So those must be the Zombi Blight/Robo-Allied bonus units we're getting due to that 1 week delay? Nifty!
And I understand why they didn't ship the terrain - it doesn't fit in the box; fair enough - but not shipping the duplicate items is a bit of a pain especially considering we know they're complete.

From what I remember most of the duplicate items are actually going to be different sculpts. Additionally it's much quicker to pack one thing (The boxed set) at a time.
I've played this a bunch of times since I got it and honestly I've never found myself short models to deploy. Yeah I may not always have enough of a certain type of vehicle to deploy but I alwyas had enough stuff to deploy.

Wow. This really sucks, I really hoped they would not go Zombiecide on this one with the super exclusive chase figures that go for hundreds on eBay. But, there it is. The underproduced white whale figures begin.

He's initially going to be made available as a freebie for LGS purchases made thru ACD Distribution. He'll be made available later via CMoN at conventions and eventually through the web store.

Thanks for the update!

Not true at all, sadly.
"Retail stores can order directly from ACD distribution. I am not sure how it works, but as far as I know, they got a fix number of Treasure Hunters, and they either give away one per box game purchased or tag on a nominal fee. Beyond that we have a small amount left for give-aways at conventions that we are attending. Just like we have no plans on selling any KS promos directly, we don't have plans to sell any retail promos either."
I hate exclusives. I too really hope they don't pull that crap. At the very least make him available via KS, or through CMON's webshop.
CMoN's exclusives have never been that hard to get. Which makes me really scratch my head when I see the prices some of it goes for on ebay.
For the longest time you could get all of the Zombicide Season 1 exclusives through them at any convention they went to. It cost more to do it this way then if you had just gotten it through KS but it was considerably less then buying it on ebay.
If your really having a hard time tracking something down, why not post about it here? I'm sure there are quite a few people going to conventions that CMoN will be at that could help you out. It's what I did at Templecon for some other people.

Well, no. All of it is true save for the "eventually through the web store" portion, which I have indication that are going to try and do....eventually.

Work in Progress on a concept for a Bear Cav Unit. So many people were asking for this and I really grew to like the idea. This guy'll be a hero. Can't wait to get him in the fight!
