Vendetta is part of Series 3 and already available in Europe (UK's The Entertainer, but now sold out).

Series 4 was an early preview. Spring 2019 hit stores in April, so might be the same this time. We'll see.

I found a few things at WM last night, the Outpost and a couple Battle Royale items on sale. The Outpost is decent but it doesn't seem like buying multiples will get you an enclosed building due to the canopy pieces, which is a lost opportunity for both we dorks and JW's profits. Sometimes fidelity to the source canon hurts the toys, imho. The Specialist's helmet is cheap, for not locking in place, fitting properly, or having a closing visor. But he should make good fodder for a custom that I've been prevaricating on too long.

I saw the BR Port-a-Fort sets on sale for only $4 but passed due to getting the Outpost and the BR Stormwing bi-plane at $5. I figure the Ice King's very cool weapons are woth the price if the plane is a dud; which it's not. The prop spins, as do all 3 wheels with the rear one steerable; and the steering controls spin. However, there's no leg room for 18ths and the legs need to be popped off to get anybody in it. Hopefully we'll get a Barnstormer pilot in the 18th line, maybe.

I agree with the points you made about the outpost and helmet. That is really interesting you got that plane. A couple questions.

1. Do the 4" figures fit on the wing pegs?
2. What is behind that solid piece in the cock pit? Could it be cut out to fit the figures legs?

It looks like the plane might just be slightly smaller then the figures, scale wise. I don't think it really looks all that bad.

The wing pegs should be able to have figures stand on them as that’s what they did in the game before they got removed from the game over a full year ago.

Correct. I was asking to know if the pegs were the same size to fit the 4" figures or a smaller size to fit the figures that go with that plane.

Teknique doesn't have a backpack. Hope this helps!
