Harley is exclusive, Batman is just free? Nothing says he won't be available afterwards unless I've missed something

He's the preorder bonus...so yeah, you missed something.

The pre-order bonus of being free...

Batman is an interesting point.

He's not listed as limited edition, but its very similar to the Alfred from the first book.

And Alfred has not yet been released for the general public after more than a year and a half.

So, concern for a similar happening here is justified.

I get that you think you're succeeding at being witty, but Knight Models tends to do the same stuff that Corvus Belli(both Spanish companies) does: they take something that would be heavily sought after on its own and turn it into a preorder bonus that will not see general release for months if not years if not never being released period.

Well, congratulations on being needlessly aggressive

Harley is a special edition, Batman is free with preorder. It doesn't say Batman is limited to only being available with the pre-order.

It could very well be that it won't be, I was simply pointing out the above based on what is in the last few pages of this thread.

CB aren't French? I've been thinking that all these years

Direct copy from the e-mail announcement I received from Knight Miniatures (emphasis bold text mine):

"IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear friends,
We’re pleased to announce the release of the Suicide Squad, Knight Models’ starter box for Batman Miniature Game.
Suicide Squad game box can be pre-ordered between September 21st and October 12th. Orders of this product will begin to be served from October 26th onwards in strict order of arrival.
Pre-orders received up to October 12th will come with an exclusive: Batman Ben Affleck Version.
Customers pre-ordering Suicide Squad game box will be able to purchase the special edition Harley Quinn Bomb Shell until pre-order ends.

Thank you for your support.
Knight Models team
This email was sent automatically. Please do not reply to this email directly."

Also image in said e-mail:

Yeah, if that exclusive Alfred has not seen another release, I would not hold my breath on this Batman being released again outside of this offer.

And I think that was the overall point of those disappointed with such a 'high profile' miniature being offered in a way that was potentially very exclusive and very limited.

Hopefully that won't be the case OR they will make another version of Batfleck for the 'general public' (people who didn't want to purchase the Suicide Squad set).

Yeah, that does indeed suck. At least with the Harley bombshell there's the normal version so you don't miss out totally.

An odd decision is there is no alternate version on the way.

Based on their history... doesn't seem likely. I hate that I'm probably going to end up buying this when I don't even *really* want it, but really want that Batman. Ugh.

Holy crackers! An excellent starter set right when the wife and I were thinking of buying in? Sign me up!

Even if I end up selling the Mr. J half to one of our friends, this seems like a sweet bundle. I'll wait for the Warstore or Miniature Market to set up pre-orders to compare pricing before we decide if we're getting Bombshell Harley.

I feel like I missed something here - what's the Bombshell Harley? A model you can only buy if you pre-order from KM?

Anyway I've put in my own pre-order (which might suck if this Bombshell Harley is something I want since it wasn't with KM) but as I don't care for Batsy I would certainly part with my Batflek

Edit: never mind, I see now. Shoot. I like that Harley model too..

It's the model on the previous page, a display Harley riding a bombshell, which you can only get by ordering from Knight directly and paying an extra 10EUR.



Got my set ordered from The Outpost, £60 which is the best price I've seen so far.

Yep, Bombshell Harley is an exclusive from the KM store (and not a freebe, have to pay extra 10 euros).

I'll be getting mine here:

I've used them for some INFINITY stuff recently, and they've been fantastic!

You've had good luck? Sweet I have seen them but I hadn't heard much good or bad about them other than the price.

For me, they've delivered VERY quickly on in stock items, and I've had no issues on pre-ordering stuff either.

They are also very responsive to emails as well.

And, as you note, the prices are hard to beat, and the shipping is usually (always?) free too!

Game Nerdz and FRP games are my US-based game sites these days. Both have very good service.

Ordered mine through the warstore for $97 including shipping with the batfleck model .

$79.97 with the Batfleck model and free shipping from Game Nerdz for me...

Hoping they break the contents of this up at some point as well. All I want out of this is Katana for my Law Forces. Or maybe I'll just do what I'm doing with Ivy and Batgirl, buy one of their models and print off the different cards for them so I can play the other versions still.

That is what I am doing, with the exceptions of different sized bases. Titan Bane and Regular bane wouldn't be interchangeable but Regular Bane and DKR Bane are fair game for my opponent.

Im pretty sure I am gonna order this from Outpost.

GameNerdz is where I've done my eBay shopping for KM. They're awesome!

I don't mean to contradict, but there are only two base sizes for BMG; 30mm and 40mm. All the Banes are on the 40mm base.

Contradict away, I only have Titan Bane so far, I was expecting the base ones to be the smaller sizes.

Lets change the example to Joker and Titan Joker?

Models that have the Large trait are on 40mm base (all the Banes, Titan Joker, Swamp Thing, Grundy, Gotham Butcher, somehow the Riddler Mech and a few others). 40mm is the largest base that BMG uses.

All other models are on 30mm bases.

Batbod is unique--it doe not come with a base. There is much discussion, though most people put it on a bike base.

Interesting, I did not know that. I'll need to change my DKR Bane's base, then!

Don't think you do, DKR Bane doesn't have the Large trait so should be on a regular 30mm base.
