Harlequin box content :?:

[Col_Stone]

Sooo, has anyone got any clue what will be in it?
I'm considering getting a full squad of those merry muppets and i want to cover all options in my initial purchase since the blisters are rumoured to be a splash-release.
Pretty hard to do whithout knowing what the box will contain:(

Just checked out the French GW site - looks like the box has 6 - 2 harleys with fusion pistols, 2 with kisses, a troup master, and (i guess) 1 ordinary harley. (At least that's what I see from the pics and a very limited understanding of french).

Actually it looks to be odd that there isn't a listing for a "basic" harley blister apart from the one model in the box. Which means that fielding them will be an expensive endeavor (both monetarily and points).

Maybe it'll make more sense once the GW US offers them on the advance purchase section.

Yeah, the boxed sets are almost acceptable for things that aren't really customizable (Banshees, Warp Spiders, etc...)

But the harlequin box set is a crime. No one in their right mind runs harlies without taking the kiss. So the box set is basically worthless. Which means I have to buy blisters to get all the models I want, which is going to cost a fortune. Blech.

Actually the way I've been looking at it, it almost makes more sense to buy boxes over separate blisters since it costs 10 for the master, 12 for each of the blisters of the other types - technically you're getting a free basic harley for -$4.00 (US). And since we know that Free and GW haven't gone together since the mid-90's, you know there's something afoot here...

And if you're tyring to corner the market on specific types, I'd ebay or use your favorite trade service to pawn what you don't need and get the types you do want...
