Neoscream's Life: 29th April to 5th May 2013

MRX-010 Psyco Gundam (Fortress Mode)

Welcome to the Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of some of the things I have done last week and news on stuff from Crooked Dice Games, Mantic Game and the Geek Goddess AJ Lee.

Monday was my mum's birthday so we went to see my Uncle Jim (my mum's brother) and his family for the day. It was great seeing them all.

On Sunday I started the big clear out of my room as I am a bit limited with time this week. Read the bit at the bottom of this post to find out a bit more information.

Now for the Mantic news. Mantic have been gearing up for their Open Day on May the 11th and talking about Deadzone. Sadly no DreadBall news, but people have been receiving the second shipment on Friday and Saturday. So hopefully I will have it on Tuesday this week with the HeroClix Iron Man 3 Brick. During the week the extra goals that were unlocked were: another alternate Scenery Sprue and an extra scenery Sprue for Recon level and above; an extra item (trooper, specialist or extra arms) for all Faction Starters; a free Deluxe gaming mat for Strike level and above; the mercenary Shadrek Mal-Raz The Helfather; Nexus Psi campaign with four scenarios for Recon and above; a hard plastic game board; and an extra Enforcer with Assault Blade in the Enforcer Faction Starter. The active goals when I went to bed on Sunday night were an extra Yndij hunter in the Reb Faction Starter at $340,000.

Next is Crooked Dice Games news. On Tuesday four new figures have been released. Three of them are the new United Radionics and a new figure called Tiny Templeton who came out of the blue. Tiny Templeton can be used as a generic character to fill in gaps like a Beat Detective.

Now for the RoboTech: RPG Tactics news. Palladium Books managed to fix a problem with European post I did never thought of, VAT/import duties. A problem I never had with DreadBall as Mantic was UK based. Palladium Books have made an arrangement with a local vendor in the UK to ship the European pledge rewards from there. Sadly we still need to post the postage cost as they need to post the pledges to the vendor. This week the extra goals that were unlocked were: both the Spartan and Phalanx Destroids were added to Battle Cry level; two extra standard Destroids have been added to the Starter set; Gnerl fights add on reduced in cost; all Valkyries come with the parts to make them into a VF-01A, VF-01J or VF-01S; Male Power Armours three man add on; the cardboard templates have been replaced with plastic ones in the Starter set; the Spartan Destroid add on was doubled in size; the limited edition Khyron’s Battlepod for Battle Cry backers; adding two Support Battlepods to Battle Cry backers; and adding an extra Valkyrie (all three modes) to Battle Cry backers. The active goals when I went to bed on Sunday night was adding three extra standard Battlepods to Battle Cry at $550,000; the cards will all be laminated at 2,800 backers; one more Spartan and Phalanx Destroids will be added to Battle Cry level at 3,000 backers; and two more Support Battlepods wiil be added to Battle Cry at 3,200 backers.

Now for what AJ Lee has been up to this past week. First off AJ is still number one contender to the Divas Championship as the NXT match did not count. But this does mean AJ is no longer undefeated against Kaitlyn. AJ was on Raw three times. The first time was supporting Big E Langston with Dolph Ziggler. Big E was in a triple threat match against Ricardo Rodriguez and Zeb Colter. The boss of the winner of the match will pick the type of match they will be in for the triple threat match on the Extreme Rules pay per view. Big E was dominating the match, but as it was a triple threat match Ricardo cash in on Big E's destruction. Alberto Del Rio chose a ladder match.  The second time was supporting Dolph with the help of Big E. Dolph was up against Kofi Kingston and like normal Dolph won, but with a lot of help from AJ and Big E. The third and final time AJ appeared on Raw was back stage after Dolph's match. AJ and Dolph bumped into Kaitlyn and Natalie. After a bit of swapping insults a delivery guy appeared with a gift. AJ thought it was for her, but the delivery guy said that it was for Kaitlyn. AJ handed it over to Kaitlyn and walked off with Dolph. The gift was a black baseball cap with metal spikes. Natalie thought it looked ugly, but Kaitlyn loved it as it matches her wrist bands, who it was from never of them knew, but I bet it is from Cody Rhodes.

AJ was on Smackdown this week. During the match between Ricardo and Zeb, Dolph was on commentary with the Goddess AJ on his lap and Big E by his side. I really wish AJ was given a commentary head set too. Jack Swagger interfered in the match, so Teddy Long stepped in and made a tag team match. Ricardo and Del Rio verses Zeb and Swagger. But then Dolph and Big E interfered, so Teddy made it a triple threat tag team match. Ricardo and Del Rio verses Zeb and Swagger verses Big E and Dolph. Del Rio won by applying his cross arm breaker on Dolph.

So that people know, from Tuesday this week (the day I posted this post) I will be on a one week holiday to tidy my room and to go to Campaign like normal this time of the year. I will try to post pictures of Campaign like I did, but maybe only one per Campaign post. Also there is something planned for my Friday, but no one is letting me know what. However it does look like I will not be able to post the MK HeroClix post until Sunday at earliness. That is if it is not cancelled, which I might have to do the way the week is going.

Until next time, armour up.
