A Marvel set would be cool.

I'd be all over a Marvel game. Imagining a Sentinel fig right now.

**Azazelx**

This is from the new(ish?) X-Men Marvel Heroclix...

**adhuin**

That's no sentinel mini. That's Wolverine-mini with a scenic base.

**Anung Un Rama**

Wow. That looks way worse than the original Heroclix Sentinel.

**Dysartes**

That was one of the Sentinels from the Giant Size X-Men set - the large models from that set did see a re-release in clear packs down the line, with different dials.

Any news from the Supply Drop?

they are never online and i cant seem to find a phone number.

Had an order with them from the 15td of Dec not yet sent and cant seem to contact them in any way. Thei "contact us" always give me an error when trying to send a message

Im going to try facebook but after that the paypal claim is going in

**Alpharius**

The Supply Drop should absolutely have better customer service, and definitely fix their e-mail issue, but please note that I don't think anyone in the USA has received their Batman figures yet either, maybe?

I think Knight Models severely underestimated the popularity of this line, along with their ability to supply the models...

**FacelessMage**

Nope. My models ordered have yet to arrive.

**Alpharius**

Isn't that what I said?

I ordered first wave stuff on the 8th and he did say in fairness to him that he had been in hospital etc. Also Knight Models just havent sent out the stock. I asked for a refund and got one due to the wait and what I have heard from some people who have the models not being very good sculpts etc.

I would ask again and just keep at it

No worries - I did come across a bit harsh too, my apologies!

I can't believe that they still haven't shipped these over to USA customers yet.

I haven't heard that! Any more details on what the problems here are?

**rosafari**

There's a great batmobile in WHSmiths (uk) at the moment for £2.99 - the start one of those collecitble figurine series - more details at Lead Adventure:

http://www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?topic=49228.0

I picked one up today, the cockpit is slightly small (looks far more like a one seater) but otherwise is a nice model for the price. (Batman is very slender! but with a repaint may look ok with Zombicide figs or similar).

Of course if you want a different batmobile you can buy a later issue!

**Anung Un Rama**

I asked at my local store if he can order them directly. Haven't heard anything about that since.

**Alpharius**

Sweet!

Now if there was only a USA subscription...

I sent an um very pleasant and nice email asking for an update

. Personally this is no way to.run a business.

**Alpharius**

I hope the rules are really good, because the lack of updates from Knight Models on the status of miniatures shipments is really starting to turn me off of this game.

I really want to give them more of my money, but no rules in English + no models = WTF?!?

You call that a Batmobile sale?
This is what I call a Batmobile sale

**thesupplydrop**

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay in providing people with updates on here. I have been in hospital as stated previously due to unforeseen health issue arising and with the Xmas close down as well which has slowed us down!! I have updated our Facebook page with information regarding our large stock order with Knight Models.

Knight Models have been overwhelmed with the success of this range and have run out of their first stock run... This obviously puts a bit of strain onto the retailer as we then have customers chasing where their order is...

We have contacted Knight Models and they have informed us that their next stock run is inbound from their warehouse. With this in mind we should receive this in early next week and finally allow us to satisfy all our customer orders. This so far has NOT been good business and we feel that this delay can cause a negative effect on customers using many retailers again!!

Hopefully Knight Models can start to work more closely with retailers in the future!!

I do apologise very largely and hope that the wait wont be for too long now!

TSD

**Alpharius**

Anyone 'in the know' know when English rules will be available?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

This is all we know (taken from Knight Models Facebook page (26 dec 2012)

As a Christmas gift, we allowed a free download of the rules in this link

Basic Rules http: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?guzk65gh6yrrbd3
Special traits rules http://www.mediafire.com/view/?2nlb44mlex1q6lc

These rules are in Spanish and in the coming weeks will already be available in English free downloadable through our website

THANKS

KNIGHT MODELS TEAM

**skrulnik**

It's getting to the point where I am considering cancelling my pre-order just to protect myself in case Knight Models never comes thru.
I ordered on Black Friday, iirc. So times getting short.

**Alpharius**

Has anyone in the World outside of Spain received any of these miniatures yet?

**Empchild**

The tracking number i have from them shows it went international on the 21st.

**ironicsilence**

I can forgive the supply issues...smaller company not expecting the demand...but size of company isnt a very good reason for keeping its customers and resellers in the dark..

It's BATMAN.

Anyone not expecting a huge demand is silly and should be considered as such.

I dunno. They were previously selling STAR WARS so they're not unaccustomed to using popular IP. It's likely they didn't realise how much more popular the models would be with actual rules behind them.

Star Wars has alternative options for models, ranging from Clix to garage kits.

Batman does not really have the same, at least when we are referring to the whole Batmanverse that is.

**Cyporiean**

I'm fairly sure Batman has Clix and garage kits.
