Valkyrie Driver Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 28 minutes ago, kajnrig said: Thanks. @Valkyrie Driver I started a test run last night, and some initial thoughts in no particular order: - Very much an RPG, not so much a board game. Lots of stat-tracking. Pen and paper would be useful to reduce clutter. - Enemy behavior could be handled differently, namely a dedicated enemy player/DM. (I'm thinking up rules for that for when I play with my friends.) As is, it's a bit clumsy but functional once you know what everything means. - Relies on cards for EVERYTHING. All sorts of cards, a good number of them not labeled very well. - Takes up a LOT of real estate. - Figures are frickin' awesome, especially the boss/mini-boss ones. I hear there are expansions, too... - Once you know what you're doing, the game gets fun really fast. Once one person knows what he's doing, it's (presumably) easy to guide the other players through the game without them having to worry so much about the rules. (Another reason why a DM might not be a bad idea.) Anyway, that's that. PM me if you want to talk about it more. (Or start a thread, if others want to join in, too.) That sounds cool. Might be good for a multi session ongoing thing. Back to the Topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Got my Miria 1J along with FIguarts Shenron and EX Pisces. Of course I had to open the big dragon first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Nice purchases Anubis! Esp the Sheng Long! Sorely tempted to start collecting the Dragonball Figuarts, but I can't afford to start collecting a new line. Also digging the God Cloth Pisces Aphrodite. You a Pisces? Or are you collecting all the Gold Saints? I'm a Libra myself. Managed to snag a pre-order of God Cloth Libra Dohko from HLJ. It seems he's in high demand because he has the weapons and gripping hands of all the Gold Saints. I'm just after the Libra Saint though.

SpaceCowboy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 That Shen long is awesome. Though they really should have forced you to buy 7 figures with little dragon balls with them to make him. It's the one time I would really be in favor of a build a figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all 12 original cloths and ive gotten 11 of the gold God cloths. Im a Virgo and double up on those because i want the figure as well as the object mode on display. Gemini is another one of my favorites because its the one i remember the most as kid when I watched the show. 29 minutes ago, Slave IV said: Wow, I didn't realize it was that big!

Yea the box is huge and its also heavy, so dont be surprised when the shipping bill is higher than what you expected. I got hit with a 10K bill for all that from AE and it surprised me thinking Shenron was a figuarts and couldnt be that heavy but it was.

I just checked at HLJ and it's 1580 to ship by itself SAL...not too bad. I'm waiting to add a few more things to the shipment before I have them send it out.

I have the normal cloth ex Libra as well and all that diecast armor makes for one seriously impressive figure. All those weapons and extra hands for the rest of the Saints can only make me wistfully imagine how awesome having all of them together must be like, especially the God cloth versions.

You'd be surprised to know I only have 2 gold saints on display. I dont have any space But i bought them as they came out because they skyrocket in price after release. Some day i'll display them all together. Right now I have gold Gemini and Virgo along with Surplice Gemini, Cancer, and Capricorn on display. Bronze saints I have all 5 on display along with Athena.

I think he was one of the craziest ones that was a city or like one of those slot remote controlled cars with an actual track in his other mode. I forgot his name and need to look him up. I think this was one of the last vintage Transformers I ever purchased because he was so crazy big. I got him around the time of those small jets that combined into the big robot.

HardlyNever Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 On 10/23/2017 at 9:20 PM, ScrambledValkyrie said: Wow -- isn't that more than the entire SDF-1 had? I keep thinking about getting one, but I don't really have the space to display it. "Though mass-produced like the other destroids, only two Monster Mk II units were onboard the SDF-1 Macross during the outbreak of Space War I. During the conflict, the Macross onboard factories made use of equipment for several more Monster mecha and produced a third unit to accompany the original two. Most of the other Monster units were destroyed by orbital bombardment from the Zentradi fleet. The few Monster Mk II units aboard the SDF-1 Macross distinguished themselves as very capable war machines during Space War I. While many destroid units suffered heavy losses, most of the Monsters aboard the ship remained in active service during the war. Near the end of the war the Monster was distinguished yet again by utilizing the capability to launch reaction warheads in battle against the Bodol Zer Main Fleet in February 2010." Taken from the Macross Mecha Manual monster page. Kind of confusing to me. I can only assume "unit" in this case used in the military sense (like a group of soldiers)? And not unit = 1 monster mecha. And I would recommend getting one, I just got one last month, and the shear size is awesome. They can fit in a detolf if you angle the cannons upward.

brouken Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Man, I really want a Monster, as well as the rest of the Destroids. Gotta stay focused though and complete Delta Platoon first. I’m already getting sidetracked by a lot of things I didn’t plan on getting, of which the Premium Finish SDF-1 is the biggest. I hope Arad and Chuck comes out after April next year...
