News about 3AA announced by Ashley Wood!
"membership is open for a set time , we will honor all orders placed during that time. ( so no limit unless things get out of hand )
Orders start on jan 15th AEST 9.00am. "

If you are high polygon modeler, 3A needs you! You can get perfect working place, detailed info here.

02.01.2009.

More news about, how to prolong 3AA membership. We haven't got one yet, but we already excited how to prolong it Wink

"existing members can renew without worry, the membership might work this way, say if 150 join up, thats the limit, so if in a year 20 people drop out, there would be 20 available. it will be non transferable also. the exclusives will be cool, why else make them.."

More tease from Ash, about the Square.
"the square will make an awesome platform fig, because in the WWR world each group, platoon etc always tweak the look with their own colors and decals, not just for shits and giggles but for practical reasons like battlefield recognition etc.
I bet he ends up being a fav !"(C) Ashley Wood
Well, what I can say, he is already my favorite!

More on the Square! I somehow feel that it's Ash favorite upcoming figure, so special attitude towards him. Mmmm...
"I think for the square Ill do something cool, I have many cool decal/colorways planned, rusted old, to slick PR versions..
maybe Ill blndbox them without any indication of how many variants there are..
so it could be anything, as the square will be much smaller and cheaper, I might go a lil crazy on variations or maybe I wont.and ill probably release a blank too!"(C) Ashley Wood

FAQ section updated about Bramble Euro Defense versions.

Four Blanc prints found their owners, according to Ashley Wood. But I wait for confirmation on that one. So...if it's right, six left out there. So summon your luck and wait for TK's to arrive.

Some info from Ash, about Euro Defense Bramble:"Euro is really cool he has no gat gun ( offensive weapon ) as he is a peace keeper within europe. each town and hamlet etc has a euro defence bramble or two to keep the peace ( from drunks to looters ) and if need be fight the mars born enemy. euro is waaay shitty and rusty, he isnt part of a well oiled war machine, more a civilian outfit, no cares for them, or takes time to clean the bots, they get serviced but thats it. each town decorates them as they see fit etc. "
He is going to ship in February. January and early February will be the pre-order for him. This will be the last Bramble for a while. So catch him. And last, but not the least - he has ? euro symbol on the box.

Check out found Blanc de Plume sketches gallery in here, and not forget to be happy for our boardies, who's got it!

WWRP will come out in "Waves." And will be available as singles (~USD40 + shipping) or a full set of 3 (~ USD120)
example:
1st Wave: 2 Brambles, 1 Bertie
2nd Wave: 1 Bramble, 1 Large Martin, 1 Bertie
etc...
"to be real clear here, so no more debate, 3 packs will come with 3 figures, those 3 figures will be announced prior, it will not be random.
or you can buy them as singles, then you pick which you want etc"
So we can relax now, knowing that the price is really more than modest.

If you are still interested how many people got Blanco&Negro in their TK variants, don't forget to check Magman's 3A limited edition registry.

Still thinking where to buy, TK's Aki? I have an answer for you! He would be sold through bambalandstore, please follow the news for further notice. And if you haven forgotten, how this gorgeous one looks like, here you go:

Very interesting topic about Ashley Wood art on skateboards, which would be auctioned one day at bambalandstore, go and read it.
Due to the popularity of TK's arrival, new topic started. Old one in the archives.

12.01.2009
Great news about 3AA and Euro Bramble!

3AA members can pre order the day before a pre order happens, you will be emailed special link for the store. This will effect how many are offered at standard pre order. the bottom line is , we are liquid and will adjust to the market. If 200 Brambles sell out at 3AA pre order, we "might" make more etc. but the demand will have to be there and be very strong and vocal.

You are interested, when you will get that special email, if you are 3AA member? I have the answer for you. Let's say the 3AA pre-order is at 9am, the 3AA pre-order email will be sent at 9am.

Guys, please make sure your info is correct on the store, real name, proper email etc, because that's the data 3A will use for everything in future. I'm sure that if you are getting 3AA, you don't want to miss exclusives (let's pretend, I'm just scarring you to check things) or 3A magazine to be delivered to the wrong address? So please check everything.

Ashley Wood said that t-shirts, which can be seen on TK's figures would be available at bambalandstore.
Now an update from him:
here will be tshirts, we have a nice tag made n all !
I want to do a box set of all the Tk shirts at full size. and yea you will be able to pick your size yada yada..

Still excited about how Euro Defense Bramble looks like?
Sneak peak at your service!

200 items will be produced, wait for the new official image, he is going to be a killer!
A little bit backstory on the Euro Defense Bramble, I enjoy the figure more, when I know something about it, so here is a bit of info:
"The US doesnt need a US defence model as they have a large army that can defend there country with ease. Euro defence are there for smaller EURO countries, to help keep the peace and if needed defend the surrounding land against hostile military incursions. During war time the threats are not always from the obvious enemy"

15.01.2009

News about 3AA Exclusive Desert Bramble, legs are articulated now too. He is as articulated as the big one, in fact a little better in some places !

17.01.2009
A lot of news today!
First of all, new character from Popbot(9?) is going to be made by 3A!
It's going to be Blind Cowboy in WWR scale.
News about release dates: Euro Defense Bramble is next, Oya and .nfo will be released together, more info soon. Euro goes on preorder sale "3rd of feb 9am AEST".
TK's .nfo variant is going to be offered before OYA, as the jacket isnt what Ashley Wood wants yet. He wants OYA to be perfect!
And now quote:
Ill probably offer AKI without the bot head in our classic showbox packaging with a new illo to be different from the rest . maybe $100 shipped or sumin.

*continue*
Ashley Wood is asking us, whether we want real credit buying options over Paypal at bambaland store? If you want to read what's said before you and express your opinion, go here it would be appreciated.

Mysterious section Showcase here, Ash wants us to guess about the products, do you have any ideas? As we remember Showcase was a 3A line, for non Ashley Wood created worlds. So...Johny...would be probably Johny Quest and Sp...Spawn? But I haven't got any idea for AWM yet Wink

Here is early Ashley Wood quote about Showcase:
Here is Ashley Wood quote:

There is going to be black Euro Defense Bramble chase figure! And some story about the Merc Bramble as WWRP.
Freaking a lot of news about that figure! I'm very excited, but I don't want to ruin direct Ash's speech. Just read the quotes:
"tell ya what, you buy 4 euro, ill make sure you get a Black guard, which hail from Germany by the way. deal ?"
"buy one and cross ya fingers, BUT if you really wanna buy 4 at once, like really wanna and will help board members out with doubles ill strike a deal. 1000 bucks shipped, 3 standard one black guard.. ill offer everyone the deal though you could just wait ?"
"well the merc bramble has to have an origin and it starts with the Black Guard bramble... with a skull as its German and they like skulls.."
"No has seen a merc yet.. you guys saw a dark silvery colored bramble that got called a merc. the merc that you will see is different and better.. ya gotta wait, WWRP will be the palce for it. The black guard is a fun thing for me really, dats all.."
"the black guard are government guards, glossy and black, with skull motif.. not soo rusty and gnarled as a euro and no gat as they have a touch off class to them not brute force. It will be a limited offer to 10 sets on pre order day for 3AA. "
"ill show the design at pre-order time too, so you can think about it on the day..."

So to summarize everything, you can buy the set of four Brambles and get Black one. Or you can buy one box, and get Euro or Black Bramble, it's up to you. And Black Bramble pictures will be shown on the preorder day. And you can buy only one set or one box.
And for all who are curious, whether we see black Bramble in WWRP, I have promising answer - as Ash said - every bramble design will see the light of day as a WWRP, many more than you will probably want.
It's a cool day.
10 sets for Black Bramble are already covered. Ash mentioned, if you really are going to spend 1000$ on four Brambles set, PM him with your details.

3A photo gallery is updated with Euro Bramble picture, with his guns out, don't forget to check it out!
