Yeah, I got my dates mixed up. I meant the 17th.

Point still stands- they need to spread these out over the entire period of time and not just let them all disappear that first day.

Also seems like some of the Game of Thrones newer releases are starting to trickle out. Just got the Bone dudes on order!

I'm not getting why the FOMO when TMNT miniatures are on the market, and fans have already made Zombicide cards for them?

Anyway, MM has a MAPP Amnesty Sale, including Asmodee and CMON products. This includes Zombicide base sets at $50, Song of Ice and Fire stuff, and Kick Ass at $24.

BTW, MM also has Gloomhaven at $85 on The Drop. Lowest prices since ever. I have a Massdrop referral code if you miss it, since I've seen it on MD for $90.

The Turtles' time has come, shellheads! You can get your hands on the exclusive TMNT x Zombicide character packs starting tomorrow July 17 at 12pm Pacific (3pm eastern) on idwgames.com/shop ! Direct link will go live tomorrow at noon! Until then, check out these minis dude!

**Alpharius**

No pics?

For shame...

Tempted here!

Probably be a game time decision, price dependent...

**Ghool**

I like them. Tempted and entirely dependant on price.

**Ernster**

so are they available yet, if so where?

**Ghool**

12pm PDT Ior 3pm EDT i think is when they go on sale in the IDW store.

Not yet Noon Pacific time, 3PM Eastern so 2.5 hours from now.

**Ernster**

Thanks Dave, do you know where. IDW Games or possibly IDW limited?

**DaveC**

They'll probably post the link here

IDWs site is here

**Elbows**

Ooof...those Turtle sculpts are pretty dire. Neat idea, but I'd source the old retro-models.

**Ernster**

Thanks again Dave. My son turns 12 next week and he LOVES TMNT and has the board game. I showed him the info on this and he went crazy.

awesome, the site has crashed!

The IDW site crashed. bummer.

**DaveC**

I guess there's a lot of people hammering the IDW server!

**Alpharius**

Facepalm - atomic version!

Hopefully it gets sorted quickly...

...or in about 8 minutes?

IDW Games
Just now ·
Murphy's law. Before we even set the store page live for the TMNT packs, our site went down. Our server agency as informed us this is not due to the high demand (as actually no one was pinging the site for the packs yet), but rather some oddity that cause the site to crash. We're working on it right now and should be up and running again soon (or so we're told). Please bear with us.

**Alpharius**

Indeed!

With this image too, no less:

**DaveC**

You're all about the images today

I live to serve!

Yeah, with a bit too much influence from the movie-stylings too. I'm an old school "all red" Eastman/Laird purist. Not a fan of the modernized take on them. Someone did a "don't ask me how" line of gorgeous E/L Turtles a few years ago (and I think a flix game even had some retro minis). I like the concept of the game, but the sculpts are definitely not my cup of tea..

**Alpharius**

I like 'em - and they fit the overall aesthetic of the Zombicide setting too.

**DaveC**

Some people managed to get early access (this may have been IDWs fault rather than any individual) and they are now on ebay.

Cost from IDW is $50 for a bundle with both packs in it and $5 shipping

Site is still down I saw a confirmation email on facebook for an earlier sale.

EDIT: I wonder if they put it up at the wrong time tried to pull it and brought the whole site down?

**Monkeysloth**

$50 is actually a surprisingly reasonable price.

We’ve been working non-stop to try to get our web store back up and running, but we don’t have a quick end in sight. Our server had a catastrophic failure, due in part to the large influx of visitors to the site, and we’re working to replace the hardware, which isn’t a quick process. The new plan is to reopen the web store at 12pm PDT tomorrow, July 18th. Even if the site comes up before then, the Zombicide x TMNT bundle will not be available for purchase until that time.
Regarding the few people who were able to purchase packs early, an engineer did accidentally enable the packs for purchase briefly an hour early during a test, during which 30 copies were sold. Those purchases will still be honored, but we have ~1970 copies left in our stock, so there will still be plenty to go around. Thank you for your understanding and continued patience.

Do they have EU shipping or anything. Bepop and Rocksteady are so beautiful. Stop making stuff so limited.

As it seems that I am one of the "lucky 30" (I ordered it 10 minutes before the official launch as I did not check what time it was for Europe), the flatrate shipping fee was 25$. So 75$ in total.

And I really do not understand why it is limited to 2000 copies...

They have a small production run, some of which was sold at the San Diego comic convention, some they will sell at shows from booths(but not many) and the rest (2000) were set for online sale.

**Alpharius**

It's a little over an hour before they're supposed to be live and selling these things online again and...I can't get the idwgames.com page to even load.

That revised timeline is not looking likely at this point...

**DaveC**

Glad I didn't stay up for them to sort it out last night and $25 international shipping kills any interest I had

Well by giving a time they've guaranteed another DOS type attack on their own pages from all the potential shoppers (and folk who jusyt want to see if it crashes again)

they just need to stick the site back up in a few days time, unannounced, preferably in the middle of the (USA) night

**Commodus Leitdorf**

Oh man, those Baratheons!

Okay, I guess I finally gotta give in and get that box set. Time for Bobby B to get back in action.
