    One of twelve... *starts counting my cash*

    Wow 12 pins! I wonder how distribution is going to work. 1 big set of 12, 2 sets of 6, 3 sets of 4, or something else?

    I would chuckle immensely if we got a Bat'leth or N-Gage pin as one of the twelve. (For reference: penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/08/14/armadeaddon-blade-princess)

    My question is: Are these going to be an online companion to a comic storyline, or are these going to be released at Prime (which is coming up relatively quick)? My first thought was wondering if they were planning on doing four at a time as the show sets for Prime, Aus, and South. It would be pretty interesting to have a special set with pieces exclusive to different shows (and would definitely spur more trading activity).

    This could be a set for October for all we know (I mean... zombies and such), but I would love to see these pop up before Prime. If they release these during Prime however... may the pin gods have mercy on those who need to collect this and a full staff 3.0 set.

    And I've been saying it since I first heard for this set: I need an N-Gage pin. I don't care how much licensing is for it, it has to be a thing or else I'll be super sad. And of course Cinnabon Gabe. Anything else beyond these I'll be cool with regardless.

    Just a guess, but it *feels* like there could be a folio involved, similar to the KI one. I could be totally wrong.

    Alright, so here's the start of my picks for the twelve. Most of these are based on the comic series -

    01 - Splatter Gabe
    02 - Phone Fu Tycho
    03 - Flashback Frank
    04 - Zombie Charles (with apple tastefully hidden)
    05 - Title Logo
    06 - Bat'leth Annarchy
    07 - Butterknife Galahad
    08 - Delicious Beverage Fruit F**ker
    09 - Necromaster
    10 - Cinnamon Roll Gabe
    11 - Mall Zombie
    12 - Special Cameo Guest Rex Ready

    With Brian delaying the DSB release so it could be launched with Core 2.0, I think they might release the first part of this series on July 16th, too. Why else would they say "stay tuned" just now? There's already a fairly big release in 9 days that they could make even bigger, and Prime is still too far away for them to randomly announce a fraction of its launch pins right now.

    Also, the idea of a blind box set has been tossed around for quite a while now. Seeing that there's 12 pins, these very well might be part of their own blind box run.

    My friends... I think July 16th will be a big, big day.

    I bet they'll come included with the launch of the official pin bags.

    I base this on Brian ignoring this tweet from yesterday:



    I mean why else would he go radio silent?!

    I'm betting Splatter Gabe has a companion piece Queasy Tycho. Other picks include D20 Tycho, Old Photo, Zombie Hoard, iZombie Hoard. Otherwise I think @evil santa is really close. Apart from Rex Ready that's just wishful thinking and sheer want.

    Rex Ready will be there. I believe...

    Will it be a 12 pin Armadeaddon set for $70, replacing Lookouts as the new trade fodder set? Will I be destroying my pin budget for PAX Prime a month and a half before I even get to Seattle?

    my guess... 6 pin set to purchase, the other 6 handed out some other way, possibly in blind boxes. A folder like the KI set also seems like a good pick for a set dedicated to so many pins.

    12 Random pin traders can buy the right to become Pin-holes. They are given 500 of one of the pins and MUST trade them all away 1 at a time before the end of PAX , if you succeed, you are given a DLC, but you don't get any of the this set :)

    (ok..so a man can dream)

  • NopeNope Frankfort, KYRegistered User regular
    I don't think it'll be a hugely zombie centered set...they seem like they've done that a LOT already

    I am thinking maybe something spider-related...going by Armadeaddon's text style with some sort of webbing it looks like.

    Just a random guess.

    Add this to all the other currently known information about the set, guys!

    PAX Prime is less than 10 weeks from now (6), and it seems like they will probably reveal all the images before its over. At this rate 8 will be revealed before PAX assuming they do 1 week of. So that leaves a set of 4 to reveal at PAX. It just seems like more hype during PAX is probably better than doing a reveal after it when everyone is exhausted. And I bet they will forego the Tues-of-PAX reveal and just show the last 5 at once.

    See, Dabe understands that all the fans need them for their pin posters/pin sites. That's why PA is really amazing :)

    The timing means they will have 4-5 left to reveal when PAX Prime starts. My money is on them revealing the whole set during PAX.

    Much like AggroCraig said a while back, it seems like they might just reveal one pin each week and then launch it in October for their Halloween stuff (I'm thinking blindbox style because of how many pins there are).

    The Prime scenario is possible, too. They could launch their first ever blind box set at PAX. You're buying your shirts, core sets, etc., and you throw on a couple Armadeaddon boxes to see what you get. This would also spark a lot of trading, and seeing how Gabe loves the trading aspect of pins it's totally possible. (I like the idea of a blind box set for that exact reason, too.)

    They could also just not release all of the images and leave something to be opened in the blind box (DSB?)

    With my luck, I'd buy the Armadeaddon specific boxes in this scenario, and still pull Castle Guy and Lookouts 04.

    Forrealsies tho, I could totally get behind a "blind box" Armadeaddon set, 2 pins per box, no duplicates in a box.

    @Hingo, if that's how it works out, and those are the only things in the blind boxes, I'd be ok with that.
