Just had a look at Conte's site and they've got some close up shots of the plastic Spartans. Hopefully won't be too long now...

Much as I love Conte I have come to accept that when they say ready by Christmas you must ask which Christmas

At OTSN he was saving November, no he didn't specify which year. Apparently it wasn't November 2007.

They look worth the wait!
Paint brush at the ready.

When the heck are these gonna get here?????

 

[Wraith]

There's 10,000 immortal Persians who are holding them up a little

Hopefully, very soon.

Hopefully before the Cubs win a world series, it's been a 100 years.

These promise to be truly great. Is anyone a Collecter Club member and if so does that direct email access offer any better informaton on the schedule? Am I right in assuming that you can't even pre-order these yet?

Can't order what does not exist

 

[eborris]

I think you probably can, doesn't he usually accept pre-orders?

Of course if this was possible and you ordered them at OTSN it would be 7 months and counting.

 

[kilted vampire]

More to my point is why would one considering the interminable wait? When did we first see these pics?

 

[eborris]

Shortly after OTSN there was a show somewhere out east and these pictures were taken then , at that time the projected release date was early 2008. I think we have passed early 2008.

Passed it like it was standing still. Like gas through a funnel and eggs through a hen.

I have a couple more, but I'm afraid they would result in a warning or suspension for me so I will take the high road and refrain.

I predict they will available at OTSN.

Why would they do any such thing??? Please post what else you have, we will take the crumbs for now.

Man O man where are the Spartans....I promised my boy back in Decemeber I would get them for him and they still have not arrived. Everyday my son asks if they are in yet and everyday for the last 5 months I have to tell him no. I'm starting to think they'll never arrive. I wish there would be a new announcement as to the exact date they are expected to ship because I can't take much more of the constant nagging from my boy. I am just as eager to see what they look like but my patience is wearing thin. Maybe the announcement should have been made for the end of 08 beginning of 09. Regardless if it be tomorrow or next year I will be one of the 1st ones lined up to get'em cause a father never breaks a promise.

Oh I am sorry to hear of the disappointment this has caused. I share your feelings. I quess this is just one of those things. Conte has pushed the Del Prado plague on himself with this one. There is no excuse for this. I would be furious if I had paid in advance.

 

[eborris]

Seems to me from an earlier post on his site, (since removed) that he knew the shipping dates of the Spartans although the date itself was never announced. I would sincerely be surprised if we saw the plastic Spartans before OTSN. One can only hope that I am wrong.

 

[Spitfrnd]

I sure hope you are wrong as well. There has as yet been no pre-order opportunity on these has there?
