Summer has passed and no news! waaaaaa

They must be having some major production issues with this batch.

Apocalyptic issues I'd say.

Guys, you have to realize that Marauder John does this in his spare time out of love for the hobby. When you don't have the resources of a Hasbro things take a lot longer than you'd want. I'm sure John and his crew of Gun-Runners are working diligently to get this new wave ready to go as soon as possible. Just be patient and I'm sure it will be totally worth the wait. Isn't it always?

A crew of hobby enthusiasts? Heh, got an image of a hardcore RC racer using his kids as a pit crew to change the tiny tires, etc.

Anyway yeah, delays seem to happen to everyone eventually, especially when it's good product that people want.

Hey Folks!
If I had a week...still wouldn't be enough time to explain all the issues & problems that continue to delay Marauder Series #6!

We had originally planned for summer 2010...but sorry to say it looks more like spring 2011. And to add insult to injury the series (even if we finally get the "green light" TODAY) still has NO chance of being ready for the GI Joe convention since it is NOW in March instead of the regular mid to late summer date.


Thanks again for your CONTINUED support and will post the list of items that make the "final cut" as soon as possible (ALL came from YOUR suggestions!).

MJ

Well, for my part, it's anticipation more than impatience. Marauder stuff is just too good, and those manilla envelopes (when I don't buy so much it comes in a box) are just too exciting when I pull one out of the mailbox for me not to want them right now!

Spring? . . . Does anyone remember the South Park where Cartman wants to put himself in cryonic suspension because he can't wait for the Wii to come out? No reason, just curiousity I swear, but how safe does everyone think that is--on a scale of one to ten?

Oh well, I guess I'll put in that order for some clear stands sooner rather than later, maybe pick up the new minigun and some diorama pieces. And I need to buy Halo: Reach next week, so that will be both expensive and distracting. It's too bad we don't know what to expect in Wave 6, because I feel like starting the wish list for Wave 7.

Anyway, thanks John and everyone at Marauder for making product that kicks more ass than Hasbro's stuff.

Edit: Oh and I should also point out the attitude of you and your staff is equal to your excellent product and is equally appreciated. Thanks again, and don't worry . . . I guess I can wait.

Cant wait to see what you have planned John. I cant imagine the headaches you have producing this stuff not to mention the thousands of dollars that you invest (i dont know how you manage it!!) whatever you do i will buy it though!!

Spring 2011 is cool i need a load more of your ids stands still so can fit in a few more orders in before then!

ps loveing the custom weapons that you are doing and the new value sets like the new army builder set are very good value!


thanks John!

Thanks for the update MJ.

You know, you may not have time now, but I think alot of us would be interested in hearing how the process of making toys and getting them into our twitchy little fingers works. Including the bumps and hurdles.

Any updates? any pics of prototypes? has the list been finalized? I can't wait to find out what's in store for us. Wave 5 was (and still is) so spot on amazing, i can't wait to see how you'll outdo your self this time.
by the by, if the list isn't finalized, please please please make a Bushmaster ACR. If it is finalized, then please please please make a Bushmaster ACR in wave 7! Also, not sure if it would possible to do, but modular combat vests would be the bees knees. Kind of like the vest and armor that came with the pit commando, but with interchangeable pouches, holsters, grenades, etc.
Keep up the amazing work!

I'd like to see Beretta m 93 in wave 6.
I'm a great fan of Marauderincs' weapons and I paint them, see my collection: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/browsei ... geuser=444 !

I don't know if anyone has been by the site, but check out the New Arrivals at Marauder for some variant versions of older weapons. Some of the handguns and a few other weapons have been modified to attach silencers, and some weapons like the NCM are now being produced with scopes attached.

Yea he's mentioned it in the Sponsers section with links to his facebook page with more pics. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=27036 there
