HBG's Japanese Sets

LHoffman

Japanese pre-orders are shipping out now. First batch out today. Coach is QCing the batches and sending some each day with a little bonus in there for your patience. Thank you again everyone!

Bonuses unnecessary… but never turned down. Keeps all future business in your corner for sure though! :wink:

Variable, I can’t say I have been patient, the excitement has been too overwhelming. I love you guys and love your stuff. You guys are the best. I’m like a kid waiting for his birthday card from grandma!

YOU GUYS ROCK!

I really have been wanting good Japanese pieces since 1984. Knowing that they are on the way gives me that kid at Christmas feeling that I haven’t had in many years. Sometimes it’s the little things that go a long way……

Variable

I know how all of you feel. I originally made my Midway game for the A&A board game sized pieces, not the A&A minis. With these on the way to my house, it will look a lot better soon when I use the green and orange on the map. 'Course, it will be perfected once the Midway boxed game is made with it’s own pieces… :evil:

Oops. I said NOTHING! Nothing. :wink: :-D

The Midway game will be pretty much air and naval battles, not much land action there. I suppose, since this is a game and in games we often deal with alternate realities, it could get to the point where the Japanese actually land an invasion force on Midway so you would see some land battles there. If it got to that point, I imagine Japan would be pretty much on their way to winning.

Guys,

@LHoffman:

Got my “shipped” tracking info today. Glad to know they are on the way. :-)

––I just received my tracking info, too. :-D
----Here they come, Wil. Check 'em out and let us know if there are any units you want to modify.
----And I hope Someone will post some unit pics once they receive them.

Here is the Kaga carrier. HBG has put the ship class name on the bottom of the units :-D

TY for the pics Jabo. That is pretty sweet how they incorporated the name into the sculpt.

Imperious Leader

I bought 6 of these and got no tracking info… arrg

Pacific War

I ordered multiple sets the very first day these became available and still no tracking info here either. Hopefully Monday…. :-(

Cool pics Jabo. Man, HBG has outdone themselves AGAIN! I thought the “H” on the base of the infantry units was cool but now the logo and ship name on the bottom of the ships? That is just way cool. Do the other ships have this as well (Fuso Battleship, Ryujo Light Carrier) ?

IL, Pacific War. Don’t feel bad, no tracking info for me either. I figured it might take a few days. Remember the pics when they were shipped? A big ol’ bag just full of thousands of our pieces all jumbled together. Imagine what a task it must be for Coach and Variable to go through all those pieces sorting out each type and then counting them out into sets. Then they have to do it all 3 more times for each color. Very tedious. Kind of fun, but tedious.
