glane21 Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 BBTS emailed out that the KC Regult preorders are about to be filled. Guess the slow boat made it in.
varitechs Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Great news, I'm happy for you, it's the magic of Christmas 🎉😉
PNW_Sweetie Posted December 26, 2024 Posted December 26, 2024 BBTS charged my card, so should see shipping in the next day
PNW_Sweetie Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Got mine today from BBTS Regardless of my opinion regarding the Glu-ger drama, I really like this toy. It feels super hefty and meaty like a Chunky, well-crafted, and the lit up interior and forward targeting blister LEDs look amazing. Very happy with the Battle Pod.
jvmacross Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Non-transforming Macross mecha seems to be KC's forte....hope to see more in 2025!
jvmacross Posted January 2 Posted January 2 It was about 2 months between the time I received my standard regults and the missile carrier types....by March I hope to be receiving my Regult pilot figs....assuming everything goes "as planned" in KC-land....

The transformation gimmick can and always will be something a bit complicated and for older designs like the VF -1, filled with compromises that a non transforming robot isn’t held back by.

Well, looks like I'll be saving more money going forward, as I don't like to settle on articulation if it is achievable at a particular scale.
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 I just got a shipment notification from KC about my 2 Artillery Battle Pods. I was kinda hoping it was something else like the GBP armor. ...

My only concern now is that this second run is being financed by the funds from the recent kickstarter.....guess we won't really know until March to see if their proposed 2025 release schedule will be adhered to....
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 (edited) I hope that everyone who got in on the kickstarter gets what they put in for. Still stinks of a ponzi scheme.. let's all hope I am wrong. Edited January 6 by Stampeed Valkyrie
jenius Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I wish KC operated more like a regular store. My artillery pods still haven't shipped. I ordered them right away when they went up for PO, I wonder what the delay is? Also, it seems oddly silent since the kickstarter completed. You'd think there'd be a big push to acknowledge the kickstarter's success and try to capitalize on the momentum... not go radio silent.
Corrinald Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Hopefully they are busy working on production and not running off with everyone's money

jvmacross Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The Max fig was the next up....was set for Dec 2024, but KC hasn't met release dates in quite a while....I will wait until end of January until I feel I need to reach out to them for an update....
jenius Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I saw some pics of the Max figure on FB so I'm guessing a few have leaked out to buyers.
jvmacross Posted January 12 Posted January 12 good sign I guess.....much too early to panic, at least for the Kickstarter lot...
jvmacross Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Sooner, I'd worry about the M&M Arcade 1A's and GBP set....who knows how much longer those may have been pushed back to make good on the Kickstarter items....
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 Opened up my "Artillery Pods" version, the missle packs themselves are extremely light. I'll post some pictures up later when I get a chance. I am still waiting on the other version which is on its way. I'd be tempted to say that the Regults KC put out are the best product to date.. however I am still partial to the SD stuff.

Pontus Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Max will be shipping soon. Just got an email from KC asking me to confirm my address.

They really did a terrible job on it Boots look too big....face looks pudgy....glasses seem to be lacking sufficient blue tint....hair looks too wild...not sure if second hair piece may be better...would have preferred more skin-toned extra hands....don't care for the Michael Jackson look.... I think two of their prototypes had better face and hair sculpts....can't find the pics though....and the original all plastic pilot figure was the best one.... Still getting it though.... Some pics....not sure if the Millia is a kit.... https://www.passion4fun.com/rilasciata-la-advanced-action-figures-series-di-max-sterling-della-kitzconcept/#google_vignette

PNW_Sweetie Posted January 15 Posted January 15 If that’s the final production piece, it’s not looking anything like the pre-order pics or the above one in his flight suit. Hard pass.

Radioguy Posted January 15 Posted January 15 The original prototype looked so much better. Not so bummed I skipped the metallic 1A 2 pack with him now. Still would like to own those, however...
jvmacross Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) KC Max fig.... So basically everything I disliked from the preview pics...I still dislike with it now that I have in in-hand.... Additionally, the hands seem off...like too large for the fig...they are also difficult to remove and install...the gun in the pics is from the Hikaru fig.....without it every hand included just looks odd....and the weirdest accessory is a video game controller....guess a sort of homage to the video game scene in the show...I think a container with his video game tokens would have made more sense.... The only the face that I have installed is "ok"...the other 2 just don't seem right for his character.... This is easily the worst Macross fig release from KC....I don't regret the purchase, but hope that their next release...the Zentran figs...will make up for it....time will tell....
