    Starting next week, we will start carrying I-94 Decals for our models. We have them in stock, just getting them up on the website, give us a few more days.

    For those who did not see this on the other thread… make note of the above. Awesome news!

    Coach,

    Just shooting out an idea, but is there any possibility of HBG selling cardboard glider tokens? Personally I like the concept of having them in the game but I also understand that what ever HBG produces has to be profitable and match demand. The airborne markers are cool, but a silhouette of a glider on a token would be a nice representation and would be much less time and money than a run of sculpts.

    Depends on the demand, you are the first to ask about the idea.


  • Crus, what do you have as Gliders ?

    Thanks coach. I might also suggest, knowing that you are a very busy guy, that it might be cool to special order the 3D shapeways prints spray painted not unlike the Global War supplement set. I know I for one would pay a premium for a special order like that even if it was not speedily produced.

    Anyways I love your product and the work you and the HBG team produces.


  • Crus, what do you have as Gliders ?
    Ah,ah, I bought year ago a set from Pitroad. (German airplan 1/700) I realized that the German Arado seems like a UK glider without the turbo motor.
    So I used it as UK,US and German Glider.
    I know it’s realy prototype but it’s better than nothing…

    Depends on the demand, you are the first to ask about the idea.
    Now you have someone else…
    But not as a token…a real glider. Not sure about the 3D shapeways…

  • I also request a real glider too.

    F6Fs will be in pre-order for upcoming US sets. Already have a F4U in the first US set.


  • Looking to buy just the fighters.

    I know coach…
    But you should consider to make it on your own.
    But I understand you make business with shapeways.

    Looking to buy just the fighters.

    Well, since they are including the F6Fs with the US Expansion set, I would imagine HBG will do with them like with the Japanese Expansion Set. First they have to get the sets made and fill all the pre-orders. Then once the sets are available as a regular item on the site for a little while, they will offer individual units in groups of 5 each. I think this is great. While you can’t buy just 1 or 2 like with previous sets, when you get them in 5 piece sets, the buying discount is already included.
    Normally, with single pieces, HBG has to charge around 60 - 65 cents a piece, which he will lower if you get 5-9 pieces and lower even further if you get 10+. However, the 5 piece sets are priced at $2.50 (50 cents a piece) so you are basically getting the 10+ discount already.

    I believe the F4U Corsairs from the US Marines sets are already available individually.


  • Nice MkIII Knp. You keeping that avatar?

  • Customizer

    Thanks Wittmann. You betcha I’m keeping it. When I first got on the Forum here, it was more of a “just checking it out” sort of thing so I set up my account as simple as possible. After that, I guess I was just too lazy to bother with the avatar. Didn’t think it was important. Now that I have one, I really like it.
    You can think toblerone77. He kind of spurred my interest. Then I looked through my pictures and found this one and was like “Ahhh, that’s perfect.”

    By the way, I was just going over the different piece options available to us between OOB and HBG. Did any of you guys realize the US will have 8 options for fighter pieces once the US Expansion sets get here (9 if you include jets)?
    1 > P-38 Lightning = OOB all games
    2 > F6F Hellcat = Pacific (2001) and Guadalcanal
    3 > P-40 Warhawk = A&A 1941
    4 > F4U Corsair = HBG US Marines set
    5 > P-40 Warhawk = HBG US Supplement set
    6 > P-51 Mustang = HBG US Supplement set
    7 > F6F Hellcat = HBG US Expansion set
    8 > P-47 Thunderbolt = HBG US Expansion set
    9 > P-80 Shooting Star = HBG US Expansion set

    Now, I know that technically, 2 of the fighter types above are repeated between OOB and HBG, but they are still options for us. Some gamers are so house-rule crazy, they could probably come up with different uses for all 9 types, even the OOB  and HBG repeats.


  • Thank you for pointing that out, Knp.
    I am not sure how many of those I have. Will check. I only own one HBG set. I forget which. (I don’t play live games any more.)
