Blitzkrieg Unboxing!!! Lots of Pictures

[rrrray]

So I got my shipment in today, and I decided to do some unboxing photos for those of you still waiting. If you'd like some close-ups of particular models, or if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask! FYI, my pledge was for Blitzkreig and The Jetpacker, so I don't have Heavy Metal, Battle of Brighton, or Second Wave, or any of the other add-ons.

Here we go!

This is the shipping box you can expect for Blitzkreig (Eastern Front for scale):


And inside, you'll find:


After removing the first layer of boxes:


Everything out of the shipping box:

Thanks! Thumbs up for the Porky Pig at the end, too.

Seemed appropriate, seeing as I probably could have watched a Looney Tunes episode in the time it took to post all that!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. A great catalogue of everything in the Blitzkrieg box. I love seeing all the minis lined up at the end. It gives you a great idea how massive it really is. Totally awesome!

Having seen all these pictures I had best get on and sort out widening my front door so I can get the box through!

Yeah no kidding. I'm thinking something along the lines of this: http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?BCCID=110&PID=645, but I'll have to do some measuring.

My favourite is the massed armies as well.

That at is going to be a ton of monowheels on the board. Interesting tactics abound....

Overall I'm pretty pleased with what I got. I do wish I would have gone for some of the extras though. I'd like to have some more big units. At this point I've only got 2 spots for plugs on each team. I'll definitely be picking up Second Wave, Heavy Metal, and Battle of Brighton.

If you like I can take some detailed pics tonight of the additional addon packs that I got yesterday along with my Blitz package and add them to this thread.

Absolutely! Then I can stare at them until they're available for retail!

Oh man... these can't hit retail fast enough!!! I cannot wait!

Hopefully you have someone to play with as soon as you get them! My wife is my main gaming partner (which is great), and she's been working extra long shifts this week (which is not great), so I doubt I'll be playing before Saturday! It's killing me. I might do some solo testing to see how the units work against each other.

So glad you did this. Thanks a lot.
