Surprised no one has posted this yet. I think it looks pretty cool.

It looks cool, but seems to lack in a little variety. My favorite thing about MFZ is the creativity in the builds and the variety between factions. All this stuff looks the same, which really ruins the spirit of Lego, which is to build your own stuff. If they were making standalone minis, then I probably wouldn't be as critical.

I'd consider the £35 kit, especially with what appears to be free UK shipping. I'd go higher (to the £65 and bag the bonus's), but I've never considered kickstarter much more than a 50/50 chance of the money vanishing into an offshore bank, or the project falling through. If it looks like in a few days the target will be met I'll get one.

I posted it in brikwar chat yesterday. I think it's really cool, but they need studs on them.

Doesn't change the fact that it looks like shit.

Coming from the guy who has that sig, that's a measure of quality.

There's really no buildability there... looks like something Megaboks would have put out 10 years ago.

Image from new update blog. I'm wanting to stick wings onto the back and rockets onto the feet already.

I'll be honest, I liked the setup they built for the presentation, but I really don't care for non-Lego stuff. Call me a purist...I don't need another "scale" for my Lego. I can make what I like, I don't want something more. And for that matter why didn't they pitch this directly to Lego? Seems extremely limited, and the extra stuff that would really make this more interesting doesn't even come in the basic Kickstarter fund...not interested.

Zupp pretty much said it. I'm sure more people interested in the game will critic that aspect so a degree of customization apart from painting should be expected.

Not enough pre-kickstarter development to be really interesting. It is still a damn good idea though.
What it needs is studs on some parts, plus the parts being available in every Lego colour going.
Saying that, the robots would be useful as exo-armour in Brickwars with some 3rd party weapons, so not a total loss...
