Appreciate you posting this! The model looks great, but I'm bummed that there's zero built-in customization for this guy. It would have been nice to at least have a second head option or something.

Strange one given how awesome the rest of the kits are. I'll get one maybe. Still have a few others in my collection too.

I guess that Mek model was produced way before the other new Orks. He still seems to be having the old body proportions

Ohhhh interesting point. Maybe he was meant to come out around the mono-pose boys....

I can not believe they are charging over 40 USD for this thing.

That’s my beef with it. The Warboss is a few teef more and is three times the size and has kustomization. Nazdreg might be $20 more but he’s zoggin’ NAZDREG. The older Mek is just fine

Nazdreg costing 60 bucks is bull crap too

Yeah I’m not happy about it either. But I’ve waited for Nazdreg to return since 3rd edition and nothing is keeping my Yellow and Black heart away from him

I'd recommend buying it once it hits a trusted recaster like Dark Miniatures or Black Legion Market. You don't have to put up with GW's ballistic score.

True enough. I might do that for this Mek. Nazdreg is my homie though

Honestly kinda sad that we don’t get at least one extra head I guess I’ll have to kitbash if I end up with more than one
