Nice to get a last hour update on the battlefoam bags, but I'm still not biting. With this many models, and knowing that it might be weeks or months after delivery before we even get to play it (assembly time, etc), and given what my local store sells their Malifaux bags for, I suspect i'll be able to get one for basically the same price, but when I need it (not sitting on my credit card for half a year or more) and can make an informed call on whether to bother with their trays, or just order some 40mm base standard ones, as the regular 30mm rectangles have served me well with my current game.

Ugh just checked the bank and looks like I won't be able to get Battlecry after all. I can fund at the basic level and increase after the kickstarter to get access to what I want at a later date, yes?

Yes, for approximately a one month period after the Pledge Manager comes out.
Quick, snap up one of those cheap early birds that's open! 5 at the moment!

Oh, I'm in for a Showdown to cover most of my needs, a MAC II because I want several hundred tons of lumbering artillery at my beck and call, and a box of Armoured VTs.
I couldn't let those two pass, and the BC tier is a simply absurd pile of figures at this point.

I dunno, it was called as stalling out a bunch of times in the comments.
*facepalm*
I really should follow my rule about not reading comments.
Also, I noticed that Kicktraq is now displaying "comments per day" as a statistic.
I suspect this will end poorly, as campaigns with 'enthusiastic' backers will start just spamming unrelentingly to get a 'good number' and make it seem like their pet project is being talked about heavily.

Subject: Robotech Kickstarter Funded at $1.44 Million!
I went in for a Battle Cry, a MAC 2, an SDF 1 (to go next to my Optimus Prime on my desk) and some extra Gnerls.
I am really looking forward to this and having fun with these models. I grew up on Palladium games and Robotech, so this was like a fistful of nostalgia and couldn't resist.
I hope so too swabby. Years ago I converted robotech into Heavy Gear and just recently came up with x-wing stats for veritechs as well so I know I'll be playing games regardless but I do indeed hope they come up with some solid rules for the actual Robotech game as well (I'm looking at you, LOS and close combat!).
So... for a simple battlecry pledge you get 96 minis (counting each veritech mode model as a separate mini) for $140 coming out to $1.46 per mini and the minis all are terminator sized and up. Not too shabby at all!

Well the demo they showed reminded me a bit of Warmachine, or what I've played of it so it seemed solid enough, or at least familiar. Either way they've got some time and a boatload of cash to figure it out.

And nearly double the Dark Vengeance set for only a little bit more. Of course you can't compare a kickstarter prize to a retail box really but considering I would have broke down and bought it for the minis anyway once seeing it make it to a shelf getting nearly 100 is pretty good. Not to mention it included a number of items I would have picked up anyway.
