I expected there to be some type of delay, I'd rather it take time and be done right, than be rushed and have corners cut.

With long-term projects like these with so many production and distribution logistics to work out, in combination with a relatively small development team, it is next to impossible to predict a release date at the start of a kickstarter.

I have full confidence in marauder, they have an impressive product history for their size. Personally, I have never been let down by their products or customer service. I think we will all be pleased with the outcome in the coming month(s).
it be like dat

I agree with AJ. If I've learned anything it's how hard this is and how timelines are best laid plans but subject to reality and I'm doing no where near the scale that MJ and his crew are attempting. There is risk in everything, but hopefully their excellent track record to date speaks for itself. My only request would be that they post some more updates with photos given how close we are to the most recent proposed release date. Can't wait.

There are many listings under a few different people. I expected nothing less than a few mercenaries trying that. That's why I did the search. I searched "Marauder task Force' under "newly listed" and screens full of them popped up. Personally, I don't see anything worth $35 like in some of the listings much less $65 :shock:. Those who wanted them were wise to get them how they did.

A few quick pics of my Marauder Task Force WWII Russian figures. I also got the British troops, but haven’t put them together yet. I will need to get examples of the USMC, US Army, German, and Japanese figures eventually. The MTF WWII figures are very nice through and through 8)
