[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9334342, member: 7040132"] There it is. Just insult people. What is this "gimme what I want sooner than you can deliver it, or I'll drag you and call you incompetent" subculture? That tells a lot more about the person than the company. You're better than that. Maybe it's working as intended? Maybe the book planning and design timeline is different than minis design timeline, and one has to happen [I]before[/I] the other. Designers needs a bit of time to finalize what is going to be in the book, including the art that will inspire the minis, before that gets passed along to 3rd parties for tie-ins and marketing. WizKids still has to 3D model and design the minis and then forge them. If they are able to finalize the book stuff 6 months earlier, the books will be printed, sitting, not being sold, waiting for the minis to catch up, so they can be released at the same time. Letting product sit for months is terrible business. Storage space costs money. * I'm just using the 6-month timeline because someone else used it. I don't know if it is, or even what is, the real normal time difference between books/minis releases these days. [/QUOTE]
