Shoot. I wanted this to fund. I wanted to get a Gold one to go with the upcoming EF Classic KS.
He did leave a message that we may see this again, but in 1/12 scale. I'll be out at that size, but good luck to those that want this at that scale.

I'm sorry that It didn't fund. I'm not surprised at all, and I think most of us expected it to flop. I would have put in, but with Mcfarlane Warhammer, and Classified, I have had to put 1/18 on the back burner for now. Also I understand why it costs so much, but I would be lying if I said that wasn't a turn off. Right now It would be hard to convince me to spend more then 40 on a 1/18 vehicle unless It really kicked ass.
Also the night wolf seemed to be really big for little reason and it looks like it has a lot of wasted space. Over all it seems to be too wide and poorly designed/over complicated. But that's just my opinion

If one of these at 1/18th with shipping and tax runs to roughly $85 USD, I'd hate to reckon what it would cost for a 1/12th version..

This seemed to be Zica's passion as he was pushing this even during Sectaur's wave 2 kick starter. I never felt like his heart was in wave 2 and I'm still pretty bummed it didn't fund. Another example of that would be that he did say this may get revisited but has said many times Sectaurs is dead and will not be revisited in any form. Seems that Zica isn't having a lot of luck.
I am in no way bashing Zica. I've talked with Craig several times on FB and I'm a fan of his company and really want him to do well.

It's clear that a lot of hard work went into this project, and I completely respect the effort, sculpting and dedication involved. For myself, I found that the size and proportions were an issue. Someone on another board described the wheels as "Tractor tires" and that phrase has stuck in my head now whenever I look at it. The overall size of this beast comes in at 14", which means that you've got a troop truck that literally dwarfs a HISS tank.. Or even makes an original MOBAT or Mauler look diminutive.

Unfortunately, shipping would have been too high for me in Canada, plus all the import charges. I would have loved to have one of these.

I understand the cost, but I had a hard time convincing myself it was worth the price tag.
I hope they try to piggy-back on Eagle Force wave 2 - like the Eagle Force Island playset - in which, case I would happily add a gold one to my pledge. |
