    I can't recall any backers wanting more detail. I guess it's possible, but my recollection is that it was driven by non-gamers and Kevin Siembieda, who still has no clue about miniatures vs models. And that the overwhelming response to the high part count was negative when first proposed.

    There are multiple things that should have been made as one part. Like the spartan arms, almost every leg and foot assembly, that tiny canopy cover for the battloid, that tiny thing on the phalanx, that other piece on the phalanx, the Vf-1 head variations, the hips of the destroids...

    That was informative. Thanks. I look forward to the updates on M3.

    Seto, is there a site that lists the MW output of the MII VF engines? I'm not seeing it on M3, Sketchley's, or Macross Compendium.

    I need one.

    Outlook poor. There are reports from all over that the products that are out on shelves aren't moving.

    For real. But I think that is what PB thought they were getting by partnering with Ninja Division.

    Whoa...whoa...whoa. What have I posted that would lead you to believe I am a true believer? I wasn't playing Battletech when the unseens were still seen, and while I had backed it originally to use the minis with PB's Robotech RPG, I have no intention of using that game system at this time. In any case there is still a sizable number of people who bought in to play the wargame itself, some of whom are actually playing it. But, yes, I think in at least one of the updates it was implied or stated that some of the early delays were caused by HG taking their sweet time reviewing everything. But they've been blaming everyone that isn't PB for all the delays, including using the backers as an excuse for why they aren't updating regularly enough. Well if they used 15mm scale we'd have 4-5 inch tall Macross minis. I think that compatibility with Battletech was a component, but I also think that Kevin's total inexperience with wargaming and how scales work were also at work in that decision.

    I did.

    Because Kevin and his crew had no clue that there is a difference between wargaming miniature and multipart model, also "mouthwatering detail."
  12. VF-0RC
    I don't even think I'm going to bother with using mine.

    There have been frequent complaints about the fragility of antennae and small guns on the regults. They are such a pain to assemble that I have had the starter box since Oct 28 last year and only have assembled four. Unlike other multi-part minis I have assembled, the contact points between limbs and body are all smooth, so unless you like pinning and greenstuffing your minis, I'd avoid these. The included instructions are also garbage. https://goo.gl/photos/45HhoCLc4J5wV5e46

    They can be adamant about not breaking the terms of the service, but they have broken at least the portion about not spamming, and it is arguable whether they are making a good faith effort in keeping the backers in the loop. If their further extension of allowing backers to order Gencon exclusives, and continual hawking of them, is any indication, I think they might have blown through a sizable amount of the $1.4 million.

    All of them. It was something of a way to denote closness between him and other characters.
  16. VF-0RC
    They are the most frustrating miniatures I have ever assembled, which is why I have only done 5 out of my entire box.
  17. VF-0RC
    In my experience, this is not par for the course. Most tend to be long enough to update the backers, and don't veer into complaints about the backers.

    But she did blame Gamlin, IIRC.
  19. VF-0RC
    I knew a CW5, so they exist in more than legends. I've been wondering about the lack of female valk pilots. It seems like for whatever reason, in order to be a female and a pilot the character has to be at least partially Meltran, which seems kind of sexist in a "No mere human woman can be a pilot." kind of way.

    I'm going to second Nekki Basara. I expected to hate him, and Gamlin, when I watched M7 because everywhere on the internet people just seem to hate him. He seems more self-confident than conceited and arrogant.
  21. VF-0RC
    Now do.

    Capital shipd turning into giant robots is not only cool, but kind of one of the things that make Macross Macross. I bet they didn't like seeing the Macross Quarter surfing either.
  23. VF-0RC
    They are models with slightly less detail than miniatures of the same size and scale that have a high part count with several extremely small parts. Compared to other multi-part wargaming miniatures I have assembled they are the least user friendly miniatures to assemble.

    I'm not sure, possibly before 1994, but my most concrete memory of Macross is coming across the Exo-Squad Robotech toys made by Playmates circa '94, amking me 9 or 10. Some how, probably because my mom knew where it was from, we ended up renting Robotech. I didn't even know that Robotech was three different shows spliced together until relativly recently, sometime in the last 5-10 years thanks to the internet, the PB Robotech RPG, and the sharing of movies that happens in the Army during deployments, which is how I discovered Macross Plus.
