The SDF-2 is considerably bigger!

Sounds like just the sort whose opinion I value being able to ignore.

just some wierd elitism or something about how ASL is a 'true simulation wargame' whereas x-wing is a boardgame and robotech isn't a wargame because it's not realistic enough. had to point out that all the games that we play are about as realistic as Little Wars or Candyland.

X-wing is a board game? Crap.. I have to email FFG and complain then because they forgot to pack the board in with my game...

I think the SDF you're showing is from a later non-robotech macross series. The contrived robotech SDF-2 was largely identical and never actually shown in the series IIRC. There are some pics of it floating around from a robotech comic though where it's "back to back" with the SDF-1 in the lake that it rests in (which I guess is why you don't see it... yeah... I know.. but that's what they came up with).

Wondering what you guys think of the mk2 monster, trying to decide whether or not to up my pledge, I am at showdown level.

That is the One. The SDF-2 hete was mainly in the Lactosa Saga books. Which there were 2 of, one Red one Blue. It www never shown in the anime but it www suppose to be built and almost finished by the time Khyron has captured Minmei. Also Lisa was going to be the captain snd guey were to go investigate the Robotech Masters if I recall properly. Rick has the moral dilema of going or not due to Minmei finally showing real interest in Jim.

Having seen the rules and Its abilities I would get no more than the 3. I honestly dont see myself fielding all that often. They can take down a lot but They are a one of per Destroid squadron

From my understanding and a message that took them 3 days to answer. It www my motivator to actually support this due to life interrupting how much i clips pledge at one time.

And yet as of 6 minutes ago he seems to be in for almost $3,000. Guess it doesn't really matter in the end?

nah, but he was the cause of some humorous drama when he was canceling his "thousand dollar pledges" and then signup up as a new account and repledging and canceling over and over again. just a random ITG needing attention

Just woke up, and Monday morning just got awesome! An SDF1 model! Credit card=Violated like new altar boy.

I wonder if the veritech pilots crack jokes about "catching space tuna" when cruising the bar scene.

I thought tokens for the 1mil mark was kinda weak, at least they made up for it with the SDF-1 option. The SDF seems like it would have been the much cooler mega target at an even mil.


Its awesome to see the big guy added, I absolutely loved the huge matchbox version I had as a kid.

So I noticed one of the Early Bird Gloval Reports has opened up again and the other 4 still remain vacant as well as the super pledges.

I've also noticed that some folk are complaining about the stretch goals getting lame at this point. I have to say I disagree. Anyone who has Battlecry or above really isn't missing anything needed to play the game it would seem with a decent variety. Heck even the First Contact backers get the command point tokens and some destroids so they have everything they need to play a small game at this point.

With that in mind I've basically decided to avoid the KS comment section as it seems to be filled with nothing but with certain posters having but nonsensical crap to say at this point.

I would just like to hear about the bag. I know a lot of people are content to go and get it later but I'm patient I have to wait until New Years for these models and it will talk some time to get them built and painted I'm fine with the bag coming around Valentines Day when some of them will be ready for storage and transport.

I'm also a fan of Battle Foam, they are not cheap but they do provide a quality product in my experience and 100$ US could be a great deal depending upon the bag itself.

Uhm, the sdf option is just a themed basing set? No actual sdf-1 model.

Only if you don't count the Sdf-1 model.

No not really. The pledge manager will be opened several weeks after the Kickstarter has closed, and will remain open for about one month.

A: We will release a full tutorial on using the optional pledge manager after we have sent out the Kickstarter Surveys. For now, know that we anticipate the pledge manager being available several weeks after the end of the Kickstarter. It will be open for roughly one month.

From the Q and A

They have one of each actually. A basing set and a model.

Ah, must have not refreshed the KS page, my bad.

Makes sense. Oh well i will chalk that up to reading after waking up mistake. It still gives me 3 paychecks to add on with though.

From the Q and A

For those who just want to dip their toes into the Robotech pool, several early bird core set pledges are available for $70.

More freebies with the next goal at $1.275m First Contact gets x1 Quel Gulnau Recovery Pod x2 BC x4 Showdown plus it's added to the Zentraedi Command Pack.

You really should actually read the title before posting because it was updated 45 minutes before your post. Feel free to check the time stamps on your post and the edit.

Sorry got caught up at work. Had to stop typing and go pull a person out of a burning car. My bad. Thanks be being a jack off about it.

FYI, I'll be upgrading my Blitzkrieg Early Bird special to a Showdown in about twenty minutes. So if anyone wants to pick up a Blitzkrieg, just wait.

New to kickstarters, but old time Robotech fan, any chance we will get to the 1,275,000 mark those last few addons look promising.

Certainly we'll get to the resin SDF-1, I've just increased my pledge to include that, and we are under $7.5K away as I type. The ones further away than that, well we are rocketing up at the moment, so it's not impossible.

woot woot upgraded my pledge gonna pick up the SDF-1, like the idea to paint it up and use it as a monument. Where do we get terrain at that scale?

Ooh, random free stuff for the Destroids.

Random free bits is still free bits. I certainly wasn't expecting the recovery pods (especially free to the base game). I hate to sound ungrateful but I think they need to buff the human side more instead of the zentraedi. I didn't do the math myself but someone calculated in the comments on the KS that the zentraedi have an over 50% advantage in both points and $$$ value in add-ons compared to the humans. Since I'll likely be providing the figs for both sides in demos I do locally to drum up interest, I'd prefer them to be as close to equal as possible (or at least within 20%).

For those wondering what the YF-4 might look like transformed, this is the pic that I found. I don't know if Ninja/Palladium is sticking with this design as I can't say for sure from the darkened silhouette so take it with a grain of salt and all.
