  1. I do like their weirdly named Gnerl. I did back their campaign, but in just looking over the way the Kickstarter is setup, I think anyone with some sense of analytics could tell this is born to fail. Offering a number of different figures, and various larger mecha in one shot is a lot for people to figure out. It's also a bad time to have something like this, considering people are also buying gifts for family and their significant others and all that. I'd actually buy everything they are releasing, but when some of those have a proposed release date of September of next year, yeah, that's a bit too long. They should've just did it for the figures, and maybe even half of them, and with the amount of money they've raised so far, if we were dividing that money into the amount of products, they'd have enough to at least release 1/3 of it. They need to pull this off, and rethink how they want to do this. Maybe start with the Glaug, and a few of the figures, then the Gnerl with more figures, then then maybe the recon pod with others. Better yet, don't do a damn Kickstarter, as people like me have been burned by them. I only back highly reliable companies now, so I kinda trust this, but even as a backer, if this got funded, I'd be extremely nervous.
  2. Same to you. Updates will be coming at some point.
  3. It's going to be on hold for the rest of the year due to a few things, one being holidays, but the other being school. I'm working on a second degree (for job promotion), so my time in working on projects has been much more limited. That said, I am getting a Revopoint Metro X scanner that I will be using to take care of some of the bulk design features that have taken up a lot of the time. I'll be able to do a bit more of this once I get some of that done, but in the meantime, there isn't much headway with new parts.
  4. That'd be great. There's a lot of members here I have not met, so it'd be great to meet new and old fans.
  5. Thanks for this info. I was finally able to order this through Buyee. I have it set as an extension on my home computer browser, but still had to put in the link. I ordered 2, so now it's just a waiting game.

    DX VF-27 Revival

    This, I'd be happy to get one, but I'm not so sure about the Tornado pack. I already have that from the Renewal version, so Revival version is very unnecessary. AND I already have a revival version. I don't need two of the same thing. But this, I'm looking forward to.
  7. I'll have to buy this when I get home. I'm not getting any options to buy using Buyee, so I don't know if that's the work computer or not. Either way, I'm glad this is coming.
  8. Or make it a yard long drink, and every time you sip, it's like firing the main gun.
  9. LOL, I'd love to make a Regult popcorn bucket...... Wait.... ideas incoming...
  10. Just to clarify, it wouldn't be official memorabilia, but just something given as a thank you for meeting up type of thing.
  11. I think someone is already looking into this, so it depends on how many we can seat, price, time, and how the list works. I think we just add people to a list, so if we can get this set up, we'll start rolling with it. Just out of curiosity, there's a couple ideas floating around. First is doing it in conjunction with another event to maximize people that'd like to go. It'd also help the event we piggyback off of. OR... We just do this separate and a loan project, in which it'd be local to SoCal, and those that are willing to travel, but it'd be it's own thing. In either case, off hand, if you had an opportunity to go to something like this, maybe even get a cool few little event memorabilia, how much would you be willing to pay for that (not knowing how much the theater cost)?
  12. This is something I'll probably look at doing next year. I'd like to see this done. There's a few people looking at doing something in a new format for next year, so if they want to do this, I hope to look at them to organize this. The issue that I think was brought up was that since it's not something that anyone has done, we'd need to figure out a way to cover the expenses. We can't charge at the box office (at least I don't think so), so however that works out, we'd need to figure out seating capacity, and find a way to make it work. It wouldn't be a business doing it either, so we'd need to make it a thing that works to cover the costs. @Shawn, I think someone, if not myself, will probably get in contact with you soon about this idea. When you mentioned it to me at RTF, it sounded like a great idea. I've seen DYRL in theater once in Japan when the blu ray first came out, but that was back in 2014. It'd be a great time seeing it in that setting with a bucket of popcorn and a soda.
  13. This is depressing, but doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility. At Wonderfest this past February, the VF-5000, nor the Minmay figurine wasn't on display from what I saw. Also, all they seemed to have was re-release stuff. There's so much potential, but it's just going nowhere. Has there even been news on the VF-5K? I don't use X.com
  14. I definitely agree that it had things that I missed. It wasn't close to the definitive version, but the cost of that one and this isn't too far off. With that, I felt a bit more at ease being able to eventually pull the trigger on this. It may be sacrilege, but while I'm happy to be seeing this, I'm more excited for the MII release, even if I'm not the biggest fan of Kickstarter funded projects. I am looking forward to some of the cool little additions this will have as well.
  15. I'll second this for a 1/60 version.
