Just when you thought your Armored divisions couldn’t get any stronger, GeeWunner drops word that his custom Tanks For The Memories set is now available for Pre-Order! Included in the set are –
Enemy Infantry Fast Attack Tank – Enemy fans may be interested in the Infantry Fast Attack Tank. This is Geewunner’s classic Fast Attack Tank, recolored in a dark blue hue, with all the same features. They’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but not all the parts were available in dark blue. However, the final necessary part just came out recently, so they rushed it out to market as a part of this ‘tanks’ theme. This makes a great companion piece to the Enemy Attack Cannon. The regular black version of the tank will go on hiatus while Geewunner promotes this version, but it will be back eventually.
Missile Tank v2 – Now, for those that have already purchased the first version, we have good news. While the redesign is far too complicated to offer a simple upgrade kit, we’ve come up with a way for you to upgrade and save some cash. We’re offering a 1.0 “buyback” upgrade option. If you own a 1.0, you can mail it back in to us to gain credit for the reduced price entry. It would be a good idea to contact us to let us know that you plan to mail in your 1.0, but it is not necessary as long as you realize that any order including a “credit” MT2.0 will NOT ship until the returned 1.0 arrives. With the lead time of a preorder, you should have plenty of time to mail your 1.0 in and not delay the shipment of your order.
Main Battle Tank – Finally, Geewunner excited to release the Main Battle Tank, which is of course his homage to the classic ’82 Mobat. This is the largest tank he’s yet designed, and every attempt was made to capture the features of the original, plus an extra original feature or two. It features real working treads, fully rotating turret, fully rotating cupola (which moves back and forth as well), pivoting cannon, three opening panels on the turret, extra treads, opening rear box with engine detail, and seating for a Kreon.
As with most Geewunner sets, this pre-order is sure to sell out quickly, so make sure to get yours while you can! Questions? Concerns? Join us after the break and share your thoughts with Geewunner directly!

Hi everyone, Austin from Geewunner customs here. The purpose of this thread is to interact with you folks, field questions and ask some of my own, all in the effort to make the best possible products, now, and for as long as this project continues.

These blog posts lay out the genesis of each set, detail its features, and explain the limitations of the design - usually based on part availability and the realities of semi-mass production. Some of our other sets can occasionally be seen at our eBay listings, including the VAMP, HAL, and more. Blog posts for the balance of our line are forthcoming, and will be added to this first post accordingly.
You can also find out more about our stuff through my three appearances on the great Flag Points podcast:

We have a lot of great stuff planned for the rest of this year and beyond, from multiple eras of the franchise, so if you like what we’ve done so far, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! We'll also drop teases for upcoming sets and announcements of promotions or sales here as well.
If you have questions about specific items (make sure you've perused the blog posts before you ask questions that may be answered there) or the line in general, I’d be happy to answer them in this thread. Also, I have some questions of my own…
Are you most (or at all) interested in…
Only RAH stuff?
Just the early era (’82-‘86ish?)
Later RAH (’87-ish thru ’94 and beyond)?
Adventure Team homage sets?
Recolors/retools (i.e. red or white HISS tanks, Tiger Force, etc)?
Customs based on vehicles from fiction (Cobra Sky Crane copter, ATV from ‘Cobra’s Captives’, etc.)?
…or based on unproduced prototypes like the Tank Transporter?
Geewunner original sets “in the style of” Joe (such as our currently available Ninja Cycle 2pack)?
Original recolors/retools (such as an “arctic” AWE Striker in white)?
Playsets? Big? Small?
Playsets based on environments from fiction?
Thanks for reading, looking forward to your feedback!

Here's a sneak peek at March's releases!
There are actually two more AT-themed releases this month as well: two color variations of an original 2-pack. It's a combo of retooled & recolored versions of the Ferret and Night Landing. Looking to drop these four sets by the middle of this month.
April's two releases will probably debut at the Burbank, CA Joe show on April 6th, and become available online shortly thereafter.

been ordering your stuff and love what I got so far. Have the Vamp inbound and can't wait to see how that looks in my hands too.
kennywr22 says
His stuff is top notch. Have the adv. team stuff on the way. Can't wait.

Hey Austin, next time, try reaching out to a staff member instead of "waiting patiently". No staff member would actively look out building block threads in the Customs General Discussion Area.
Thanks.
stealthy slim says
Thanks.
No love for Slim, I guess.
PS: btw, Austin, I included your thread in my request. So you did ask, in a sense
Geewunner says
Thanks.
If it helps, the previous thread can be deleted; this one has updated info.
Geewunner says
We've secured our spot at the Burbank Joe show,and are preparing April's releases, set to debut at the show, as well as ensuring we have as many copies of each and every set in the line are in stock for that event. Can't wait to start teasing out the next two sets, we really think folks are going to love 'em!

Actually, I did respond. Maybe you didn't see it/get it? As you already reached out to another Admin though, they'll handle your request.
No love for Slim, I guess.
