6
That price hike is not reflected in the ships other than the fighters, at least at no so high a percenatge increase. They also use more tin (not counting a metal flying base, (I hope this is not included))
I could guess at other answers. like some of the cavities have expired in the fighter moulds multiplying the labour factor or is the result of a simple mistake, however we have to wait to see what Iron Wind have to say.

There are quite a few typoes on that list.
I hope those FRP prices remain in effect as it would indicate that fighters are four to a pack. That would be consistent with the rest of IWM's prices.
As ever, we'll have to wait and see for the moment (this would make the difference between a £120 Dilgar fleet for me and an £80 fleet).

I don't know if I am a fan of the new packaging. I liked being able to see the minis, now I have to flip it over to see what is inside, can't view them off the wrack.
My Local Retailer is all setup for the blisters the way they were, and have probably one hundred unsold MGP blister, so making the display work with only a handful out seems to have stumped them.
Would the same old blister packs have cost more?
