Wow… I can’t believe how impatient some of you are… the Paneuropean plastics only came out 9 years ago… I’m still painting them.

I’ve been waiting about 40 years for plastic Ogre miniatures. I’ll wait a bit longer.

I’m kidding about the impatience thing, by the way.

You've got about 3000 plastic minis - are you going to get painting anytime soon???

Wow dude to not play the game just cause all the minis are not the right unit means no would have ever played a full version of OGRE minis at all. When they originally came out in the 90s (or whenever) you bought what you could find and got some action. And what about the OGREs? They rarely made faction specific Ogres, you just painted to match your army so you could wear it out and have fun, not cry over not having the right minis. This ain't Warhammer mate. But if you want to make your self really crazy look at our (in your opinion)mish mashed units in our clubs blog posts under Batrep 13(and others before it) on the OGRE/GEV page for some really mixed up armies. Wonder if modern Ukrainians worry that they don't have the right units when they repurpose a captured Russian armor unit? Wait, no I don't.

I wish it was possible. Numbers, as well as gamer willingness to spend what it would cost, show otherwise. We do the best we can and we would love nothing more than to reduce the costs -- time and money -- of freight. Unfortunately, the audience isn't willing to spend three to five times the current MSRP.

We often look at options and will keep looking at the possibilities.

I'm up to my hoverfans in Set 1 minis, painted and partially painted in many different colours, and patiently riding out the wait.

Still hoping for buckets of Mk.Is and Mk.IIs someday. But in the meanwhile, still pretty wealthy in proxies that I kitbashed.

Phil, have option possibilities for independent release of the Mk.I and Mk.II been considered?

That won't work with the way the factory has designed the molds for the project.

Car Wars is getting stls. Just sell us Ogre files, and we'll worry about shipping and production costs.

We are way, way too far down the path to turn around now. The investment to date on set four is immense. I don't think everyone understands how big of a risk these projects can become.
