I have faith in them, and believe the second edition will be nothing less than stellar.
They've already shown nothing but commitment to producing the highest quality; product, re-issuing sculpts, issuing replacement, stat cards, even going so far as giving refunds for certain models purchased. They've keept certain sculpts in production past the point where they even lose money. If
that doesn't show dedication, and loyalty to their fans/customers, nothing does.
Even if things haven't turned out 100% correctly in the past, they've shown they at least tried, and tried did things for the right reasons. They've definitely paid their dues.
The new book, seems interesting, and the fact that they're doing an open playtest is very kewl. They're treating their customer/players as a resource that is to be valued, insteadof a nuisance to be painfully tolerated.
Same with responses to player's questions. They're being open, and proving
why they do the things they do, instead of arbitrarily raising/lowering points costs or game statistics across the board.
Given their stellar track record for quality, I have nothing but the highest hopes for this second edition.
