Im no fanboi but I wouldnt really call that a rant. It is informative and shows a sense of urgency that the P staff and helpers have been applying to ship those orders.

I would expect a similar email from any of the KS I have backed.

Is "I'm no fanboy" your catch phrase? You've used it in both posts I've read.

Keeping my fingers crossed >.< I get the feeling mine will be one of the last ones shipped >.>

Sure?

I just did a search through my posts and from what i can see I have only used the phrase that once. Happy to be proven wrong though if you an find it

I used the term as there has been much consternation in this thread over haters and fanbois and the way people perceive the actions of P, Personally I see the KS as a shamozzle but I still like to try and be balanced when commenting on P press releases/action and I believed that the persons perception of the recent release seemed to be coming from the 'hater' camp. I used the term 'fanboi' to helpfully denote that I am not an instant lover of everything P do or say so that my positive comment on their recent press released can be seen as a genuine comment rather than an instant love/hate reaction

God you're right, it's some other dude, sorry, getting old!

To be honest I'm just happy Kevin's comments weren't about how none of the volunteers could get any work done because the product was too awesome to behold and left them drooling morons!
I still love Robotech, and still look forward to getting and playing this game, but I don't think I'll ever be able to stop making fun of Palladium or take them seriously. But I can separate the two.
C'mon Palladium, I've created a gaming room, received a table from Secret Weapon, terrain from Mantic, just send me the bloody game you boobs!

There's less than half as many SD's as there are BC's, does that mean they'll get sorted and shipped quicker???

1000 RRT packages shipped today! October 27, 2014

Approximately 1,000 packages of Robotech® RPG Tactics™, give or take a couple dozen, shipped today, Monday, October 27, 2014. We lost count after 900 and something.

Specifically they lost count at 980 boxes of the roughly 1000...strange things seem to happen around that number for some reason.

Joking aside, I actually like the pictures I'm seeing. I wouldn't call them the greatest models ever and/or PB putting GW on notice, but adjusting for the nonsense that goes on with 3 groups working over the designs they turned out okay. Just a shame the Marauder is out of scale, but that's not a realistic complaint.

Mine arrived at my buddy's house yesterday.

Now to figure out how to get it past Mrs. Kyoto...

Maybe inside a diaper box.

Make sure you use one of the larger diaper boxes. RRT is pretty chunky.

With skill and finesse lol

Sure. It will also come in handy in case one gets too excited with these awesome toys.

Bottle of wine with some Valium in it?
Taser?
Close your eyes and walk through the house saying, "Can't see me!"?

Bite the bullet for its easier to get hammered by the missus now then later. I can see some haven't been married yet

Not always, I can see some haven't been divorced yet. No smiley.

Man the biggest problem I have here is having to buy his and her armies for every game we get into. I feel for you guys that have to hide your plasticrack addiction.

Tell her you're finally ready for that threesome with the UPS guy she's been going on about all year, then heft the package suggestively past her. Play your cards right, and this could cover a few Kickstarters.

"I cant believe I forgot about this game, I bought it just before we met and you changed my life so much I totally forgot about it and left it a Johhno's place.........until now"

reckon that might work?

'Hefting the package' may quickly prove prophetic...and psyche bruising.

"What can Brown do for you?"

Told wife about this in the beginning.
She did not check the credit card bill then.
When she sees the huge box of plasti-crack she may freak out a bit.
BUT she will not find the charge for it..
Will I survive? Will she find the charge?
Stay tuned...

Well, at least you have a couple of weeks or months to sort out your affairs and update your will.

Every married gamer should invest in one of these:

Got my box yesterday and had a chance to go through it today. I have to say I'm quite happy. The quality of the components seems very nice. Haven't had a chance to more than glance at the rulebook, but it doesn't give me the urge to open a vein. I've been let down by enough kickstarters in the last couple years to be pleasantky surprised when one far exceeds my (albeit low) expectations.

True, the models could have been simpler and less fiddly, but I'll take fiddly hard plastic over un-assembled restic. Some careful packing and I was able to get the contents including the KS wave 1 all into the main box. Some better assembly instructions would have been nice, but I'll survive.

With my current painting timetable, probably won't get to this until the new year. Need to psych myself up and finish painting Deadzone Wave 2 first.

Spoke too soon about not wanting to open a vein from the rulebook. Force cards. Seriously, whose idea was making this the only way to build. Novel idea...How about assigning points to individual elements and then presenting recommended forces, y'know, like pretty much every other game.

The force cards, and more importantly the lack of them really irks me. That info should have been included in the rulebook.

As is if you lose a card you are boned.

It is always easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission...

Or just download replacements, they are working on permission for that or you can use mine until then. It's not like X-wing has them in the rulebook either. I don't think warmachine does.

I've found a few mistakes, especially in the Malcontents who I just barely started playing. If you use them and see any let me know.

X Wing has multiple online list builders and images of the official cards are all over the place.
Ditto Warmachine.
And yes, the fact that there's no central place to look up points and rules for both of these systems is bad. The internet is making up for that downside.
The fact that others do a bad thing doesn't mean it's okay to do a bad thing.
And to be honest, your cards just look bad IMO. I get that you're offering a free service and that's great - but I'd rather not be "forced" to use yours.

Saying "just download replacements" isn't valid because they don't exist (yet).

Meh, nevermind. I'll be labeled a hater and ignored anyway.
