Subject: The Infinity News and Rumors Thread - 2017 Edition!
¡Por fin! If it is true. However, looking at the dates ( not 28 December, nor 1 April) I see the possibility that this is real. A quick look at the Rumors thread on the official forum (always a painful experience. Always.) shows this thing
Big image... a big fat image...
Spoiler:
Could be a Fat Yuan Yuan teaser. Which is fine by me. I will buy a fat Yuan Yuan and use it for my QK.

Can't we all just get a long sometimes? There aren't that many of us Infinity fans on Dakka, I don't see the point in trying to start arguments between ourselves. I assume that most of us are adults, surely we're capable of discussing our opinions while showing a little respect to people who may view things differently?
Well I suppose the cheesecake/sexualised miniatures (or whatever you want to call it) will always be one of those divisive topics, by its very nature. And even though the user group is small, we're divided geographically and culturally so will often have different opinions on it. Dakka is certainly not the only place to have aggressive comments about it certainly..
That link Chillreaper posted above no longer works,what was it?

I'd buy the gak out of a Fat Yuan Yuan.

It's more like a pre-emptive strike. We know it's coming, so if we mock the sentiments before-hand, they usually don't make them after the mini is shown.

Yes, please.
And even more than that - RULE #1 requires that the effort be made.
Successfully.

It was a link to a page on CB's webstore, for an item costing €49.95. Now, habla non Espanol, but it appeared to be a triple pack with the following items in it:
1x copy of the manga.
1x Knauf
1x Fat Yuan-yuan.
No pictures, but for some reason it had the store photo of the Red Veil minis at the top of the page.
Now that it's disappeared, I can only draw the following conclusions :
a) It was a total mistake.
b) It's happening, but someone pressed the wrong button a bit too soon.
or
c) The Arch-troll, Lord Bostria is at it again.

Nah I change my mind, not fair play at all. Why are you being petty, the pair of you? It's news about an Infinity miniature which is entirely relevant to this thread. If you have a problem with me then I have a private inbox that you're welcome to use.
You might be right on that, but it is important to make sure people understand that it is not a product produced or distributed by CB, so they cannot buy it from them.

Well, it is called the Infinity News and Rumours Thread, not the Corvus Beli News and Rumours Thread

They have not done one, no. They have only recently done GenCon exclusives -- Van Zant and the Lone Ranger. ( Yes, I hear the William Tell Overture. Soy inculto. Meh.)
Now, instead of quibbling, boys, perhaps focus on what is truly important, the news about a possible Fat Yuan Yuan. This is a mini that has been requested for even longer than the Wulver Girl.
I hope they do NOT do an Adepticon exclusive. Especially not a Fat Yuan Yuan exclusive. Adepticon is 23-26 March this year. Who from CB will be there? Su Señoria Bostria?
Will it be an exclusive pre-order, like Knauf, or is it just part of a bundle now, and to be sold separately later? The Knauf mini looks like a nice proxy for any number of Pan-O snipers. It will be a chain rifle profile, almost certainly, for the Fat Yuan Yuan. It would certainly motivate me to buy the comic book. ( which would immediately go, unread, in one of those sleeves in order to keep it *mint*)

Just because they haven't done an Adepticon exclusive miniature before, doesn't mean they can't or won't in the future.
If they make the Fat Yuan Yuan Adepticon exclusive, I just hope they make it available via their webstore like they did for Gencon exclusives.
