Lots of reading today , so please bear with me.

This place is threeA home and been second home for many of us for several years. It's not usual discussion board, there is no rage here, we do our best to keep positive spirit of the place and put emphasis on mutual respect in all interactions between boardies.  We welcome constructive criticism and always open to hear your opinions about threeA figures. Like every home, this forum has rules which need to be followed.

Based on many new boardies joining and 'cause some didn't really understand our basic guidelines, we decided to write a thorough public warning, which feature detail explanation about what is welcomed and not welcomed here.

Please read it:

PUBLIC WARNING

This is 3A's official public message regarding attitudes on the 3A Forums.
Anyone who chooses to challenge this will have their account suspended.

Buying 3A toys does not entitle anyone to bring a bad attitude about 3A, our staff, or other members on our forums.
All 3A fans are welcome equally, whether they have zero toys or all of them, to join our forums and discuss art and toys.

Your opinions are welcome and we gladly ask people to join us and express theirs, but we always ask that it's presented in a positive and respectful attitude and manner.
Customers with real issues have been given a channel to voice their complaints and that channel is cs@threeaonline.com

These forums are for having fun, sharing photos of your toys, and making friends, and it is our job to ensure 3A Forums consists of a positive community for our fans to congregate.
If you don't like it here and don't like that we don't want bad attitudes here, you are free to leave.  This has been the way since the beginning; this rule has never been up for debate and never will be.

3A Forums is not a venting ground.

This main rule was voiced by Ash upon the creation of 3A Forums in 2008 and nothing changed:
http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=24.0

If you think this board isn't to your liking, leave.
Blind following of Ashley Wood or 3A isn't required to be part of this forum, there are many boards to bag on them out there, leave and use them.
Need to discuss these things, leave.
Enjoy toys and art, stay

If any board member is having trouble with a CS response, or with any part of this board, they should feel free to contact one of the Forum Moderator staff members.
They are all here to help.

I strongly suggest to read other board guidelines and FAQs, which are located here.







Now let's speak about official sources of 3A information and in case you don't know that, here is the list:

www.threeaonline.com

www.threeaonline.com/blog

http://hkv2.blogspot.com/ – easy and simple, for Re-Venture news

www.facebook.com/3AVOX

www.twitter.com/3Asupport

And of course 3AVOX – one and only threeA official newsletter and voice of Ashley Wood.





A bit of an explanation about 3AVOX on Facebook:
Addressing some issues with 3aVOX on FB (nothing to do with 3AVOX newsletter, which isn't cancelled).
Please don't confuse 3AVOX newsletter and 3aVOX on Facebook, nobody is cancelling 3AVOX newsletter.
Ashley Wood and I , came up with new strategy and name for threeA home on Facebook and it's going to be 3AVOX. Basically it will be same fun ThreeA page we had running for one year, but it will feature occasional exclusive info/pics, which will be shown there first, as we want to show some love to Facebook users and keep them involved!/i]

Exactly the case, when one photo is better than thousand words: AK Retail JungleVet Ankou by George Chu (red eye is photoshopped)

Ashley answering for a 2nd time on a question, why there is no VOX:

As mentioned before,VOX will appear when they do, with 3A general and Venture we are at full tilt and time and man power to make the VOX just isnt there, next week will see one though with a focus on Venture swag and Ambush etc.

Shipping times and other pertinent info will be posted here at the blog ( which you should see as our main outpost for info ), and facebook etc. Dont worry contest types, new art and photo winners will be posted here when not in VOX.

For the WWRp fans, Desert MK3 Cannon will go onsale monday exclusively at Bambaland, for how long who knows, Desert shotgun is coming down soon !

To summarize information about WWRp MK3 Berties and to share this cool photo of Daywatch Bertie:

If you know me or reading this column  for a while, you are aware how I love and adore Daywatch colorway in general. I have a warm spot for others colorways, which are dirty and have layers of weathering on them, but still Daywatch holds a place in my heart, like first love.

New MK3 Berties gonna go up at Bambalandstore soon and Mode A (shotgun) Desert Sand Devil Bertie will leave the store soon (so perhaps today is the right moment to buy it - 70$ with shipping included) and give a spotlight to Desert Sand Devil Bertie Mode B (cannons).

WWRp MK3 Berties, which were already offered at the store and sold out are: JEA, NW and Deep Powder Mode A (shotgun):

Ashley Wood Gallery newsletter (click here to read it)

Welcome to what is the third newsletter, but you can call what you want !

We have a new print going up today, the first batch of Lady Sham Stroll , yup we don't offer any pre order times, or whatnot like most others, that's just the way the Ashley Wood gallery is. Also please remember one per customer or your order will canceled!

Ash and I were crashed out on the sofa late the other night after a monster day of packaging, (we have not one but two exhibitions on this year), and packaging this time has been some kind of marathon, (this is just for Hong Kong Re-Venture…)  But you’ll never hear us complain about how much work everything takes because every day of our lives we are acutely aware of just how bloody lucky we are. The support that Ash gets as an artist and creator, (that we both get as creative people in general), is just amazing and we never ever take that for granted. So, let me take a moment also to thank all of you once again, not just for this year or how you supported us last year, but for all the years we’ve been going and all the years we still have to come.

People write to us often and express how much happiness they get from everything that we do, whether it’s books, art, toys or prints but likewise, (and maybe we don’t get to say this enough), we also get to have the enjoyment of creating new things for all of you too. So thank you, thank you!

This week sees the release of another print, the organization and work that goes into each release is pretty full on. Our house from the outside looks insane to those who know us, the art biz runs 24/7, (literally because we deal with so many time zones there’s always something going on somewhere.) Those who occasionally get a look in at the cacophony wonder how the heck do we do it but when you’re in it, it’s like standing in the eye of the storm, you don’t notice that there’s a hurricane is going on, but what a hurricane it is!

The prints are probably the most personal and cottage industry style thing that we now do, and we do it because we love it. We like the craftsmanship of it, we like the intimate nature of it, so do stick with us throughout 2012 and beyond because there’s lots more coming up.

LADY SHAM STROLL - 50" x 17" print, 50 editions $220aud. first batch is sold out - and there will be more tomorrow

Thanks guys !

Some of 1:1 kitties, who will say "MEOWW" at Re-Venture:

One of three books premiering at Re-Venture – Raw Fuck it

Bertie GID is back to Bambaland, might be gone any minute.
So please keep watching the store and best of luck!

Looking for talented sculptors
HEY SCULPTORS
3A is looking for super talented sculptors to help with a small toy soldier type project, if you can sculpt small drop us a line at:
3awa@threeaonline.com

Guys, please understand one thing. I don't know when GID is going to be up next, as each surprise release - is a mystery. But as long, as there is no word from Ashley that they are sold out, there is always a chance.
It's breathtaking to see such a tremendous support, but please don't go bitter about not scoring GID Bertie after countless tires.
Cart-jacking - can be extremely annoying and I certainly can relate to that, but that's what happens, when you have - let's say five Berties in the store and fifty people, who are putting it into the cart at the same time and someone is just a portion of a second faster during checkout or other actions.
I really wish best of luck to each and everyone, who is hunting for GID Bertie.
Cheers!

Re-Venture, 3A returns to its original art and toy show, first seen in 2009! 2009's Venture is one of the most memorable event in 3A's history, a gathering of like minded minded people that loved art and toys. From displaying works by Jeremy Geddes, Kenny Wong and Ashley Wood, to the amazing people that traveled from around the world, it was truly a memorable and much loved time.

In 2009 ThreeA brought you Venture, a unique and very special event for people who love art, pop culture and toys.  We brought you the very latest in ThreeA toys, sculpture and design, alongside the art works of such renown modern artists as Jeremy Geddes, Kenny Wong and Ashley Wood.

(Price lists for artworks listed for sale will appear on the ThreeA blog prior to the show’s opening night).

The team at ThreeA have been working around the clock to bring you a show that celebrates art, toys and friendship. We invite you all to come and see our newly remodeled gallery and HQ, to catch up with old friends and new. Our very latest toys and future designs will be on full display, we will also be featuring a new line up of art books, goodies and take home merchandise that you won’t want to miss. Meet and greet Three Zero, Benny, Lok and the whole crew from ThreeA.

Re-Venture will also feature several new book debuts; William Wray’s “Cult of Beauty” and Ashley Wood’s “Raw Fuck It” and Fuck It #4. We will also be previewing Rufus Dayglo’s comic book series “Solid Gold Death Mask”, a new series soon to be published by ThreeA.

This place (link is bellow) ain't typical F&F bar, I'm just placing it there for more people to see, as it's convenient for people to have a thread, where they can ask about pre-sale and be quickly noticed. I know that a lot of you want these exclusives and can't go to the event, but please let's keep this thread emo free and don't forget that there will be after the show allotment at Bambalandstore!

http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=2628.0

3AA Re-Venture exclusives pre-sale starts in less than hour from now at www.bambalandstore.com , on April 10th, 9:00 AM HK time. All the rules are posted above (09.04 news).

And it's sold-out.

Pics from the store, featuring 1/6th scale Nabler for a first time:

This goes to: every 3AA member, who is going to Re-Venture and who bought set A or set B and willing to have a full set (since set C was sold first, followed by set A) , please put your nickname in this list and send me your Bambalandstore login email via personal message (please don't post it on the board, as we don't want your personal details to be stolen). 3A CS will go through recycled orders in next couple of days and will contact you on RANDOM BASIS (to make it honest), if there will be any. There is no GUARANTEE that there will be any recycled sets, but this way you have a chance.

And of course, you can hunt for missing set/figures during Re-Venture itself, as only double figures aren't allowed.

Answers on some questions:
1) you will be able to choose t-shirt size at the time of picking up your order
2) 3A will send emails to people who made their order within first 100 orders , next week , as these people qualify to visit invitation night on April 27th.

Sorry for lots of Re-Venture news lately, might be a bit painful to read for people, who aren't able to come...I will keep my fingers crossed for more threeA shows in future and that everyone, who wants to score Re-Venture Exclusive figures, will walk away home with them, after Bambalandstore sale happens (date is to be determined).

There seem to be a slight misunderstanding with t-shirt quantity , if you ordered set C , during 3AA pre-sale of Re-Venture exclusives.
Set C comes with one t-shirt.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this misunderstanding.
If you want more than one of the t-shirt designs, you can buy the other two (as there are three variants) when you pick up your Bambaland purchase.

Latest from Ashley's blog:
Levine
In October, with my bud Jeremy Geddes we will be doing a joint show the Jonathan LeVine Gallery, the actual dates escape me. I guess im kinda excited about it, the first time I have a exhibited a singular vision, a collection etc..
Just wanted to say, was thinking about it this morning...

Levine dates:

October 20 - November 17 2012

Fuck it #4 sale is approaching: this week at Bambalandstore - $35usd, 56 pages, price includes shipping, amounts are limited!

Real Steel: Ambush stands 42cms tall and will be up for pre-order on April 17th, 9:00AM Hong - Kong time at www.bambalandstore.com
Price : 290$ and if you buy it from Bambaland, it comes with 1/6h scale exclusive bot controller.

LUX3A Caesar shipping update:

Please make plenty of photos and enjoy your Caesar!

To avoid any confusion or conflict at Re-Venture: if you pre-ordered sets during 3AA pre-sale, you can pick them up without long waiting in the line, but it doesn't give you the right to jump queue and try to buy something. Everyone will be equal and has to stand in the line with the purchase pass.

T-shirt : 200HKD / 160HKD (price for 3AA members)

Message from Ashley Wood and Kim Fung Wong:

Hi ” I am Kim of ThreeA. I am here today is to thank you sincerely for all your support of ThreeA since the first toys we made. Ashley and I never be expect we can gain these much support from you all. We here at ThreeA are doing all our best for our fans , we are working on production delays everyday and have placed many new systems to speed up production in the near future , the way we make toys is very labor intensive and we have had to delay toys to make sure they are as good we can make them. But please do not doubt interest to make good toys for your support. ”

Hi, Ash here, I also want to convey the same sentiment, our mission has never changed from day one, make great toys for you guys, we have never worried about making 3A a big company and churning crap on mass to bank or being popular with the cool toy guys.  Our toys are late, yup cant pretend or double step that, and actually I don’t want to, they are late because we are trying to make great stuff, it always seems to take longer than planned and every change or rework adds to the production time (I would rather have you pissed at us for waiting than some generic shit toy that could be made anywhere ) I know it sucks, i know it doesnt make it any easier to wait, but at least you know we give a shit! Kim is working very hard to fix these missives and soon the benefits of these will be seen in shorter turn arounds.

Oh yea The response to RE-Venture has been stealing and showed what great support we have AGAIN, this really gives us energy to keep doing what we are doing , thanks from both Kim and me!

please contact CS@threeaonline.com if you have concerns about your order from threeA

Friday the 13th, nothing horrible happening though.

Tomorrow at some time (there is no exact time announced, but I would start checking around regular time) , at Bambalandstore there will be a limited pre-order of three books by 3A publishing :
William Wray’s Cult of Beauty $35USD Shipped
Fuck It 4 by Ashley Wood $35USD Shipped
Raw Fuck It by Ashley Wood $50USD Shipped
Limited stocks, only available from Bambaland

New Totem teaser, I really enjoy the weathering:

We saw the same part of the figure, without the weathering earlier, I always loved weathering and rust on 3A figures, even though I'm huge fan of DW & NW glossy colorways as well:

News from Ashley's blog:
The Beautiful war
It was once the called Le Jardine, but over the years the story has evolved outside said garden. I think this could be our best work, and no robots ! I know, no robots, what the hell am I doing !
Out this year !

Please click here to read Lore: The movie news and you can discuss it , in this thread.

WWRp Caesar and 1.5 Square

And yes, we will see RIP 003 Caesar colorway in 1/12th scale as well!

One more thing:

I'm receiving so many question about bot controller and what it does.
Some even think that it has working LCD screen...
So just for the record, except being nice and thought through accessory , it actually does nothing.
Only Ambush orders from Bambalandstore (starting on April 17th, 9:00AM HK time) will come with one.

Real Steel: Ambush goes on sale in less than 24 hours from now, on April 17th, 9:00 AM Hong - Kong time and it's time to open F5 Bar! What is F5 Bar and Grill? It's a cool place, where we all hang out before the sale starts, sharing excitement, our thoughts and whatnot, and trying our best to stay on topic (we aren't always succeed though).
So, with F5 Bar going up Real Steel thread is reserved for Q&A about Ambush sale and reporting problems (bambalandstore issues and whatnot), all the other chatter must go in F5 bar.

Full reveal of Ambush:

Photos:

3A Ambush articulation video

Using the same data as the toy, to show some possible articulations..

Have fun in the bar, but don't forget basic rules and maintaining positive vibes of our beloved 3A board. Since F5 Bar during the sale is really crowded and grows like several pages in few minutes, all the essential sales info + sketches will be posted in the first opening post of the F5 thread. So before asking a question, please check the first page of the bar for answers. You can always PM me (or other MODs) if you some questions and you don't want to post them publicly.
Usually we don't allow interpretations of 3A/Ashley Wood or any other intellectual property and characters. But as our tradition goes only on sale nights, we are making an exception and looking forward to your sketches , featuring Ambush on them. I'll be putting them up here and in F5 Bar, later on they will be added to online gallery on imgur as well, with captions, so it will be seen who is the author of each sketch, which is always nice. If I missed your sketch, please never hesitate to contact me.

The bar is open , please check it out:
http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=2649.0

Price: 290 USD, with shipping included in the price and don't forget that Ambush stands 42cms (16.5") tall! 

Bambalandstore Ambush will come with EXCLUSIVE 1/6th scale bot controller (doesn't do anything, just a cool accessory). Ambush itself will be offered via retailers later on, but doesn't come with controller.


Small explanation about what Re-Venture purchase pass is:

It came to our attention that there is misunderstanding what Re-Venture purchase pass is, in reality it’s simple order form.

Some even started to spread rumors, that if you have it, then you are entitled to guaranteed purchase of exclusive figures at our show. In reality it doesn’t guarantee you anything,  think of it, as just a sort of menu with all the exclusives (and prices) on one list , where you need to mark what you want, while standing in the line  - basically it’s done to speed things up and to guarantee that you haven’t jumped the queue. As mentioned previously in the rules we posted, all Re-Venture exclusives are offered on first come – first served basis, so if something is already sold-out, it doesn’t matter whether you have it marked on your purchase pass.

Of course purchases passes aren’t required for 3AA Re-Venture pre-sale participants, who will be picking up their pre-orders, unless they want to buy something else at the show (they will have to queue in the line).

If you have any questions please re-read Re-Venture rules and information here and please keep following ThreeA Production blog and Re-Venture blog for more info.

First LUX3A release: Caesar landed at one of our boardies house. Here are the photos by chronokross, showing RIP 001, RIP 002 and Steve.

Ashley about Fuck it #4 and Fuck it: Raw reprints - which are coming next Thursday to Bambalandstore. They have different covers , but SAME content, as the ones which were put up last week. To remind you: Ashley didn't think that demand for books would be so big and they were quickly sold-out and to support buyers, he ordered to print another run.

FUCK IT 4r and RAW FUCKTr
On sale next Thursday Hong Kong Time! Only from Bambaland !
same contents, just different covers so the flippers cant fool anyone !

Real Steel: Ambush newsletter images and text, if you haven't received one earlier last week:

ThreeA is very proud to announce the sale of AMBUSH from the film REAL STEEL, Ambush is a 1/6th fully articulated ( SUPER ARTICULATED ACTUALLY ).

The Articulation on Ambush is second to none, with countless moving parts, that faithfully mimic all the articulation from the film version. From pistons to sliding biceps, all the details are there!  Ambush also features illuminated eyes for the low light photo op.

Real Steel: Ambush is gone from Bambalandstore. Thank you for your support during this sale! We can't wait to bring you Real Steel: Midas now! If you missed Ambush, he will be available via our retailers, suggested retail price: 330$ and he doesn't come with 1/6th scale bot controller (which was exclusive to Bambalandstore).

A shot surfaced in the internet, showing Ambush next to MGS REX and he is huge (MGS REX in his fully collapsed position).

I will post more shots from this series later on. Photos were taken at ThreeA HK office, by HK photographers/bloggers! There are photos of MGS REX , MIDAS and AMBUSH , eye candy stuff!

[Gimbat]

20.04

Lots of Real Steel: Ambush photos and MIDAS proto pics can be seen here and there are glimpses of MGS REX model as well.

Here are the selection of photos, I loved the most. Not sure if you noticed, but Ambush's mouth opens and there is a tremendous amount of little details, rust and weathering on this guy.

In case it somehow slipped your mind: Fuck it 4 and Fuck it: RAW reprints (same material - different covers) are going to up at Bambalandstore, on next Thursday: April 26th Hong Kong time. Only at Bambalandstore!

Another reminder:
If you are in United States (where we are using A-Sonic as our forwarder) and buying 3A products and not always can pick up stuff from FedEx, please read this information from 3A CS and Cody.
http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=2650.0

Basically here are the keypoints:
1) Starting from April 17th all 3A parcels should be held at FedEx location after 3 delivery attempts (earlier it was send back to 3A).
In addition, Ling (3A CS) offers this assistance:
2) If you know that you are not free to receive the parcels and must hold it on FedEx location for pick-up, when you place the orders OR before the parcels were shipped, you have two options:
(1) Write the address for the FedEx location closest to you and write “hold at location” in the text option field at Bambalandstore when placing your order
or (2) send 3ACS an eMail after every purchase containing your order number and include the above information for them to reference.

Here's additional information for how deliveries should work:

1.      FedEx will try to deliver 3 times, if consignee still not available, FedEx will leave pickup note on consignee’s door, consignee needs to pick his shipment up from nearest FedEx hub.
2.      FedEx hold the package in the hub 7 business days after three attempts, consignee must pick parcel up before due day or call FedEx hold to request extra days.
3.      Consignee can call FedEx directly & schedule a pick up at Fedex Hub.

From Ashley blog, explanation about his prints and good news that new hand colored and single edition prints, will be available at his gallery store next week: http://ashleywoodgallery.myshopify.com/
(usually no time is announced for that):

Re my prints and signatures
Please do not buy my prints if you don't like a real signature. I use a traditional pen with ink to create them, so they spit and scratch, that's actually great, not machine  like pencil stamps. So stay away from my shit if the old boring ways of the giclee is your thing! There are many people that would like them and dont get the chance.

I find there are many defacto rules when it comes to prints, and naturally i say fuck off to those, how to sign, how to make, what size of editions, ho to sell etc. I remember when the image mattered, not if the paper was pristine and the signature was compliant to giclee regulations.  how shit, how boring.

oh yea Im going to offer some hand colored and single editions prints over the following week. Im sure real signatures will abound!

First HALO teaser magically popped up and disappeared. I blame evil Nabler!

WWR Supreme NOM Commander photos - are coming tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. She goes on sale, on April 30th, 9:00AM Hong Kong time. This figure have been hinted first back in 2010 and I can't wait for it to be up for sale at Bambalandstore!

SOLID GOLD DEATH MASK by Rufus Dayglo and threeA : FAUX BRONZ 1/6th scale. I don't know yet, but I'm pretty sure that it's not for sale, just a teaser sculpt of what is coming in 1/6th scale to us soon! Sculpted by ThreeA, bringing Rufus ideas in 3D form.

Rufus Dayglo about it:
SOLID GOLD DEATH MASK....  Death Gods, Girls, Penguins, and  soggy rich tea biscuits....
This summer in partnership with threeA.

I'm very proud to unveil the first sculpt at reVENTURE bu the amazing threeA toys, in Hong Kong this weekend.

KNEEL on the 30th - 9:00 AM Hong Kong time: WWR Supreme NOM Commander sale! Which will feature two versions: standard and WHITEMOTHER 3AA exclusive.

Click on the images to read character's story.

I already got PMs from few people, who are concerned that breasts, might get deformed by the tight clothes and I'll ask Ashley and Kim about this and get back to you, when I hear something.  Though I am sure, that it's just a specific prototype and you have nothing to worry about.

And I want to finalize this update with post by Ashley Wood from RHKV blog:
SEE YA SOON !
AT RHKV2!

I know that it's crazytough and even probably annoying to read all last month about HKV and not having a chance to be there, but it will unveil some new designs, which will end up at Bambalandstore one way or another. As we look on all previous years exclusives, they were offered as other variants at Bambalandstore, to share the love with everyone else. Take AP Unleashed TKs for example, which were SDCC exclusives...remember how people were upset about not getting them? And few month later, 3A introduces AP Yellow Hornets for everyone. What I am trying to say...cheer up guys, I'm sure we will see Lady Sham in another variant at Bambalandstore soon! And of course there will be Bambalandstore allotment of Re-Venture exclusive (date and other details will be announced later on).

One last thing though...we have to keep our forum's total post count bellow 150.000, so from time to time, our MODs restart long threads (which are longer than 100 pages), my heart bleeds when we have to do that, but unfortunately that's the only solution for now. As we realized some people put a lot of work in their posts and would appreciate 24 hours notice, before we delete something...so unless it's critical: life & death situation for the server, we will post a notice in the thread, we plan to restart - 24 hours prior to it, in order to give people a chance to copy their comments and whatnot. Sorry for any possible inconvenience caused by this...

Latest post from Ashley's blog:
Re-Venture

Hi Everyone - T.P. here with an update for all of you who will be following the Re-Venture crowd this weekend!

Re-Venture is about to hit the ground running, with mere hours left until opening time we are all really excited and raring to go. Since this is Ash's personal blog we will be posting all of the relevant info and updates on the Hong Kong Re-Venture blog. Follow this link for all of the breaking news, photos and updates.

We ask all of you who have been lining up well in advance of opening to be respectful towards our security staff. They're not trying to mess with your experience, it's just a fire and public safety hazard to have so many people sleeping out on the street. Your hotel pillow loves you and promises you sweet dreams - unlike the pavement.

Prints And Art

Ash and I are currently gearing up for two events, The Book Show at the Daniel Maghen Gallery in Paris and then a major exhibition taking place at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC. We will be attending the Paris gig in spirit and we wish everyone at the Daniel Maghen Gallery all of the success for that show. Ash and I have been aware for sometime that our prints are harder to come by in Europe due to inport duties etc. So I am proud to announce that we will be creating an Ashley Wood print exclusively for the Daniel Maghen gallery sometime in the near future. Follow the link to the gallery website for info on The Book Show and keep it here for updates on the exclusive Paris print.

Thank Yous!!

And in closing, I would just like to thank the crew from Circle of Confusion, CAA and all of our assocs in L.A. Ash and I made it into the entertainment press again there this week. Thank you guys for all of your hard work.

Thank you also to all of the people who have worked so hard to put Re-Venture together, Kim, Benny, Xu and all of the crew up in Hong Kong - we couldn't do it without you.

Latest pics & posts from Re-Venture blog:

After a full year of planning, we're almost ready to go! Here are some set up pics for you all to enjoy. The white boxes are for the toy displays;)

F5 Bar dedicated to WWR Supreme NOM upcoming sale is open and waiting for you:
http://www.threeaonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=2690.0

Here is our good friend Martin, telling Supreme NOM story:

When Ash was taking about her it remind me in ways of the film The 13th Warrior where the bad guys, couldn't remember their name, had a female shaman back in their cave......supreme was described as someone that never went to the battle field but the 33 Noms went to her.  The tanks hold the gas which effectively gives them the ability to command robots and others and if they take too much and mix with the flow then they could turn into the fallen !!!!! Noms work very much between the worlds of science and religion and of course spirit.  Supreme really does sound like the mother that they go to, when I was listening to the back story the figure became more and more sense to the style Ash has done rather than someone in the field with weapons etc as that would be too obvious......damn I wish I could remember all of it.

30.04

WWR Supreme NOM is up for sale at www.bambalandstore.com right now, 3AA members have 24 hours on this one and as I am being told, there will be no surprises, so pretty straightforward sale for you guys.

As people usually ask these questions: 1) 3AA versions is limited to maximum of two per person 2) standard version – no strict restrictions, but ThreeA reserves the right to cancel excessive orders.

And in case you are new to ThreeA, you have to be existing 3AA 2012 member to get Whitemother figure. 3AA membership goes for sale : one time per year on January.

Some personal thoughts on Legion, 3A family and life:

Today group of us , who haven't been at Macau, had a little trip there and in the end , we said BYE and gave a strong hugs to our friend from Finland - Mikko, who is currently somewhere over Russia, on the way to Helsinki airport. It's funny that we shared the exact same flight and didn't know that both of us are going and met each other at the luggage station and were like WOAH, what are you doing here?!

Legion is truly a little family and you especially feel it during the conventions, when people start leaving. The feeling of sadness and fear that you will not see the person, who you became attached to in a really long time (or even never again - as life is pretty unpredictable) is quiet overwhelming and breathtaking (at least for me). You realize that life is such a miracle and you have to enjoy and treasure every fucking moment.

By making this sentimental and cliche statement, I got to say, that I really appreciate all the time I spent with my extended ThreeA family here and hope to see you again soon.

Love
Daniel

It incredibly inspiring and flattering the support 3A gets everyday, from emails of support, to so many fans joining us at Re-Venture and the support of our sales!  I have to smile ,the Supreme Nom was an epic sale , glad to know that so many of you understand what Im doing and why!

We make great toys, we give a shit, because we know some you give a shit, some of you don’t want to the crap to win, some of you care.

So from me , Kim, and all the 3A crew THANKS for having our backs!

Oh and while I’m here.. thanks to the flippers and haters for all your free advertising and promotion on facebook, ebay and the internet in general, Im sure we wouldn’t have nearly as much profile without your briney work.

Special sale of Ashley Wood Collection Audrey is coming to us on May 17th. What does special sale exactly mean? Probably that it's going to be limited and going on sale at random time. I'm sure we will hear more soon.

Severed feet on display at Re-Venture (I don't know whether they will be on sale, on May 17th or not):

Popbot Lady Sham will be on sale soon! I wonder what version is it going to be...and remember, how I told you, that no need to worry , if you can't be at Re-Venture to buy Shit Mood Lady Sham!

Some news about upcoming Re-Venture exclusives sale, as I am trying to make it as easy for you, as possible:
Only 3AA members can participate (who didn't already participate in a first pre-order)
Only singles will be on sale (no sets and no t-shirts)
Prices will be higher (estimated - 10$), as they will include worldwide shipping
Singles will be in 3AA section (so you have to log in first to see the exclusives)
First come - first served , you got to be really quick, as they are limited

It's not decided yet, whether CS will contact everyone who bought them to confirm the address or there will be some sort of another sequence of actions for that, but I or CS will let you know , once we will have it written in stone.

Traffic during Re-Venture exclusives Baambalandstore allotment sale hit Bambaland hard. Of course not a lot of people scored what they wanted, but I was genuinely happy for people who did and upset for people who didn't. In the end, we at ThreeA , are just humans and can't make everyone happy.

We are glad that we could offer special treatment for 3AA members two times with Re-Venture exclusives. First, there was a pre-order for 3AA members, who were visiting the show , so they could pick up figures and then, Bambalandstore allotment for everyone, who couldn’t make it to Hong Kong. We are really thankful to all 3AA members, who showed their support and became 3AA members this year or prolonged their membership for another run.

3AA membership package is starting to ship this month and we hope that you will LOVE it!

What else is scheduled to start shipping in May? Actually a lot of stuff!

Introduction of ThreeA online catalog:
First ThreeA sale happened almost four years ago , on June 26th 2008 and it was Nom de Plume from World War Robot Universe. And what a four years it were! Since then, we introduced different lines and scales , worked together with coolest artists and now started doing robots under movie licenses. Even though some things changed over the years, in my opinion ThreeA always have been about evolving , but staying true to it’s origin and ideals.

So, to cut the long story short: our art & toy exhibition – Re-Venture closed it’s doors on May 4th and today I want to introduce you ThreeA online catalog ! It’s still very raw, doesn’t feature all of our releases (just 420 entries at the moment) and we will keep working on improving it, but at the same time, we are very anxious to show it to you and especially to all the new people who just discovering the world of ThreeA.
