No update this week, I guess this weeks card didn't get finished in time....

Ok, so more cards. They've apparently finished sculpting but no previews?

Wish they had pics of the sprue that's mentioned.

I'm pretty happy with card pics.

But then, I'm a crappy amateur and will be happy if my figures don't fall apart and catch fire the first time I field them, so what the sprues look like and more model pics aren't nearly as intriguing to me.

Also, we had all that Gencon prototype porn for sculpt hints.

Do you want my extra cards when everything is delivered? I might, might get to play the actual game in 8 years or so, but I probably won't need the extras from the Biohazard pledge.

The minis are what brought me to the yard.

I prefer real women

Shoot, anybody who does not want their cards I will take them and use them!

Not sure if I posted this here yet. Started a new Tactics Facebook Page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1440349382851175/

I just uploaded the Invid stat cards and REF ones are about 2/3rds done. I'm still playing with how to handle Shadow Fighters and Invid Protoculture Sensors. I also need to decide how to handle when a Alpha and Beta are combined.

Wonder what card they'll show tomorrow? If there is an update tomorrow. I would like to see sprue pics.

No idea, likely some more Destroids or Arty Regults, something already seen in a tournament. Maybe the stats for a Zentraedi Squadron of some sort?

Thanks all who have joined the FB page. It's gone to over 25 members in 4 days.

Just added the majority of the REF stat cards to the FB page

Look, Arty is a child's name. Can we use his proper name of Arthur Regault the Third. Sheesh, after all the efforts put into getting the birth certificate right, you'd think people would be more conscientious.

... sorry, just one of those things, like people who prefer 'shottys and nades' in their FPS's.

I'll be fine.

As for the update? Having now seen 1 Zentraedi card and 2 for the RDF, another Zentraedi card would make sense. I'm still hoping they include a character or two in this one, though a recent update mentioned something about the characters being under review from HG still, and we all know what THAT means.

Ahh, here it is: "The Character Cards are done and have been submitted for approval to Harmony Gold." And that was on Nov 22nd. Call it a hunch, but I doubt they approved however many dozens of characters there may or may not be in just 5 days.

Jeez, at least show us pics of the HG folks working to get the cards approved.lol

By the way I'm ebaying my macross pencil sharpners minis for those that missed it.

There... happy now? HG hard at work.

If you worked at HG would you be in any hurry to take a look at something Palladium staff have been dry humping all week?

I guess not.

"What is this why I don't even... I need a stiff drink."

"Ma'am, it's 9 in the morning!"

"Latest update from Palladium is in."

"*gulp* Better make it a triple, this is going to be a long one..."

In before the inevitable misquote of "We showed the robotech stuff around the office and everyone made love to it!".

Guess no update. Too bad.

More important update from the local news, because Robotech has been delayed so bloody long it's probably going to arrive on the other side of the federal government lowering the boom on the tax free import threshold, slugging me with an extra 10% in tax on top. If Palladium had been remotely able to get their gak together, which I've now learned to my detriment they are totally incapable of going, it'd be arriving in December tax free.

Some people in a similar situation were saying in the comments that the tax increase isn't supposed to apply retroactively, so while it might be a bit of a hassle to fight them on it, a print out of when you paid for the item and perhaps even the original delivery target might help keep that extra 10% off your order.

It's worth a shot at least.

It's worth a shot but it didn't work for me recently. I preordered an RPG book on Amazon and it was delayed a couple of months.. which overlapped a new state law that forced Amazon to charge sales tax. Despite actually paying for it previously, Amazon charged me yet again for the tax prior to shipping.

Created a few Southern Cross and Invid Standees and posted a few pics

Welcome to my pain the last 20 years. Seriously, I don't think Palladium has EVER hit a projected delivery date for a product and RPG books are consistently delayed for years at a time. I was hoping that with Ninja Division running things it would be different, but for as well run as the KS itself was they don't appear to be doing much better on the actual production leg work. In truth I'm not actually THAT upset over it. Waited those 20 years for a proper Robotech minis game, I can wait a few more. Such is the plight of the Robotech junkie.

Plus its only Macross Saga. Now, if this was the MOSPEADA KS that was so heavily delayed, I'd have had a torch and pitchfork months ago.

Can PB get the rest of the eras out by the end of the decade? I feel like I just made the challenge to land a man on the moon before the decade is out.lol

No idea. We'll see if it'll be worth it for us as customers to have them do additional eras based on the quality of the final product. Going from 3d render to actual plastic model seems to be much more difficult for everyone other than DFG (who seem to be having massive delays but come out with very nice kits so the complaints are kept to a minimum... unlike Mantic who seems to put out variable quality ranging from crap to decent but relatively on time to early). I'm obviously highly critical of Palladium but I'll base any further purchases on my experience with the final product here. They've already in my book got aspects of the rules and the max/miriya gencon debacle against them but those are secondary concerns to the quality of the minis received. The former will affect the magnitude of any future pledges whereas the latter will affect whether or not is there a future pledge.

I did some to scale paper counters and placed pics on the Facebook Page

The outcome of Gerry Harvey's circle jerk was to lower the threshold by March 2014, but this will no doubt be delayed somewhat since the Government tends to move slowly. It gives us three months on these endlessly delayed Kickstarters, though I'm going to be severely fethed off if I end up paying GST on things like Dreamforge that are running over a year late...

Sadly, 10% won't actually make much of the stuff we import priced on a parity to overseas prices.

And RK and others...

Which coincidentally has directly correlation to here.

Soda Pop/Ninja Division seemed to have bit off more than they can chew.

I thought the same thing. I figure RK is running late because of RRT and vise versa.

Yep, with RK they can blame RRT and with RRT they can blame RK. It wouldn't be such a joke if they could deliver one of them
