Sorry guys for being a bit late today, still no Bertie MK3 sale date (late November as an estimated), but there are news report!

First, 3A posters are ready to ship out! Here are some pics:

Ashley talking about the posters thick paper and that they will be delivered in wooden type sleevy things, fuck the extra costs for 3A, posters got to be delivered safely to the customers:
"well here is the word from the top, posters dont fit into tubes, paper is too thick, so we are making wooden type sleevy things, I dont know the details , but Benny does, so everyone gets their posters delivered in good condition .
so you can sell on **** without hassles..."
"we are already running on empty on these posters, a brand wood be great but waaaaay outtta our budget"
"all learning , great paper though !
as we say here at 3A, Fuckit."
"I dont know how they are gonna do it, sounds pretty crazy to me, I said to fold em up...."

As you probably heard, MK2 Bertie previously only seen in 1/12th scale, will be released in 1/6th scale next year. Here is Ashley talking about offering a bunch of Dirty Deeds MK2 Berties (in 1/12th scale there was a set of 12 Dirty Deeds):
"when we release a MK2 bertie next year, im certainly going to make some DD sets, just for and my lads if need be. cost wise its very prohibitive to most collectors. Still there will be some sets floating around in some way or another~"

MK3 Berties colorways and prices - nothing written in stone yet, but there will be no EMGY:
"Mk3 will represent the core colorways that I like, something for everyone ~"
"no EMGY"
"we dont know costs yet, need to add all the expenses up but we normally come in around what we expect.
Have no revealed the colorways or what date it be onsale, think late november though."
"no medic or EMGY coz MK3 is brutal offensive bot, not made fro civil ( EMGY ) or medic type duties... MK3 likes to kill"
"medic bot are there for covering fire, not fully offensive. as mentioned before..."

New fan podcast made by our forum member Eric, with the help of other boardies, can be found here. It's dedicated to Tomorrow Queens, Fighting JC and WWRp Armstrong! Can you believe that it's already the podcast number 7?

As we heard, there is no EMGY Bertie MK3, because Bertie MK3 by the nature is brutal offensive bot. BUT all EMGY colorway fans don't lose your spirit, because there will be CUCU Bertie MK3, which will share some of the resemblance with EMGY colorway!
"ghost hunter, hunt ghosts.
EMGY dont have MK3 CUCU do.. very similar in color, lives in the same hangar as EMGY, but very different job, if you see CUCU, run.."
"CUCU is a great name.. of course its a umbrella term etc."

Ashley reminding us what stands behind Slaughterhouse Dropcloths:
"slaughterhouse is just Dc, a martian experiment in terror..
they have other stuff..."

WWRp Large Martins are shipping out, here is the pic and touching words from Ashley:
"As WWRp Large Martin is entering the shipping system I just wanted to say thanks to the patient folks who have hung in there, Ill make no excuses, these are WAAAY overdue, but I believe when you see the final figs you will see where the time and energy has gone ! They will be in your hands soon, but before that I wanted to show some more images because Im very proud of these !!! -Ash
Thank you for your patience and support!

Ashley Woods needs your help and seeks your talent! If you are 3D modeler and want to help him and get involved in doing models for games, click here.
"coz im lame and dont know how to make new thread and sections..
I need some game 3D modelers , well for games.. so if your down with that, or know of anyone, send em my way"

Btw, Talent needed section changed a bit it's location, to be more visible for our forum members and guests.

About MK3 colorways:
"MK3 slots are filled... I would love to have 10 colorways. the African defence one is cool.. dont forget him"
"there will not be 10,I wish, but no"

Ashley never said that Bertie MK3 will not be WWRp release, this wouldn't change a fact that Bertie is 19.5" tall! Just a matter of taste.
"i never said this wasnt a WWRp release.."
"I like the idea of the 19.5 version being he only one, a giant robot. There are no plans to make a smaller one ! that size works well in both scales, but posing a 1/12th deplume with it rocks.. but thats my opinion"

Dropping some interesting info in Bertie MK2 thread:
"Of course the Dirty Deeds and Deplume are hunted down by the Caesar Corp named ******** ******.. But you knew that."

Latest entry from Ashley's art blog:
Some new paintings I have started. Starting paintings is always more fun than finishing them...

Ashley commenting on Bambaland looking character on one of the painting above:
"thats not bamba, its... The Chud
or Chuddy
related to bamba, and the Doob"

Looks like Popbot is ready for shipping (not saying that it will ship out right now). Love the box art.......I mean LOVE the box art!

DW Heavy Bramble and no worries, the shipping version is rusted, like WWR White Engineer Armstrong in some parts:

Ashley about DW Heavy Bramble looks and how rare he is:
"ha, thats a cean variant, not for sale, dont worry, the bought have rust"
"rarest 1/6th robot by far, hardly anyone ordered it...."
"probably not"
"Im finding out about rusty version, I have not seen, SO that could be it people, i love it. if the rust has been omitted, you can have a refund no prob. waiting for an official word"
"the shipping version is rusted, aka engineer armstrong in parts..."
"we dont re-release stuff"
"maybe oneday" - that there is a chance for NW Heavy Bramble...one day

Fuck It #2 in hardcover, will be available for sale on November 1st, 9:00 AM Hong-Kong time, at www.bambalandstore.com ...64 pages of Ashley's art and the book, which will cheer you up. Currently it's going to be available only at www.bambalandstore.com , but there is a chance that some comic retailers will have 'em, but you know how it's convenient and easy to buy at Bamba, especially if you have 3AA discount.

About MK3 Bertie variants and colorways:
"nothing is confirmed"

MK3 Bertie is currently almost the most mysterious 3A bot sale!

31.10

Bertie MK3 information, to summarize: MK3 goes on sale in November or December, depending whether 2000 AD Mongrol would be offered first (3A cant promise anymore Berties MK3 beyond this release); samples will be shown: PRV Bertie MK3 could be offered for sale mid 2011;
"nothing has changed,
Im not gonna show until all the samples are done and finished, why show half finished shit, I dont need to ?
Im not gonna promise any more MK3 beyond this release, because in the new year we are doing some new things that are gonna take factory time, PRV could take til middle of next year.
Mk3 goes onsale next month, samples shown when done
and Gar, shit changes man, we dont have rules or spreadsheets at 3A, plus I run it, and I always reserve the right to change my mind."
"MK3 will be forsale soon, Im thinking of pushing it into early december to avoid thanksgiving etc.. November has other sales too.. so who knows..
as said, once samples are done, and I dig them, ill show em, really that simple, nothing sinister.
Might sell Mongrol before Mk3"

Reminder not to talk in the main threads about money and going into long discussions whether you can afford Bertie or any other toy or not, this is a toy discussion forum, not money discussion forum:
"MK3,__ not a finances thread,
simple, dont buy or buy."

Bertie MK3 A&B versions information:
"MK3  mode A would fuck up bramble.. mode B would have more trouble, a more even fight decided by weapons."
"2 different configurations A and B
why build, profit and death. like any fine weapons company.."
"its a bertie... think long big bertie..."
