Out of that May list, only these three are new:
PanO Support Pack
Shasvastii Haiduk
Ninja
Yu Jing Support Pack was already released, it's just getting Code One packaging. As mentioned, the Action Packs(there's two--a Shasvastii and an O-12 one) contain the models from Wildfire and the Beyond Wildfire packs. They will not include the preorder models as far as we know, nor will they include the contents of the Advance Packs(Sirius and I want to say Cadmus Hacker?).

Kickstarter is live for the PVC statues. Technically a decent value for pre-painted PVC statues of this size, but at $95 after shipping per figure it's pretty steep for the wargamer market, especially since the alternate arms and accessories (and the chibi versions, which I couldn't care any less about) are locked behind stretch goals.
I'm tentatively in for a PanO Father Knight/Knight of Justice, and I really want the Shang ji as well, but it's REALLY hard to even justify one figure at that price.
Ya, even with the shipping the price is pretty inline with other figures. If the SGs are met and you get the additional parts then you're actually getting a pretty good deal.
However I'd be surprised if this funded right now as I'm not sure Collectables are a big thing people are spending money on considering the circumstances and Infinity's fanbase probably isn't large enough to make up for the ones being cautious with their money. Especially with a 2 week long campaign.

Anyway, think that the preorder period is extended until last day of April, so maybe there will be people receiving it in May
So the distributors ought to get their orders by month's end, but who know how long the distributor's will take to ship them.
I'll be pleasantly surprised If I get my copy by the end of May.
I wonder how this affects the release of the full Code One ruleset. I can ask.

You know full well that Bolts will be in C1, and they will be even more awesome than ever. I hope that most of the ASA units make it, since they function just fine in vanilla Pan-O.
Gamenerdz now informs that June 30 TBD is the date for Kaldstrom from them. I think the distributors warehouse is closed 'til the end of the month. Some people have already received their Kaldstroms.
Well, something to look forward to Monday the 27th.

They won't. Remember that whole swathes of ASA are discontinued. Only things still sold are the Akali Sikh blisters(and that's because there is one in Icestorm!) and the Tikbalang(which was bundled with the Uhlan and got jammed into the Military Orders because reasons).
And maybe he doesn't know that Bolts will be in Code One. As for them being "even more awesome than ever"...that's a low bar. Bolts have been a poorly designed unit in a poorly managed sectorial for a long while.

I don't recall seeing Bolt logo on C1 sheet during CB presentation. There might have been an update that I wasn't aware of, or they simply recycled the video material they already had.

Acotencimento had my kind of background. I wouldn't be surprised to see them being put into legacy segment, on the upside I like the design of Vargar and hopefully there will be continuation of that trend.

The video doesn't have any Bolts in it that I saw? You might have mistaken the new PanO Support Pack with Trauma Doctor and Machinist for Bolts.

If they are, it will be in N4 not Code One. Remember that Code One is a whole separate thing, and is restricted to items available now.

Only been able to do a quick scroll through it so far, but I'm liking the clear diagrams. Noticed hacking is still in, but cut WAY down: there's only 1 hacking device and it only has 2 programs, Spotlight (targeted state) and Carbonite (immobilized 2). Also noticed that there's only regular orders and LT orders, no impetuous or Fury or, surprisingly, no Irregular models
Super trimmed down introductory light ruleset at over 100 pages. Yes, I know it has lots of white space and diagrams still, lol. I'll try looking through it this weekend.
