Looking forward to this release....but I wonder why Cyrus\KC is still not referring to it as a "Gnerl Fighter Pod"?  Emailed the question....

It's strange, the Quel-Gulnau is the Robotech canon name for the little salvage ship with arms that snags the Cat's Eye Recon in SDF Macross.

The Gnerl is still the Gnerl.

Packaging for Max.

Ordered all of the KC figures today so I'm going through the older posts to get caught up.  Unfortunate camera angle here: Max looks like he's about to give us a pole dance.

Finally!  I have been waiting ages for this.  I tried to order this and a couple other figures from this line last night but had to ask KC for help completing my order.

"Thank you for your inquiry and interest in our products. May I kindly request that you separate this into two orders? Each order has a weight limit, and exceeding this may result in difficulties with order processing."

I appreciate the prompt and kind note.  Splitting the order allowed me to complete the purchase, but ouch, those shipping charges are painful.

KC Update for Recon Battlepod...

We are excited to announce that the Recon BattlePod will feature the following new designs, enhancing its technological appeal and interactivity: 
 

1. Magnetic Switch Control for Lighting Effects
- The lighting effects for the entire unit, will be controlled using magnetic switches. 
- Users can simply move a magnet to turn the lights on or off, ensuring simple, convenient, and intuitive operation.

2. Cockpit Nightlight Power Supply 
- We are experimenting with dual power supply options for the cockpit nightlight, offering users more flexibility: 
- Battery Power: Allows users to operate the nightlight in environments without external power, making it convenient for display. 
- USB Plug-in Power: Enables users to directly power the nightlight using a USB connection. 
* Limitations: 
- USB plug-in power is only designed as a direct power supply and does not support lithium battery charging or storage. 
- Due to internal space constraints, the feasibility of supporting both power supply options simultaneously is still under evaluation.

That's amazing!  That's almost all my only criticisms of the original Pod!!! (how did they read my mind)

Love the update.  TY!  I received my battlepod and two artillery battlepods on Monday.  I love their size and heft.  My only complaint is that I would have bought 1 more if the S&H hadn't been so outrageously expensive.

Don't I know it.  I've got the tactical pod, the officer's pod, and two fighter pods on preorder.

I’ll say I am not looking forward to the shipping charges and possible tariffs on the kickstarter.

Got in my artillery pods though, and they look good. Makes me excited for the scout pod and the rest of the non-transforming figures.

I hope these upgrades happen, and carry over to the GLAUG as well.
