Saw that over on HT. The one that deploys barriers is more my taste. I can't find any fucking preorders for the shit. I know it's gonna be helluva expensive.

 

[NSA]

What the what!

 

[K-Tiger]

If it was Dust I'd be all "shut up and take my money!".

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That line is by far a must have for me...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Can't find pics of the front half in mech mode

 

[Monkeywrench]

Very Cool!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

They need to do some kinda helo!

 

[K-Tiger]

^^^*sploosh*

 

[Cloud Strife]

Now those look awesome. I'll have to keep tabs on this line.

 

[Keenan]

Must have!

 

[Fled74]

Great googly-moogly. Those look badass!

 

[lancelot]

Where the hell do you buy this stuff? It looks awesome! I know it's most likely way more expensive than I'm use to paying, but I'm fucking sick of Hasbro's shit man.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

We need to get the thread title changed...maybe "Oritoy Skronex"?

SO far you don't. I don't know where he got a production sample from, but I don't see any preorders. This line was announced at least a good 18 months ago.

"Ori Toy SKRonex Acid Rain"

 

[fogger1138]

WANT!

 

[Videoviper]

Robot kingdom will be getting these, don't know who else.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Good lord, I can imagine how much that will cost.

 

[K-Tiger]

Robot kingdom will be getting these, don't know who else.

BBTS should, as they're carrying Ori Toy's Three Kingdoms figures.

 

[pcsguy88]

This is by far the coolest shit to pop up in 1:18 in a long time. Just what my rebels need!

 

[K-Tiger]

It would go real well with those, pcs!

 

[pcsguy88]

It would go real well with those, pcs!

After minimal research, I quickly realize these will never materialize.

 

[K-Tiger]

There's a video review of one, it had to come from somewhere.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Don't you say those things pcs!

 

[lancelot]

Knowing our luck in the 1/18 scale world, it would be typical for this line to be cancelled.

 

[K-Tiger]

To update this, it's looking like BBTS is distributing this line. I've also heard the number $180 floated.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That's more worth it than $160 for Bbi helos...any word as to when?...I hope RK carries it eventually...

 

[K-Tiger]

Not heard any release info as of yet.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I contacted another site that mainly deals with TF kinda stuff...I'll see what he says...

EDIT: just checked my mail...he already responded...he says he has no current plans to carry them, but gives a vague "maybe in the future" closing...

 

[Monte Williams]

Whoa! It's like a plausible, real-world H.A.V.O.C. given a World War Robot makeover.

Good god do I want one!

The fact that it transforms into a Bulkhead-esque robot with a delightful retrofuture bubblehead is just agonizingly fun.

[firstworldproblems]Why isn't this available for me to buy?!?[/firstworldproblems]

I'm really tempted to email them and ask if thing was actually released. Look at the price tag on it.

 

[daremo]

According to this interview at the end of July, BBTS will offer the series very soon. There's also a Stronghold review here.

 

[K-Tiger]

I saw the Stronghold review. I'm just wondering if HLJ had an allotment and sold through, or offered them for preorder only to have to drop it.

 

[Keenan]

Discontinued according to HLJ.

Edit: Managed to snag a StrongHold. Should have it in about two weeks.

 

[daremo]

A lot can happen in a month, but they (Ori Toy) did say these are a very limited production and mentioned that the next vehicle will include a figure to be released in December. I like the look of the WF-04a Beaver. So at least 9 vehicles plus a CQB Armor in addition to some figures.

I love the artwork for these.

 

[K-Tiger]

So limited that no one sees them come and go is no bueno.


I still might be down for the sperreschlepper, but I really wish these were more Dust-like in design.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

fucking hate when a company shows off something kickass but they have no way to make it, distribute or just falls apart in general.

Kinda like Molten Monkey International and their SK Omega line?

I was thinking the same thing. I actually saw the same vid on this line about 2months ago, can't believe they cancelled it. I'm hoping the Ghost Recon 1:18's are not completely dead too.
