Would you like to see more news from manufacturers about models still on the workbench, or would you rather just hear about them when the figures are ready for sale?

Wip articles are very nice . We can encourage manufacturers so they don't leave certian items fall to the back burner. Or we can suggest changes so the don't produce a dog .

Yes
Ken Portner	07 Aug 2008 12:37 p.m. PST
Yes, yes, and yes again.
nycjadie	07 Aug 2008 12:45 p.m. PST
Never a bad thing.

Bill. I can do one on our upcomming line of N scale WWI, with pictures if you would like one. PM me with any suggested/desired format. Tom Dye GFI
Barmy Flutterz	07 Aug 2008 2:43 p.m. PST
definitely yes, that would be good
shelldrake	07 Aug 2008 3:13 p.m. PST
Yes – i love looking at future eye candy so i can plan what to get next :-)

Another vote in favour from me. It is so annoying when, as happened to me, you buy something that is not quite what you wanted but is the nearest to it, then find out a few weeks later that someone has brought out just the figure you were looking for. If you know it is on the workbench then you can wait and get better value for money.
IttyBitty	07 Aug 2008 4:10 p.m. PST
Yes, thanks!
Regrebnelle	07 Aug 2008 4:17 p.m. PST
Sounds like a good thing.

It is always nice to see what's coming and possibly plan around certain arrivals.

I think its a good idea for other manufacturers too. No point in devoting a huge amount of time in research,sculpting and production if your one of 8 outfits planning on releasing the same range
Wargamer Blue	08 Aug 2008 5:29 a.m. PST
big yes from me
TredHedJon	08 Aug 2008 5:58 a.m. PST
I will jump on the bandwagon and say "Big yes from me too" =)
elcid1099	08 Aug 2008 10:04 a.m. PST
Yes. Always enjoy the workbench scoops.
Quebecnordiques	10 Aug 2008 9:49 a.m. PST
Yes, definitely.

NO! I'm interested in what my fellow gamers are doing. Manufacturers can go to the relevant boards to hock their wares. Rich (the impassioned)
