Good morning dear pilot,
today we are going to describe the final prototype of MechaTop and also show you some pictures 🥳
The box is "WOW" 🤩
size comparison with 1/144 models
Let's start by saying that the punchboard tokens will arrive already pre-cut (with an industrial machine) and already inserted in their proper location in the internal token holder. Despite its small size, the box contains all the components in a very neat way!
Transformable tokens + effect tokens
Activation tokens + funnel tokens
The button tokens are really nice and stand out a lot on each mat, thanks to the fact that they are printed on white plastic the colours are really bright! 😎😄
As we mentioned in the last update, we're going to sell them separately as well, for those of you who bought the digital rewards but then played the game and realised how important it is to have the original button tokens.
We will be selling them in 2 packages:
- one containing all 50 button tokens from the base set (to control up to 10 units)
We have also added the option of loose cardboard tokens, so that one can buy what one needs.
The dice are also beautiful and as you can see the numbers can be read very clearly!
The dice, as you know, can also be purchased separately 🥳
The transparent bases are perfect:
Comparison with Bandai Action Base 01
We really like the fact that it is more transparent than anything we have seen on the market so far.
The effect on the playing surface is really better!
But once again “Chinese company has” found a way to surprise us by sending us the cards and hardcover rulebook of another game! 😱
They justified themselves by saying that the cost of setting up the machine would be too high, so they sent us a sample of their past work to show us the quality of the finished product.
The quality is certainly very good but we would have liked to evaluate the cards and the book with our pictures in person...
This will require further checking by us as soon as the first copies are made. 🤓
Overall we are very satisfied with what we have received: the more special elements (plastic tokens, dice) are very well made and we believe they will do the same with the cards and hardcover rulebook, “that these are elements that require simpler labour and technique to make”.
Thank you for your attention
Have a nice day!

Happy start of the week dear mecha pilot! 🥳
We would like to thank you again for your feedback and positive comments in the Facebook posts, Instagram... 🥰
We're really happy that the game excites you! 🤩
As promised in the last update the price of MechaTop has been brought to normal: £59 instead of £39.
Only in some special occasions we will propose again the discounted price, reserved for backers!
In these days Christian has prepared two videos (one in Italian and one in English) where he shows an entire round played in "SOLO" mode. 🤓
The following topics are discussed in more detail:
- deployment
- instinct phase
- activation order
The next video we are going to prepare will be the one where we explain how to play at a distance using a simple video call !!! 😎😉
If you have any special video requests write them in the comments! 🤓
Massimo, on the other hand, corrected all the cards in the MEGA database that erroneously contained the words "Bio Sensor" (instead of All Around View) and "Radio Leader" which was removed from the regulation (for balance) but was still present in some mecha cards. (Thanks for telling us)
Please note that you only need to click on the clock icon to see all additions/changes since your last login:
That's all for the moment!
Have a nice day

Good morning dear pilot! 🥳
...we are writing you this extra update to inform you that, despite the title, we will NOT apply discounts to the price of MechaTop (its price will NEVER go below what you backers paid for it!) BUT on the contrary, after Black Friday (November 28th) MechaTop will be sold at its full price! 😎
After this date we will no longer apply the 33% discount reserved for backers and preorders.
The full price will be applied to all physical rewards!
...we have already distributed all the digital rewards, including the first book in the MachaTop trilogy and the strategic guide...
(Thanks for the feedback you're sending us, we're so excited you like them so much! 🥰 )
If you liked one of our PDF manuals so do not hesitate to book your physical copy! 📓
The campaign book and the strategic guide have in fact been printed in a very limited edition!!!
(The Italian manuals only 50 copies each!!!)
The huge mats are awesome and ready to be delivered (almost all booked):
City mat
Desert
Space
Almost all of the buildings have already been booked and there are only 2/3 copies left of each of them:
