Hey tank,
I am on the fence about this years fss. I was most looking forward to Salvo and once I saw the sack of bones version I decided I would just cherry pick this year. The new Salvo although not perfect I am happy with. Anybody else think the club just wants max subs and just made that mock up for that purpose? After the deadline closes we will then get the bad news of the new Salvo parts not being available And in club fasion... they will say to make it up they promise the 13th figure will blow our minds Knowing that the 13th figure is the same as it was before the controversy. |

I believe that the GIJCC is being genuine in trying to fix this Salvo figure. The tools may not be available to them, without help.
My prediction is that Derryl DePriest will be called by the club, and that he will have enough influence or connections to gain access to the tooling to make the new Salvo design happen for the Club, (and for us FSS subscribers). Of course, this is only a hunch or gut feeling, and I don't have a shred of proof regarding this... Equally, my gut feeling is telling me that G.I. Jane is the 13th figure in this FSS 5.0 |

I think it's a good-faith effort on their part. If they engage in deliberate deception, and that fact becomes known, there will be hell to pay, regardless of any disclaimers they may have about "subject to change".
That doesn't mean the improved build will come to pass, but I do believe that they are at least trying.

I just subscribed, and on the first subscription page that shows the 12 figures -- they're using the "v2.0" Salvo mock-up. That gave me confidence that they're at least serious about it/about trying to make it happen. Naive perhaps, but it gave me confidence that it wasn't simply a bait-and-switch (or bait-and-switch back :-) ).

But, what if, they created v2.0 knowing full well they couldn't get access to the tooling, so created v1.0 to soften the blow and they could say they tried. Then at the 11th hour, the tooling becomes available, but causes a production delay and the ships are stuck in a Chinese port which causes the figures to finally be delivered in 2019.
