Edit2: already past $525k as well, next is six more Z putties at $545k which is alright but kind of a weak stretch goal at this point imo

It just passed the $545k goal a few minutes ago. They haven't updated yet to show the next goal, but I figure one of the next two will be 6 more Mastodon troopers to round out the extra foot soldiers.

This is the first thing I've ever Kickstarted, been on the fence for a few games here and there but I just couldn't pass up something Power Rangers related. It's been pretty cool seeing how this sort of thing works, and the folks at Renegade have an awesome social media team that really interact with the fans/backers, and they've said multiple times that they're listening to the feedback and suggestions. I'm still holding out hope for Ivan Ooze at this point, they've said it's on the table and they know people want him.

Their team is really nice. The lead designer was at PMC and was observing the demo tables and listening to feedback and suggestions from the fans. I am really optimistic about the game itself based on what I played. The miniatures and game boards are as advertised. It all seems really well executed.

They've been hinting that the next stretch goal before Lauren will be Rocky, Kat, Adam, and Aisha. Whether it's just cards or brand new figures remains to be seen.

Edit: And our suspicions we're true. $585k for cards representing those four with new unique abilities to set them apart from the originals.

Aaaaand the Kickstarter is over (more or less). Lauren was the final stretch goal and the $600k mark has been passed. All that's left is the wait for the final total.

Glad they made it that far, but couldn't justify that much for a giant board game I wouldn't play. (I have enough of those already, thanks.)

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
When the Turbo movie came out, I remember hating Justin and I was 7 years old. Just like when Star Wars came out, I hated young Skywalker too even though I was right in that "Target Audience"

I don't know what was up in the late 90's/early 00's era where every studio decided "Do you know what kids want? It's kids!" as if placing one kid in a group of teenagers wasn't the most grating thing in the world. Big Bad Beatle Borgs was good tho, since it was all kids and not one kid trying to fit in with people 8 years older

The child character is nothing new, though. Like, Battlestar Galactica had Boxy, and that was over 15 years earlier or something. It's always been the lazy way to try to get little kids into something. It's just completely inexplicable in a property which is already massively popular with kids.

It would suck to be Blake Foster in that set. When I was his age I was getting hardcore crushes on older girls, growing up every day surrounded by Katherine Sutherland, Nakia Burrisse, Ashley Cruz and Patricia Lee would be torture.

I've thought about this exact same thing far too much. Imagine your brain and body deciding which of the incredibly beautiful and unobtainable women you're hopelessly in love with, every day.

VvV Zordfights are rad because the perspective tricks work ok on a boxy robot thing.

Not so good on regular suit actors that your brain is very good at scaling.

Everyone giant wasn't cool as hell, because it was the same fight I'd seen a thousand times except with some forced perspective and no weapons.

Yeah, but King Mondo's so bulky he basically has one move, which is swinging his staff.

Everything is CGI Enhanced now so he'd have some transformers Second Final Mode where his shell opens up and it's a buff as gently caress Killmachine with gigaton cannons and laser abs and poo poo.

After being defeated, the Queen rescues him and they turn into Mondo Machina, an Akira-like abomination that wants to absorb all the machine empire for maximum machine dominance and the remaining Royalty Bots aid the rangers to bring then down.

This all happens in the last 4 minutes of the series, btw.

Yeah, the final episode of Zeo was 100% Americian footage. In Ohranger, Mondo died and stayed dead back when the Super Zeo Megazord debuted. The actual final battle of that series (the Megazord fight against Gasket and Archerina) was used in the previous episode, and they both were destroyed in the Sentai version.
