To those of you who are getting tracking numbers/shipping notices- when did you place your orders? I placed my order on the 3rd and haven't heard anything yet. I put mine in on the 1st, but I have not yet received a tracking number. I suspect that I will get it soon though.

I have a tracking number and an estimated delivery of the 13th. I imagine I'd get it sooner but I'm all the way across the country from them. Too freaking excited, I can't wait to see what's inside

Just ordered two more.
I've read that the two people I saw get theirs got a mk3 starter box, a unit, some jacks and plastic colossal. Seems like a hell of a deal.

So THIS is how MK3 should have started!

Hmm, so they're all from one faction? That makes a bit more sense I suppose.

It seems that there are 5 boxes: Skorne, Cryx, Cygnar, Circle and, Ret. Each box comes with a Huge base, a MK3 battle box, a unit or 2 and the rest jacks/beasts.
I have seen Skorne: Hydra, 2 units of hvy Inf (Cert and something else I can't read) & tokens.
Cryx: Kraken/Sep, Ripjaws, another chicken, and a larger Jack.
Ret:Griffon, Invectors, Hyperion/Helios
Cygnar: Stormwall/Hurricane, Stormclad/Reliant, Stormblades.
I haven't seen any posts regarding the Circle box other than it exists.

From the menoth facebook group, it looks like the circle box is a battle box, Storm Raptor, Gorax, Druid Mist Riders, and Tokens

I’ve seen the contents of four out of the five boxes.
Cygnar: Can make a 71 point list. Mkiii Starter Colossal dual kit (Stormwall/Hurricane) Heavy Jack dual kit (Stormclad/Reliant) Stormblade kit Tokens
Cryx: Can make 79 points!!! Mkiii Starter Colossal dual kit (Kraken/Sepulcher) Heavy Jack multi kit (Reaper/Malice/Corruptor) Ripjaw Bonejack Nightwretch Bonejack Tokens
Ret: Max’s our at 64 points, but dang, this box is amazing if you take the Helios. Mkiii Starter Colossal dual kit (Hyperion/Helios) Dawnguard Invictors Griffon light Warjack Tokens
Skorne: Has the worst box as you can’t go into a theme without dropping units or beasts. 71 points without a theme. Mkiii Starter Desert Hydra Cetratii Incindiarii Tokens
Circle (according to those that have them): Makes 65 points. Mkiii Starter Storm Raptor Gorax Mistriders Tokens
I’m hoping for either a Cryx or Ret box.
The Ret box is insane as you can run it straight out of the box if you include a Helios. The Cryx box looks like it could be strong out of the gate too. Cygnar will be fantastic with a couple of extra minis - Squire would help greatly. I’m not a fan of Circle, so can’t really comment on them.
The Skorne box has made my brain melt though. Why bring Skornergy back? Very weird combination of stuff in that box.

It's not a carefully crafted list. This is overstock models at a bargain bin price. It's no accident, IMO, that every box contains 1 of their hard plastic colossals, and that none of the models included (barring BBs) are ones that have been seeing competitive play lately.

rad10hazard , seeing as you specifically call out no theme possible for Skorne, it might be worth noting that the Cryx one is only 65 points (assuming you use the most expensive, Malice, option of the kit) assuming Black Industries and thus taking 2 arc nodes for free. oncomingstorm most of the colossals aren't seeing competitive play, but both Cygnar's and Retribution's does in certain list, so it's not really fair to say they're all useless.

Helios sees play in a few lists, but not enough to justify the number they likely had to order as part of a new production contract. Cygnar collossals see very little competitive play, and the stormwall is seen much more often than the Hurricane (and the stormwall predated the Hurricane multikit). I don't imagine either kit has been a huge seller.

I do worry a bit about the financial health of PP, any company that is prepared to liquidate stock at deep discounts must be having some sort of cash flow issues.
edit, it's not like they are a clothing store that want to shift last seasons clothes to make room for next lot, PPs models should be pretty much timeless.
