The pics and latest news:

Point form will be easiest:

- These are just a SAMPLE of pictures of the upcoming Large Martin, Damn Large Martin, and RPG Bramble WWRp bots. Not all the colourways are shown yet.

- Some of these pictured will be sold at Bambaland as part of their three pack sets in a couple of days. Some of these will be sold as singles at e-tail/retail only. Three A hasn't decided what assortment for what colourways yet, but the three packs will have one Large Martin, one Damn Large Martin, and one RPG Bramble.

- The RPG Brambles will not be sold at e-tail/retail outlets. It will be part of a Bambaland exclusive three pack only.

- There will be three different three packs available. My understanding is that each three pack will be totally different so there is a total of three different colourways for each type of robot.

- If you're planning on buying all the colourways, there will be a 3X3 pack (or nine pack) which will have all the colourways, will probably be cheaper, and will also come with a WWRp scale (1/12) Blanc de Plume figure. The original 1/6 Blanc de Plume figure was one of those gift figures that you couldn't buy. You had to receive it as a prize or a gift from Ash. This 3X3 pack is supposed to be rare, but I have a feeling if you really want it, you'll be able to score as long as you try to order one as soon as it launches. It won't matter if you're 3AA, Ash has decided this 3X3 set is going to be one of those 'special sales' open to all.

- The plain looking bots DO NOT HAVE THEIR DECALS yet. Rest assured Mr. Ash Wood is gonna design them and the final product will look kick ass. And no, I don't work for Three A and they don't know we exist in our happy little corner of the Web. emoticon

- There will be a fourth set for 3AA, Night Watch and Day Watch Large Martin plus a Do It Yourself Damn Large Martin.

Disclaimer: All that !@#$ I just typed could be subject to change at any given moment as Three A figures things out. lolz


My thoughts:

I am very likely going to be picking up one single set of the regular colourways (if any at all), and I'll prolly aim for the set that has the Sand Devil colourway. As it will be $130 less my 15% 3AA discount, it is very much worth it.

I don't know how much the 3AA set is going to cost, but if it's the same price, it's prolly not as worth it as I think less work will be going into the paint of the DayWatch and NightWatch (no weathering, just one flat colour) and you're getting only two painted bots as the third bot is a DIY.

Anyone else getting a set of these bad boys?

Re: WWRp Large Martin


I swore I wouldnt be getting any of these. LM is actually my least favourite design. I have a 1/6th version but I would love a Big Red. Hmmmm. I hope I can hold off and not buy anything this Friday.

Re: WWRp Large Martin


man, I'm soooo annoyed with this release - first of all, I don't really want ANY WWRp robots - but I do want the human blanc de plume, which means I have to get NINE robots I don't want just to get de plume...

How much do you think I can sell the LM's for individually??? That's alot of f**ng posting to do... maybe I can use the profits to buy the full size Large Martin and Bertie that I want.

Even worse, the only 1/12 LM I would want at all is the Big Red version. But of course, he's not included in the NINE pack, but only in the secret drops of THREE THREE packs of other variations that will surprise drop - gaaah....

Really thinking about getting the 9 pack just to sell it and keep the de Plume figure.

These are 10" robots right?

Oh yeah, and remember that discussion we had about the logic of selling big packs? I tried having that discussion on the 3A forum, but Ashley Wood got pissed and shut it down! Insists he just does everything for fun. I'm sure it's fun, but they still have to break even at least!

http://3atoys.hyperboards.com/index.php?action=view_topic&topic_id=2977

Oh well, not the most open environment for discussion over there, but it is alot of fun nonetheless.

lolz, Johnny H!

Dude, you a 3AA member? If you are don't even worry about the Blanc figure as you're going to get the original Nom de Plume. Blanc is cool, but it isn't worth the hassle of posting nine bots on eBay and hoping they sell.

As for threads shutting down, he's human like us all with feelings and the thread was prolly making him feel a bit uncomfortable. I've seen him shut other threads down before in the past that I didn't 100% agree with. Regardless, it's Mr.Wood's board, talking about his stuff, not a 'neutral' discussion board like ours.

No place like home!

Re: WWRp Large Martin


Yeah, I can relate, but I think he's too touchy - gets insulted by things that aren't disparaging or anything, but whatever, it's his board. Can always complain here!

I am 3AA, but I don't care about the regular nom and will most likely be selling him or trading him. Much more interested in the Blanc!

Re: WWRp Large Martin


Speaking of complaining... emoticon

More surprise sales coming to drive everyone batshit crazy!!!

1) "Under the bed, Red" WWRp set
1x Big Red Large Martin
1x Big Red Damn Large martin
1x Kruschev Memorial Guard RPG Bramble
1x Kruschev Memorial Guard MK2 Bertie with sabre
1x Kruschev Memorial Guard mini Square"

2) "Frosty Choad Corp" WWRp set
1x Deep Powder Large Martin
1X Deep Powder Damn Large Martin
1x Deep Powder RPG Bramble
1x Deep Powder MK2 Bertie with shotgun
1x Deep Powder mini Square


When will these drop? Your guess is as good as mine, but prolly random time after the initial sale! Or possible that they will announce the time just before, like Jung De Plume.

Wishing you good luck if you hope to score one of these sets!

Re: WWRp Large Martin


I did my part and got "C."

It seems to me that folks aren't as excited about the Large Martin WWRp sets as much as the 1/6 figures. The limited 3X3 sets are still available even now, nearly 6 hours later.

Personally, I'm happy to get at least one of each bot in a 1/12 scale.

The Surprise sets were sold out, they were apparently $170/set.
