Hey guys, I don't know who's the original creator of this, but I found this CB release schedule Excel sheet a while ago somewhere on the internet (may the OP please stand up). Since no one seemed to keep it up-to-date, I did so in my spare time. I finally thought I should share it. I added a bunch of features that I thought were useful, like using color coding to differentiate between available and OOP stuff, and added a bunch more info that had been missing. It's still not perfect, but it's 95% there. I couldn't find 100% confirmations on the exact release month of a few of the very first kits, back when Infinity debuted in 2005. The internet archives aren't forever it seems. If anyone of the first day veterans has more information, let me know. You can find the Excel sheet on the same Google Drive folder where I put my Model Identifiers. Here's the link: Infinity Release Schedule (2005-present) Finally, some previews Spoiler: Screenshots
No not at all. I've been counting up simply. It's in some Yu Jing threads. It's been to try to figure out what might get big releases next year. 2022 New figure Releases AS OF August.

I've updated the sheet with a lot more info on the first page: It now contains all the data I could find for when stuff got discontinued As well as the contents of all boxes I also added an additional column for scenery and book releases and filled in the respective dates
Make a copy ASAP. @Pierzasty has not posted since February, and I remember some of his posts hinting he not being happy with how CB handled Infinity recently and probably moving on. So maybe he did and binned everything (does his Infinity archive work for anyone?). Or maybe Google is doing one of their recurrent "fuck you, we drop this". In any case, make a copy. I dowloaded .ods of the original by @Pierzasty, but @burlesford page does not allow to export without an account (Google being Google again). Really, figure how to make a copy that is not linked to the original before it is too late, whatever the reason that triggers that popup.
I updated the calendar with the latest news. Additionally, I added a bit more info on the first sheet (found a bit more stuff). I also added another little gimmick: A table on the "missing" tab that lists which units are actually missing from the officially "OOP" factions. The idea came to me when I realized that NCA, a faction that is officially oop, in reality misses only three units: Auxilia, Bolts, and the Uhlan. Sure, these are somewhat faction defining, but it's still only three units in what is otherwise a completely functional sectorial. (Side note: Which makes it even weirder to me why they don't just re-release the Bolts and the Uhlan – all amazing and still valid sculpts – and a box of resculpted Auxilia, and bam, NCA would be back in production.) Anyway, have a great day.
Some to add to missing Yu Jing Missing regular troops: Guilang Hacker Jujak ENG and Breaker Combi Ye Mao ENG Hundun SMR Zhanying BSG and HMG Pheasant Hacker, Combi Rifle and BSG Bao all troops are no longer in production Character missing options: Tai Sheng Mk12 Sun Tze Multi-rifle Sun Tze MSR So Ra Kwon SMR Krit Kokram Feuerbach What no one wants but there's profiles for anyway: Shaolin BSG and Smoke GL.
Just some minor things : There was a lim. ed. Ye Mao with Eng loadout, but yeah we miss a regular release. Pheasant BSG is still in the ISS starter. Krit is missing either all loadouts or none, because his mini sports only sidearms. Best resolution in my eyes: Erase the FB version and give the Feuerbach a non character troop type - if necessary create new one ;-)
Since it's limited ed. I count it. Thanks. I forgot the Pheasant BSG was in the starter. I'm fine with the gunfighter to be used for the MR and HSG but I think if it's a heavy weapon, it needs to be shown.
The missing list is pretty inconsistent anyway, I admit. I alternate between just listing units that miss a sculpt at all and listing every single missing loadout (there are a lot). The thing is, CB has always released more loadouts than minis, so it's kinda pointless to list stuff that will never get a release anyway. There will never be a Red Fury Grenzer, just as there will never be a second Tai Sheng just so they can slap a Mk12 on her. But then I should take out a lot of other stuff, too. For O12, for example, I simply wanted to know what they could hypothetically still release, since every profile by now has at least one mini. So I listed every missing loadout. For White Banner, on the other hand, I'm pretty sure they're counting that sectorial as complete and won't release any further weapon options. So I didn't bother listing all the missing loadouts. I don't remember why I did the same for IA, though. If anything, IS is next in line. Oh, and Bao troops and Sun Tze are there. They're in the column below. I'm separating stuff that doesn't have a sculpt at all from stuff that just needs a resculpt. Thanks for pointing those out though.
A few notes to add, regarding Haqq: Hunzakut: a Spoiler: Hunzakut Sniper did exist (he was a part of the 2gen. Haqq Starter Pack). Got discontinued since then. Ghulam: a Spoiler: Ghulam Panzerfaust model did exist, also got discontinued. It of course could be proxied with a Ghulam ML, but I would be agaisnt it, personally. In my opinon, Ghulam GL can not be reliably proxied with a Ghulam ML, that's a totally different weapon. Especially given the model should represent the very useful Ghulam NCO. Asawira: the Spoiler: AP Rifle model did exist, it got discontinued. Hassassin Ayyar: there was a dedicated Spoiler: Shock Marksman model, part of the now-discontinued 2gen. Hassassin starter. The generally availabe Twin Viral Pistol model can be used as a proxy for any Ayyar though. A dedicated Sniper model never existed. Daylami. The Spoiler: Rifle+LSG model is missing, despite being present in all 3 Daylami generations so far. The Marksman model listed as existing - never was. Hassassin Barid. Since all Barids (FOs and Hackers) are equipped with Rifles & Pitchers, there's really no need for two entires on the list. Sunduqbut: the model is, IMO, ambigious enough to be considered an universal proxy. Bashi Bazouk: Spoiler: Combirifle variant did exist. The model was discontinued though, and the profile got altered to Rifle & E/M Mines. Janissaries: the HMG 2gen sculpt got since discontinued.
Yeah I think they come out with too many profiles. It's like they do it to have the option to come out with something later. But like said, they never do. I think next year O-12 might get new stuff. New profiles and weapon options that haven't come out. For WB, they had better come out with more. The Guilang hacker is one of the most used profiles in YJ and all we have is the BSG. You can't even find the Sniper anymore. There's also only one general release of Ye Mao and one in a box set. This is a core-capable squad. The ENG does work! The same might be said for the Jujak ENG since it's the only specialist they have.
