RE: Gamenerdz I contacted them last week about it and they said they expected their shipment sometime this week.
In my experience, these gen con releases tend to be trouble for the online retailers. Mini Market doesn't have their yet, either. I kind of expect this kind of delay when making the order.
I wish I knew why my FLGS hasn't gotten Wildfire yet. At what point do we consider wildfire a September release? This is the first time I've preordered/prepayed anything..lmao. Maybe that's why. I'm cursed!
I remember they showed them at Gencon, not sure if they were saved and/or reposted somewhere at some point
The funny thing is if you went to the conventions OR you preordered directly at CB, shelling out for their expensive shipment (but you might share this for several orders in one with friends, maybe?), you had the wildfire box in or right after the first week of August. Here I am picking up a package that got to my FLGS yesterday and a lot people seem not to have theirs still. CB ALWAYS serves their own orders first. That's the incentive to let them earn 100% of the price. I preferred to pay way less for a lot more (I paid for Wildfire + Hippolyta + Valkyrie + Advance Pack the same price they're asking for Wildfire + shipment now).
Not this year, but all the other years I preordered at CB and I still always got my Operation boxes after they already were at my usual FLGS. So I don't know if CB serves its orders first.
The booklet mentions a download showing all the minis in the example build guide, like what they're meant to look all round like I guess, but that's not on the website yet apparently. Wish it was, because I have a seemingly spare leg plate thing for a Nox and no clue where I can glue it on....
I also had an extra thigh plate, one Nox only needs a single plate but they're cast in sprues of two. Kind of like the old PanO Antennas where the female HMG Nisse or Teuton only needed one antenna but got two because that's how the piece is cast.
