IMO, they need to really think that through and coordinate it as a much bigger project like a starter with a new edition of the rules instead of just coming out with something with a plastic GP squad box for each army. My interest in Robotech doesn't mean replace my interest in HG and I'd prefer if both of them were kickstarter successes in the future. Reboot the minis, reboot the rules, and reboot the fluff (preferably to maybe an early post 1st invasion period)... no halfway steps. <br /><br />HG needs a Scifi Channel Battlestar Galactica reboot and not the continuation of the old series that Richard Hatch was lobbying for. Coordinating something like that to release with the new visuals in the upcoming videogame (assuming it gets funded) would be a great idea.SITZKRIEG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05236105506126383773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520041077030819244.post-37755314391699685492013-04-29T12:59:36.839-04:002013-04-29T12:59:36.839-04:00Can we get a HG Plastics kickstarter already?Can we get a HG Plastics kickstarter already?IceRaptorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034880001462386488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520041077030819244.post-28189635326542143462013-04-24T03:18:00.326-04:002013-04-24T03:18:00.326-04:00The man you mention also happens to be a very freq...The man you mention also happens to be a very frequent poster in the Infinity: The Game forums, Matt. Reading his review made me muse over the possibilities, but I gave my own thoughts on my blog.<br /><br />80's childhood nostalgia... is there such a thing as 'turn-of-the-millenium' nostalgia?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816980469395868071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520041077030819244.post-19865404371688378502013-04-24T01:35:23.997-04:002013-04-24T01:35:23.997-04:00It just goes to illustrate that value is very much...It just goes to illustrate that value is very much a subjective thing!

Also, they've apparently stood the test of time quite nicely if the hubbub from battletech fans is any indication. I could see someone who never watched robotech being a bit underwhelmed by the overall look though.<br /><br />As for price, I'd definitely disagree and was surprised that they're offering so much in the starter. 30+ minis for $80? That's a little over $2.50 USD per mini and they're both cheaper and larger than a space marine and definitely much less expensive and larger than even recon Heavy Gear minis that are $8 USD each. The only one I see that is overpriced is the MAC II they just added as a stretch goal. That one should be around $30 but it's a popular model so they're milking it via price and stretch goal for all its worth.SITZKRIEG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05236105506126383773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520041077030819244.post-21086902756581069752013-04-23T02:02:01.902-04:002013-04-23T02:02:01.902-04:00Nostalgia indeed!

I don't think it's a very generous Kickstarter, to me it seems quite expensive for a bunch of plastic miniatures the designs of which are about 30 years old! I'll stick to Heavy Gear for my mecha fix!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728450135657424715noreply@blogger.com
