my Super fighter i'm working on:

Gosh-darn.
Bite the bullet and buy the stuff then a "sale" happens.

Got parts for 4 Supers today!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Got 6 Gnerls, a Synchro Cannon, and parts for 2 of the super/modified Defenders on order too.

Wow.. so many of you at the same time... If I were a palladium deep cover spy (*wink*), I'd be harboring some suspicions that this was a group order of sorts and not all of you individually casting somehow identical parts for personal use in your geographically separated basements and garages. Either way, good looking stuff!

well most likely the super parts are made from molds of the "con" exclusive super, as to the other stuff there are slight differences between designs.

When one is banned from the PB forums and the Kickstarter comments... what else do we do for RRT?
Positive action toward having a pretty game to call our own.

In regards to the suspicion of all this work happening at once: certain pieces become available, then shipping happens, then a few days or weeks to pump out the work. They would happen also around summer time so the various nasty fumes can be handled outside.

Still have no viable Armored VT yet.
My model kung-fu is much hated by my friend's 3D printer.

well my Armored I was working on was not what I would call great, about same time I cancelled my 3D design program (expensive, but good)

I guess one good thing about this colossal cluster is that I've been able to go to a local store and buy extra expansion sets for $12-15 Canadian on a whim for the last 6 months. The stock hasn't changed except for what I've taken since they put it on clearance, so I've been in no rush.

My local store is extremely slow adding stuff to clearance. They have an unchanging stock of RTT, DUST Tactics, and even Starship Troopers, all taking up shelf space at full MSRP.

Brookhurst, War House, or both?

Brookhurst. Where is war house?

War House is on WIllow in Long Beach. It's the one that feels like you're in an old-timey adult bookstore, not one of the newer "couples-friendly" stores.

Brookhurst, I'll wait for Thanksgiving. First, if I'm still interested. Second, because everything goes on sale at that time. Last year, Brookhurst moved some RTT sets - there were more on the shelf when I arrived, than when I left!

Sale? Where?! XD
I'm dreaming for a 20% disccount sale like previous month in shapeways. Those new Gnerl models look soooo sexy!

Could someone enlighten me about the disccounts trends that shapeways offers? Is any coming in the near future?

Brookhurst Hobbies....used to ride my bike there when I was a kid and before they moved to the new location.

Wait a minute. In that lawsuit facebook page I see NMI listed as a member. Since I doubt hes going to sue palladium I have to wonder what his intent is there.

To report the names back to Kevin?

Wondered the same thing... also seen him in Nodal Wars Group... ?

Well, yesterday I kept working on wave 2, moar supervalk bits and managed to cast the QR's backpack

Pretty excited with the result!










PS: Also received yesterday some goodies from shapeways!



oh yeah!
Thanks to Talizvar for sending me these printed models!!

Not necessary, the group page lists people's names as it is, no need to be a member.

Still, good job at maintaining privacy/security there, gents. :-P

While I agree that it is an odd inclusion, trying to exclude him would be relatively pointless. He could just sign up using a fake name like Donald R. Obama and whoever is in charge has no way of verifying that person is a backer.

Nesbet:

That looks really cool.

The most obvious spy in the world.

I think he just has a driving need to be involved in all things Palladium.
He cannot help himself.
Plus, I bet Kevin holds NMI accountable for keeping him informed on all things "interwebs" especially people getting together to sue him.

here is my Super valk Fighter being done.

as to why NMI is allowed in the lawsuit group? its simple he is a backer to exclude him would be unamerican, and maybe even against the law (debatable) but he is still a backer so is allowed to join. that and I am not NMI. I don't kick or ban people because they do not agree with me, that would be very petty of me.

A much needed UEDF unit when all the Wave 2 "unseen" Zent. units come on-line.

Not "keep your friends close, your enemies even closer"?
Plus if you did not include him it would be a slippery slope of deciding on the irritating, the opinionated or the banned as well.

"He's an enemy spy!"

Right, but the whole conceit about it being a closed group was to keep things private.

Letting a PB forum mod into said group, and without even making them jump through the hoops to create or borrow a believable alt account, is just silly.

Sure, group owners can let whomever they want in, but if the goal was to keep their objectives and efforts on the downlow, specifically from Palladium Books, this seems like failing at the first hurdle of "not let a friend of the company we're trying to sue into the group".

Or do we now need a second PB Lawsuit group to keep things out of the first group's line of sight?

Groupception!

Assuming the group will produce any results like the last 20 times people tried to put a lawsuit together.

One thing that always bothered me with the Super is that since RRT used strict Main Body MDC for the conversions the Super takes the same amount as the normal VT. I added 3 points to mine for my own rules.

Forar -

I'm having an interesting talk with Kickstarter right now. Can you repost your running count please?

Excellent, keep us apprised of the results. Movement is always a good sign as long at we don't continue to sit still.

Oh, I don't really expect anything to happen (been far too long on that already) but I figure it's at least worth a swipe.

If the reason for keeping the new group closed is the same Mike had for keeping the original group closed, it wasn't because he wanted to keep it private from the general gaming populace but rather from spamming his own feed (or whatever it's called) with little pew pew toy soldier cartoon robot posts that his acquaintances, coworkers, and even employers would see.

edit: the above assumes that mike is leading the second group as well.

What if I were to refer to the second group as "The Tsunami Second Coming" group?

How about "Sons of Tsunami" or "SOT" for short.

How about Association of Wargamers Against Siembieda's Treacherous Evil?
