Yea, I've hunted high and low and I agree with warboss, that's the best I can think of. Experimental MPA and FPA.

If we can get to 1.1m then I'm set at Reckless + several add-ons.

Need to hit the calculator, but it's going to be costly.

Looks like we've got Ghosts on the menu and the next unlock is doubled lancers and the next previewed unlock is coincidentally the doubling of the ghost pack to 4x per add on.

Well, it's looking like I've got my pledge all wrapped up. $205, Battlecry + Armored Battleoids + 3 more Gnerls + VEF-1/VF-1Ds

The only thing I'm waiting on now is the massive rush with stretch goals falling to the way-side. If anything I've added gets put into Battlecry, I'll probably snag a 4-pack of Ghosts. If not, I'm crazy happy with what's there

Not sure if this has been covered, bit will the character models be any different or do they just get special cards, how would Ricks, VF1-J really be different from the others? Maybe better pose or something?

Rick and Roy have nifty poses and Roy gets a skull molded onto the model.

Kyron and Miraya are more ambitious with removable cockpits.

And it seems others will get cards.

There's word they had to get permission for each model made which is why Breetai, Max and veritech Miraya did not.

SDF-1 is approximately 70-80mm tall and will be on a 50mm base.

Yarg... my wallet.

New stretch goals emerge after getting the Lancer add-on upgrade


Not impressed (personally), but I bet plenty of people will want them. Just a little on the expensive side for me to jump at them.


THIS is exciting! Bought and bought

Arg! ninja'd

Wait..what? How would the SDF-1 even work? That sounds a bit off scale

The characters sound pretty good then. Open cockpits would be interesting.

Are those bases supposed to look like you are on the SDF-1?

Set it off the board about 10 feet and just pretend it's in the distance getting ready to fire.

I think it's meant more as a collector's thing.

That's my thought, maybe an objective marker, but mainly to paint and to have.

I still have my Matchbox SDF-1 somewhere. They'll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Well obviously they could not do it to scale. That would be a Pledge in and of it self. It would be as big (rough math in head so bear with me) as the lego Super Star Destroyer.

As for how it works, meh I dont care really. I just want one so I can paint it and keep. I will get 2 One will be my SDF-1 and the other will be the SDF-2 from the books.

Negative, if it was 1/285th scale it would be almost 20 feet long from tip to tip. The Actual surface would be closer to 18 feet long.

An A.R.M.D. carrier from Robotech would be closer to 4.5 feet long. The carriers on the SDF's arms would be right close to 6.5 feet long. The Lego SSD is about 4 feet long.


I'm going to paint my SDF all chrome and hang it from my rear-view mirror.

If it is Resin, then you might want to move to Alaska to keep it from melting.

fething YES!!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

I'm waiting on the vf-4's. Then it's hey ya!

VF-4s... did not expect to see those.

I now really hope Palladium doesn't wreck good rule design for this game. There seems to be good promise from the preview material...

Looking at how often things are actually to scale you are correct. I was spitballing that and said so

No worries brother, my first spitball had it 14.5 feet.

I upped my pledge to $1000.

I'll have to sell some organs soon.

Wow... you're making up for my below average pledge! Anyone getting the SDF-1? I haven't dared enter the general comments today.. any mention on whether it'll have an ingame effect? (like extra command points paid with in game points or somesuch)

I will definitely be getting the SDF-1. It's the only thing thus far that has forced my hand into breaking my $210 hard limit, bringing my up to $225.

Haven't seen any info other than the size so far.

The comments section is on fire, must be 100+ people commenting non-stop.

SOmehow holding myself to $180 at the moment, may up to $200 for an SDF-1...

(don't tell my wife!)

New art for the Zentraedi Infantry is up on front page.

Have to duck out for a few, damn work pager.

Eh, just give her that old Fokker line about getting robotech in you...

edit: and we've just passed 100k in pledges today. Looks like we'll be getting a free super Valkyrie sometime overnight!

Just watched the Youtube video (#3) I like how they did Variable Modes. Being able to have each VF of my squadron choose their own form will HUGELY increase options!

Anyone else catch this in the comments and get all giddy?

"Trying to get all the stretches up to 2mil laid out right now.
Ya, you heard me. You guys have work to do!

The thing I liike about this pledge manager is that you can (by how they talked about it) add things on as things go on. So in June I can add $200 to my pledge and every month afterwards add more so that I can get what I want. For instance I can get a Recklace and add more and more addons as the months go by.

For those who have funded KS in the past, do the pledge managers run through kickstarter or are they an independent thing? Can you use paypal with pledge managers after the kickstarter is over?

Completely independent.

The payment option from the email update says that you pay through Amazon and it will update from what you paid last so if I paid $200 on the 20th and in June decide to up my pledge to $500 then it would charge me just the $300 remaining. I like the concept!

It would be about this size, probably bigger I think.

Holy crap I would have loved to get my hands on one of those.
