Unreleased Orc Lineman?

Post by Mail »

Anyone knows the story on this one? Is it really an Unreleased figure?
From what I can see it's a Lineman 4?

Its marked on my site as Unreleased ... its marked on my site as rare as it was not a figure that GW ever included in any of their catalogues.

I guess the more proper statement is "not directly marketed" instead of Unreleased. But the figure doesn't have a GW part number so that meant you had to get it through them swapping it in for some other figure at some time .. (most likely used in place of Lineman #1 when they probably ran into moulding issues with #1)

The actual Rarest of these linemen goes in this order: No 3, No 2, No4, No1 (No 3 is the rarest or hardest to get hold of I think one of the nicest too) I have a bit of experience here but as Galak says just because No 4 didn't have a part No theres still a truckload out there :wink:

This post got me to check up on the Lineorcs I have, unearthed both a 3 and a 4.
Now, the No. 3 one says "Orc" on the front of its tab; the "unreleased" No. 4 says "Lineman" instead. Coincidence? I don't have No.'s 1 and 2 to check, but could it be that all the "regular" ones have "Orc" on the tab, while No. 4 has "Lineman"?
Tritex? Take a few minutes and check your Orcs? Please?

Will do! 8) 1,2,4 say lineman. Only No 3 says Orc. Seees strange I hadn't noticed. The No 3 is actually one of the rarer ones too. It may be this came in a blister as opposed to the team pack. Can anyone clarify this? :-?
