not really interested in game but some of these monsters could have potential rpg use. if the mechanics work,cost is reasonable and the game is simple then maybe i will play it with my kids/nephews | |

| | I'm likely going to snag a starter and maybe a few boosters if the game is interesting. Otherwise I'm just planning on snagging some pre-painted Cthulhu beasties from it. | |

| | I cant tell from the picture. Are these prepainted? If they are I will almost assuredly pick up a few. | |

The Monsterpocalypse CMG will launch with over 80 pre-painted plastic figures in the initial set and will include large-scale monsters, destroyable city structures, and vehicles.
I missed that bit of info the first time reading about the set as well. :) | |

| | Sweet! I'm getting some apocalyptic monsters! I really hope there are some sea monsters mixed in in there as my D&D homebrew world has tons of sea monsters. | |

| | Looks pretty cool. I signed up for the mailing list and hopefully the obvious questions will be addressed soon, i.e. Scale, Price and the one I'm really wondering, will they have actual likenesses of some classics (Goldar, Rodak, Ultraman, Godzilla etc.) or if they will make minis that look close, but enough differences to avoid a lawsuit. | |

| I played this at GTS also. It was fun, and I think the pieces looked pretty sharp (especially the powered up ones (middle right side of the Toy fair pictures, it's the same model as the middle top picture, but powered up). Top right picture shows both forms together (I played that one in my demo).
It's really..REALLY...all about smacking stuff down, especially the buildings, and throwing stuff around (like my opponent did with my monster...threw me INTO a building).
Plus when you destroy a building with a high population you gain life (*burp*)...

| Well, the price is my secondary concern. Whether it's a good game or not comes third.

Just a simple traveler from the swamps of Dagobah otherwise known as Florida. Also known as Hurricane Alley!
I always try to send through delivery confirmation, and I expect the same. It's only 55 cents extra, so it's just a little more than a pay phone call, so just do it for the Kai. I prefer to trade with people in the US and Canada, sorry everyone else.
