Ninja Mate Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) And CBMM, sorry to hear about your bad experience. I used to frequent one in my mall, and the employees were fairly nice, but then I was mostly buying toys and knew what I wanted and where it was. are these going to be a new tooling or basically, Halo 2.0? ...Are you asking if we're re-using Halo tooling for this? Or suggesting that Halo re-used a lot of tooling? I guess the latter is true, but any re-use in Halo was for color variations, and it used Halo-specific parts -- I don't think we re-used any from other lines. Fairly certain this line will be all (or mostly) new tooling. It's about 50-50 alien-human, and some of the aliens have new head sculpts. Some have more skintight uniforms and clothing that is not sculpted, of course, but many of the armor pieces are not ones we can take from elsewhere. Yeah just asking if Halo is going to be reused for Mass Effect. Glad to hear it's not! I dont mind reuse of parts, just so its not wide spread that lines start blending together. Thanks!

youbastards Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm excited for the weapons from this line, I was never a big fan of the games, but I always thought the designs of the armor and weapons were top notch. Zach, any chance of a mini Normandy or Mako? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 This thread is aready such a magical place of wonderment! Zexion: - Are you disappointed that a line you want to collect is blind bagged, or that it is not a line you want to collect, or that it will not be at your store? Honestly curious, I just don't get how anybody can be disappointed so soon after the announcement of a new line nobody knew was coming. (To reiterate, this is not the new line I have been saying would premiere at comic shops for Halloween Comicfest.) Part of it is the property. Mass Effect never hooked me, and I always found it boring. lol I would have preferred KOTOR 2 ( I know, lol). I just don't like Bioware in general. Even then, if the accessories and stuff were good, I would have been fine, but blind bags and boxes kill me on the inside. Though if anyone ever wanted, I'd be more than happy to pick up stuff for international fans, lol. I have like 4 gamestops on the same road I live on. Thanks goodness this isn't the Halloween one, thanks Zach for freezing my dissapointment lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinte fathom Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm excited to see photos of these, mass effect is a great trilogy with plenty of options available, both DST and customisers will hopefully get a lot of fun out of this license, considering the diverse characters, surely we will see a wealth of new tooling for the alien races as well as the sci-fi/ future weapons. if we get any krogans at all I'll honestly buy multiple and repaint them.

DSTZach Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I am not a gamer by any means, and I mostly know the looks of the characters through merch and comics, but I can't imagine we could use Halo parts for anybody, even if we wanted to.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I am looking forward to this line. I still need to finish Mass Effect 2 someday when I have the time. I just better get an alien stripper in one of the waves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I hope the blind bag format doesn't mean these will be too short on accessories. Some of the characters would be fine with just one weapon but others could really benefit from an extra. Shepard especially could use additional accessories: multiple weapons, open and closed helmets, or even an extra head (I doubt that's likely in single packs) would be welcome.

TENIME_art Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My best friend is a manager of a Gamestop. As long as a full set is in a case, I am so in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I bought the Trilogy a couple of days ago and I'm 8 hours into ME 1. Man, am I excited for these! I'll try to army build every race (it's going to be hard, but oh well) especially the Geth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I talked to a rep at Gamestop today and they are definitely available to pre-order now, and they can ship to home for free. You have to pre-order by the pack though, so those that want a full case might be better off not having them shipped and just picking up at the store.

ElGallo21 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am really excited about these mates for the new tooling alone. While I'd prefer to pick these up from Luke's, I think it's cool that gamestop is them. And as far as blind bags are concerned, I haven't been able to turn them down yet.

TENIME_art Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I will absolutely be offering my duplicates here at the very least, and would have no problem seeing what I can do for more, as long as they're paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Any videogame released after 1992 is garbage that I hate. But, still curious to see how these turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Any videogame released after 1992 is garbage that I hate.

Politician Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together came out in '95, there's your winner. But yeah 'ME' is one of the only new properties I'm looking forward to, I hope we can see some control art or something by SDCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obv these are early production samples right? They're a little rough but I'm all in, they look spot on and I'll be enduring gamestop just to get these.
