Soul Samurai, are you buying in? Not the main box as I really don't need a crap-ton more minis; I'm already struggling to manage the stuff I have, and I kind of already have almost all the Monpoc minis that I want for now. I'm thinking about getting the "veteran" pledge, but I'm on the fence; I suspect I might go through some job and location changes in the next year so I don't know if I'll still be playing Monpoc by then.
I'm also suffering indecision paralysis because of the Infinity Tag Raid kickstarter that's running at almost exactly the same time. I don't play Infinity, but I do love the models and have a number lying around, and every time I see those amazing studio paint jobs I feel "The Itch"...
By the way, I realise we haven't spoken enough about that Kickstarter promotional video, with the monsters stomping around the city. That was pretty fun eh?
I haven’t actually watched the videos. I figured the MonPoc KS would be just right for you. You don’t need to paint the models, but you get all the stuff you could possibly need to play with your local group, right? Though I guess if you’re about to move and/or change jobs, that’s something!

I was wondering how long it would be before you showed your face around here and got on your tired “PP costs too much / PP is awful for reason X” horse. I had a lengthy reply typed up, addressing your overt and implicit criticisms point-by-point, but I just tossed it. There’s no point. Mike, please try to keep it civil and respect other poster's opinions even if you disagree with them. There aren't many of us left around these parts, lets value the few of us who are still here. I am fine with people having opinions. I am not fine with 50% of somebody’s contributions being, essentially, “PP is awful, they are the worst, their products cost too much, X is so much better, did I mention PP is the worst.” The perpetual stream of negativity — especially from people who self-acknowledge that they do not play these games any longer — is poison for the people still actively involved in building a positive community.

I haven’t actually watched the videos. Check out the main video, it's a fun little promo animation. I figured the MonPoc KS would be just right for you. You don’t need to paint the models, but you get all the stuff you could possibly need to play with your local group, right? A year ago or so it would have been amazing for me. But now I've pretty much got everything I need to play - at least for a while - and all I need to do is get it all painted (my goal for Monpoc is to only put fully-colored models on the table to make the game as attractive as possible for newbies). I've let my local gaming group know about the kickstarter and what a good deal it is, but I think I'll personally continue to buy individual models from PP when I see something I need, and maybe I'll pick up the 4-player box next year when it hits retail or something.

Holy crap. It’s about to hit $650k. And still 8 more days to go. Impressive. I see now that the "unlocked stretch goals" graphic has "only for X" next to the more recent goals; looks like they only started adding it partway through. So the Assault Apes, for example, are only in the Apes/UCI box. It doesn't specify for the Ape Bombers, but Kondo IS in the core box so it could go either way? I dunno. It probably says it somewhere in the text or any update or something.

You were right; that was a really cool video!

Geez. It’s on the cusp of $800k, and there are nearly 1,000 people at the $1 pledge level. If they convert to the incoming “All In” pledge… This thing might have a shot at a million!

Wow! The board game seems to be getting Anglax before the hobby game!
It also seems to be a convention-only model like Grizzi, assuming “our eshop” doesn’t literally mean “Mythic’s eshop”. Hmm.
