Yeah, I never got these through the mail either, although I have gotten plenty of mail from both mantic and wayland since then.

No sign of them yet either, but it looks like they're mailing them out in batches as opposed to as the orders come in. I know I signed up very shortly after their last mailing so I figured it'd take a bit. I'm also assuming it has to come across the pond.
Thinking about using them as bloodletters for an undead themed Daemon army, but kind of dragging feet until I see them in person. They certain look good from what I can tell from pics and the price is quite good.

I'm not like them, but I can pretend.

I got those from a friend of mine. I put them together and painted them. They turned out good. I replaced the hands with the options that were given (Love the cool looking
Freddy claw!). I also replaced the heads with GW Ghouls heads (like the looks of those better.) The only issue I had is some of the details are not as defined as they should be and made painting a little bit of a problem (clothing pieces kinda merged with the organic bits. I made a neat little diorama of them.

Thanks Poipo
not sure tbh.
My memory is not much better than a ghoul's, but I think I signed up fairly soon after it was announced on Dakka.

I'd really like to sign up and get some ghouls but whenever I go to the sign up page, down the bottom where it says "type the letters you see above" or whatever, there's only a [:blank] image. It does say they'll ship to NZ, but the website won't let me complete the form...

It's been three or so months by now, so I'm guessing the local postal services must've seen that it was from Mantic and claimed it as their own.

I waited about 3 months, then contacted Mantic direct, who sent me a sprue straight from head office. Excellent customer service and fast responses. Wayland never sent me them, and this is right after they never sent me a Predator I ordered from them either, it had to be re-sent so I got it in the end, but waiting 6 weeks for a product you've already paid for is a bit rich. I'm sorry to say I won't be using them again.
Anyway the Ghouls are great! Mounted them on some old square bases, and they look very nice together. The faces are very detailed.

I've got the same problem. Maybe they've given away all they want to.

I got mine a while ago, got them put together and spray painted black as a primmer already. I haven't painted them yet, I was thinking of making them a part of the Genestealer cult I've been working on. Great models, cant wait to Nid them out!

Mine came a while back. They did not come with the black bases, so I used some bases from another mantic set.
I painted them to match my GW zombies, and they look like they are right at home in that regiment.

If the offer's over, you think they'd have taken down/changed the whole page rather than just change one image without any mention. I suspect it's something on our ends...

Ghouls are great for 'stealer cults. These look to be even better than the GW ones. It's the same reason I wanted them, actually.

I got a sprue at GenCon this year. They were part of some comic handout that a booth was giving away.
Decent looking models. I'll have to paint them this weekend.

I bought a box at my FLGS this weekend. Great stuff, if a bit low on variety in the bits department. I've unscribed Waylands newsletter, down with this sort of thing! Though I do like the Mantic newsletters, so I'll be keeping those.

I've got a couple of these through orders from blueboargames last year, not a bad little freebee, can be used for zombies/daemon/mutant conversions.
I also got a couple of Warlord Games Firelock sprues who wouldn't be bad for empire handgunners.

Just started playing skirmish games from the Faith and Fear rulebook, so is very timely despite being late... if you follow my reasoning. Might just get some more at some point.

In all honesty I no longer really need the sprue, I have since then bought four boxes of ghouls to go with their zombies and cancelled my subscription to Wayland's newsletter.

Mine took nearly 7 months to get to me. I have gotten things with in a week before (thanks to GZG!), so it is not some sort of "shipping from the UK" issue.
I have some pictures in my blog, so you can see how big they are if you did not get yours. http://lasgunpacker.blogspot.com/2010/11/post.html
