Subject: [Kings of War] Mantic Fantasy News & Rumors
Has anyone seen either of the new Kings of War Champions kits yet? I was able to pick up June’s release in late May but haven’t had any luck finding it in the US yet.
Mark from the Mantic Universe Podcast posted unboxing videos of the kits and said that the local store stocks it
Might be worth dropping a comment asking where he bought them
I finally heard back from flipsidegaming on eBay where I’ve purchased every single kit so far.
We spoke with our ordering team and they are unsure at the moment if / when we will be able to acquire these products. We apologize that we could not provide you with more information.
I don’t know what’s going on but I’ve not found any of the latest kits for sale in the US.
Did the have any stuff distributed by Diamond ? A whole bunch of RPG, Gaming and Comic companies have stock stuck in Diamonds warehouse, while Diamond is trying to seize it to help pay their bankrupcy which they may (or may not) be able to due due to a legal technicality, it's in court now
alternatively maybe the US stock of the new stuff is earmarked for gencon and will slip into general sale after that

Rebasing shenanigans. Nope, not gonna do it. Buy molded resin bases, super glue the expensive centerpiece figures to them, then manufacturer changes base sizes for THEIR advantage, not the games. F**K them. I'll stick with the current KoW bases sizes, and will not move to 4th. Hell, I'll abandon KW instead. Mantic has not necessarily lost my custom yet, but they are close. KoW was the only game of theirs I was buying their products.
