"wings of war series 4" Topic

does anyone know what the updated status is of the next ww1 wings of war minis .. i believe it would be set # 4. i have read on other threads that #4 was coming out october and set #5 would be january of 2010.

set 5 was to have early war stuff such as eindeckers, dh2s, moraine bullets, etc
what will be in set 4 and when will it be released???

In short I don't think anybody knows yet. Presumably suppliers like Dom et al will know first and pass on the news. For now though I guess we just have to wait. From what I have learnt and given that S1 WW2 hasn't been out that long I'm now not expecting to see the balloon this year let alone S4. I'll have a guess based on previous schedules and say: Balloon early/mid 2010. S4 mid/late 2010 and S5 late 2011 but your guess is as good as mine.

In the meantime I plan a few more repaints of S1.

Nothing's been announced recently, but set 4 is due to be SE5a, Rumpler C.IV, Breguet XIV, Pfalz D.III. The early war items are due to be set 5, but I don't think have been confirmed via "official" channels at were (I seem to recall it was DH.2, Morane N, Halberstadt D.II and Fokker E.III.) For dates, way back in February a release schedule was published which gave Series 4 as "end of year" – afaik releases have generally been behind schedule, so I'd expect later. Series 5 has never had a release date announced, but the balloon buster set (Nieuport XVI and balloon) was due to be September. Timmo's guesses on actual etas look pretty good to me.

PS – In the UK at least, retailers don't get much advanced info – I'm pretty sure the WW2 release was announced on the Yahoo group before the UK distributor emailed about it.

I have a big set of about 30+ Sram ww1 that I didn't really have time to build. Was thinking about maybe eBaying them. Womder what they are worth? I would rather repaint the WOW stuff and F-toys. I heard they are doing a second ww1 set of Biplanes. Bombers and then another set of fighters.

WoW already have three series out. Series four will probably be out during 2010 and is a mix of scouts and two seaters. Series five is expected to be early war types.

Other topics here have more precise details.

Have a look at this…

Also on the same site check out the balloon videos.

It occurs to me that this is going to be a very one sided release in demand terms.

I would hope that the manufacturers are gearing up for huge numbers of SE5a sales, compared to the other planes.

My sense is that there's a pent up demand of some considerable proportions from those who have not used kit builds for SE5's to date.

I think your about right there. I think there's nearly the same level of demand for the Brisfit as well. But I think we'll be waiting 2 years plus for that.
