I'm being lazy and copy/pasting a post from Rebelscum. I figured there might be some folks here that don't go to their forums. I hope that's ok...
OK... Received mine today - the box was a bit dinged up from its many travels (It had been lost and found by the USPS...) and there was some minor damage to some of the support struts and I was missing the topper that was supposed to be in the box (I am going to contact 12th Parsec about that but so far their customer service has been stellar, so I'm not worried), but it doesn't really matter. Overall, I am over the moon for these things. Wow. So impressed - particularly so after being so underwhelmed by a recent similar offering. The quality here really shows. At this point, I just wish I could go back in time and somehow have more money to throw at their kickstarter so I could have more of these trees already - you'll see my ewoks are pretty packed in there at this point, so I need more trees. Here are a bunch of photos (please forgive the poor image quality and the general messiness of my room in the background) and then a little more commentary...
First up, some shots of my set-up sans figures...
And now (over)populated with Endor figure goodness...
Now, some notes in random order...
- The small pieces are sturdy (despite some being broken in transit to me due to mishandling of the box) - this is something I was worried about but really does not seem to be an issue.
- The right angles of the base of the trees are not nearly as noticeable in person, in my opinion. That said, a little bit of moss covering at the bottom will probably be in order.
- The 3d print texturing really works for these models, rather than against them - makes the whole thing look more natural.
- I could be wrong, but I think the bridges are now cast resin - they feel very sturdy and don't have the texturing to them.
- They really need a large central platform ala the vintage ewok village. I may spend some time trying to adapt their trees to accept that platform if nothing else.
- I cannot wait until their store is up and running. I want more of these now. I can't say enough how impressed I am with the final project. This is a really really cool modular playset and I hope that they can continue with the Ewoks as well as branching out because I don't think Hasbro could even come close to this product.
