So it looks like we will get the whole Bucks Team with some dio pieces. Not bad at all.
Really intrested in the story...hope they will post it soon.
Or several little ones.

Than I have no idea why we get such a big boxes for a 1/18 figures.
They look about the same size as the boxes for the Sol Commander and Agurts figures to me, which isn't to say those aren't pretty big. But I'd rather have too much packing to prevent damage than too little.
I can't wait for these, the Stronghold and Speeder Mk II are cool, but the Speeder Mk 1 and the Laurels are sooooooo much cooler.
I am thinking worker Laurel has potential outside of the AR world with the Aliens stuff coming out.

I agree. I think a lot of the ARW stuff would look great in the Aliens Universe. Future Terminator world as well.
Question... maybe I missed it, but... all these toys and things seem to be connected. Like, part of the same army. But... who are they fighting? You can't have the Rebel Alliance without the Empire... can't have GI Joe without Cobra...
Soil Ghosts, but they don't seem too keen on actually making figures of those. They sure love the fucking Laurel, though. must be half-a-dozen variants planned for that thing.
Looking at them again, I can see why. Very little parts reuse on characters that have unique mutations.

they need to make a graphic novel or "encyclopedia" or something to explain this story and world. it's too damn confusing right now lol
Hey, guys. I've been lurking a little while and finally decided to join your forum. Hello!
I think the Acid Rain figures are pretty damn sweet. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet (50 pages is a lot to go back and check) but I wish there was a way to get them to maybe knock the pricing down a bit more (50% would be fair) by selling the figures and vehicles/hardsuits unpainted. I mean, most people are going to want to paint them on their own anyway.

I cancelled my pre-orders on these a while back, because at the current price point, I wouldn't justify buying enough to do anything cool with them. One or two figures for the novelty of it are just likely to sit around.
That being said, if anyone bought mutables of the Winged Victory set and wants to unload a spare statue, let me know.

OK silly question. What's the name for the collective army of the Acid Rain World? Do they have a collective name?
That's a tad problematic for my contest entry storyline lol. I guess I'll have to come up with a name for my mech now.
Yeah, it's a tad cryptic. According to the "map", there are 3 main countries: Omanga, Gafia, and Agurts. There's also the desert where you'll find the Soil Ghosts.
Omanga - After WWII, Omanga has developed nuclear technology and started to use nuclear plants to generate power. With the experience that nuclear power is far more efficient than fossil energy, Omanga has expanded the use to an unprecedented level. Finally its first generation nuclear plant at the north exploded in an accident and released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere. This catastrophic disaster has resulted half of the territory of Omanga and some of the neighbouring states were contaminated. Most of the populations at the north moved to the south. With resources pressure, Omanga has become more aggressive and started its invasion to the border of Gafia.
Gafia - Gafia is an inland state between Omanga and the land of soil ghosts. Facing the invasion from Omanga towards its border, Gafia’s central government adopts an appeasement policy. In contrast, people living in the border are fighting rigorously against Omanga’s invasion. This contrast has torn the state apart and regional conflicts always happen.
Agurts - Zamaii is the only Agurts town so far to be hit by acid rain. Agurts, the notoriously backward country somehow did not manage to exploit its fossil fuel sources. Only two portals connect it to the rest world: its southern coast along the Mediterranean Sea and Zamaii in the north. The mountains have served as a natural shield against pollution and contaminants from the outside word. The country has relied on natural sources of energy. As a result, over the past three decades, Agurts has become an oasis in a world, slowly being destroyed by pollution. Small excerpt about the township in Agurts called Zamaii. The heavy rainfall has continued for over a month. The sky looks the same at all hours. It’s impossible to tell day from night. The acid rain on the ground slowly gives rise to a layer of fumes. The corrosive stench seeps its way through the gas mask’s filter. It feels like hell… It is hell. This is Zamaii, a township situated at the border of agricultural Agurts. Nearly 500 years old, Zamaii was once renowned for its metal, chemical, timber, and textiles industries. Now it’s a ghost town. Derelict buildings and rubble are all that remains, interrupted by the occasional ornate rooftop statue, eroding under the acid rain. For the troops stationed here, these last remnants of the township’s former glory merely provide cover. Two soldiers have taken position behind one of these monuments.

Going on the blurb about location and "da map", it would seem that Agurts takes up parts of Greece, Macedonia, Turkey and Bulgaria.
I'm more inclined to force the figures and vehicles into context of the real world, using real nations, or "feasible" fictional unions/empires.
