Well, we're not exactly sure since we don't have a release date. But my guess would be late July/early August. The minis will definetly be released in the Fall. So hopefully you will be visiting the USA for a while!
Yeah, they're like little mini versions but they don't have all of the great functions like the V1s and V2s do. They're not meant for serious play since they only have like three adult characters etc.
