Wings of War series 5 miniatures

**Aero825** · 01-15-2011 05:09

Originaly, I thought I wouldn't like these early planes, but those new picks got me hooked!

**Chisco** · 01-15-2011 08:01

Arrival in march, april? later?

**Oberst Hajj** · 01-15-2011 14:20

The official release date is "When they come out"

**Dom S** · 01-15-2011 14:39

Yep, and when there *is* an official release date, the reality will still be "when they come out"....

**Chisco** · 01-16-2011 03:31

still waiting...

**Bluedevil** · 01-16-2011 04:29

Aren't we all?!

**tonyc206** · 01-16-2011 04:45

My money is on; "you'll be lucky if they come out this side of xmas"

**Boney10** · 01-16-2011 04:48

Ah but which Xmas

**Diamondback** · 01-16-2011 05:19

It's probably on the "Blizzard Entertainment Calendar", which means take your Worst-Case Scenario estimate short of "CANCEL" and triple it... (think StarCraft II development timeline)

LOL!! Isn't that too true...my money is that they'll be out before the DoW 3 series...March ' ish of '11

**jbmacek** · 01-19-2011 17:27

I could really use those early planes for the first scenario I have worked up for our big game on Saturday. Alas... we'll just have to use the cards.

**Nipotra Paul** · 01-25-2011 03:52

I have already seen the miniatures of the prototypes of the Caproni Ca3 and of the Gotha
Paolo

**Shiraz68** · 01-25-2011 08:11

Now I really would like to know when the Caproni & Gotha are coming out - but I have a feeling I already know the answer LOL

hey! what did u get in the deluxe edition?

**Oberst Hajj** · 02-09-2011 01:27

Just added the preview artwork for the DH.2 to the first post.

**jbmacek** · 02-09-2011 02:07

Looking good! But I still may buy a Reviresco.

**Boney10** · 02-09-2011 03:29

Getting Series 5 reminds me of a song..." one Day over the rainbow ..........."

**MayorJim** · 02-09-2011 13:01

Per Andrea on BGG today 2/9/11; "Deadlines have been published today at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/wow_nexus/ by Domskeleton, quoting the WoW official site:
http://www.wingsofwar.it
June for the bombers, and after that the Series 5." here's the link: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/.../skytrex-gotha

So...looks like sometime after June 2011...but no bets on that! ;-0

**David Manley** · 02-09-2011 14:07

I reckon if you put aside the money for a set of Series V models in a decent bank account, the intrest accrued before they are released would pay for a Gotha

**MayorJim** · 02-09-2011 14:28

LOL!!! David, you make a great point...add in putting aside a few pennies for the boosters, and DoW sets coming out and you might be able to purchase a REAL Gotha...museum quality (or at least the fuel to run it) ;-)

**Diamondback** · 02-09-2011 14:58

Stop thinking small... a Staaken, if you invested right (and that's still going with "conservative" investments)! Or even a fully functional reconstruction of L59...

**The Red Baron** · 02-10-2011 10:54

Wish they could get them out faster and I wholeheartedly agree with making McCudden's plane.

Keith,
Thanks for the updated pics...the Airco DH-2 might become my favorite...great field of fire there!

**Dom S** · 02-13-2011 13:03

Bear in mind DH2 pilots did know it not altogether affectionately as the Spinning Incinerator....

. Against Eindekkers it was pretty lethal, but after that it was rather badly outclassed. Fun looking thing though; pusher and booms does make for a quaint looking thing, and not so ungainly as the Fee.

**greenalfonzo** · 07-20-2011 14:19

I'm bumping this because I think that it's about time we see the rest of the artwork/schemes/pilots for the entire series! What's the hold up? Has there really been this little news since Feb.?

Supposedly they're coming, now, in September. That's the rumor. But, we're past the bombers release of June...still no bombers. However, they keep stringing this along, how far back does this thread go? Right, I'll believe them when I see them out and on the shelves! No more BS!!

September?!? And yet not even any artwork for the halberstadt at all? I'm with you on believing it when I see it!

**Mike George** · 07-20-2011 18:05

I going to get the complete set.

**Oberst Hajj** · 07-20-2011 22:10

No, Series 5 is not supposed to be out in Sept. We currently have no set or probable release date for Series 5. The only new planes we are supposed to get before the end of the year are the Bombers. Series one reprint/new versions should be here in Sept.

**flyingryno** · 07-30-2011 23:16

Looking Good!! Now to start with earlier Waves. I got a lot of catching up to do. Wave 5? Right now I got 0 minis.

**Diamondback** · 07-30-2011 23:17

We don't even know there's gonna be a Series 5 this year with Nexus doin' the House Of Cards thing...

**Dorb** · 08-14-2011 09:40

Gotta stay the course. Fingers crossed.

**batesyboy** · 08-14-2011 10:47

The early bird releases could prove to be the most popular series of all !
I already have a card model Be2c available on here... Check out `Be2c Freebie !!!` entry #17 for the link
I have an Fe2b, Halberstadt D2, RAF FE8, and three DH2`s and an eindecker, ready for their arrival....
now back to waiting !

Ooops almost forgot the Gunbus !

**Naharaht** · 08-14-2011 16:53

You have a good collection there, Lee.

**petitbilbo** · 08-15-2011 00:23

What's the small orange thingie in the middle?

**va beach ace** · 08-15-2011 05:10

okay a stupid question, are these planes still gonna be released to buy? right? and after reading I can guess not in the near future? so another question is there a good place to buy other models of these planes?
bob

**mtyree1972** · 08-15-2011 05:23

I would expect yes, assuming all the information is accurate, these will be released. Now when, that's an entirely different question. I would say delayed, and that's the best guess. I wouldn't have the foggiest idea when they might hit. As for minis from elsewhere, I believe Reviresco and Skytrex both carry them. I personally have no experience with either line, but many people here do.

**va beach ace** · 08-15-2011 06:55

thanks, I really love these planes, I buy them when ever I run across them. so if we do get new one GREAT

Here is a Skytrex DH2, they also do the Fokker EIII & Moraine

Reviresco also do a DH2 & EIII and a Halberstadt, not sure about the Moraine

Oh, where did you find him. I'm guessing a cereal box (I think I remember them being there back in the 60s).

I don't suppose you have it on file, and might want to share?
Be interesting to come up with stats. esp since they didn't use MGs (if I remember the cartoon right). Or at least not much of the time.
Karl

**macka321** · 08-15-2011 16:29

Karl I think they used just about everything including MG's trying to stop that pigeon.
The stats for tennis raquetts and nets will be interesting.

Anvils are traditional for Warner and Hanabarbera (sic) both.
