Sector Sigma

Does anyone have some information or hints about this new sci-fi set? After all Sigma Sector could be in space ... could be a land base??? Whatever ... any little tidbit would be neat.

Would it be wrong of me to say "yes" despite not being allowed to expand upon it? Because, if that is the case, then I won't say anything at all...

Evil.

Could it be Red Sector TLX?

Talae · **Posted:** 10-09-2012, 08:40 AM

I can tell you what it isn't. It isn't related to the watch or skateboard companies witch Sector in their names. It also has nothing to do with the Sigma camera and biochemical companies.

... and that still leaves open the possibility of the newest invention of Dr.Unger from beneath his hidden laboratory on the outskirts of Dennyville which he is even now may be readying to unleash upon an unsuspecting world... Muhahahaha! Can our intrepid gamers carry out their clandestine surveillance and get the all important intel back to HQ in time? As always, should any of the team by caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of their actions...

[LOL- don't look at me, I don't know anything - I'm just the piano player... really, I do!]

If I had to guess, I'd fall back to the 2012 wish list poll... I'm guessing this is gonna be some form of underground Egyptian dirigible found in a modular cave system underneath a fold-flat castle. But, that's just a guess...

Most excellent. Are you working on kitbashes for it yet? B-)

Wait minute ..... I could work with that.

Some of you are more right than others but no one has it just yet...

greypilgrim · **Posted:** 10-10-2012, 02:15 PM

Ah! Then it must be one of Matt's projects! - lol

I hope I don't get in trouble for this, but yes, this one is Matt's.

No trouble--if you click on the "Yes, I work here" banner in any staff member's signature, it shows a list of what they're working on.

...and thus another arcane secret of Castle Unger has been unlocked!

Obviously it's the super-computer which gave us all life!

The computer is your friend...wait, what clearance are you? Red? Hrm...let me call the Troubleshooters...

Try that one.

Would that just be a papercraft orange faceted orb?

With a tiny hole it in for the key.

And roughly 40' (or 8" TLX scale) in diameter...

Well before Cybertron was, Vector Sigma was... but since I'm just making this NOW then no.

Good guess though.

Talae · **Posted:** 10-12-2012, 12:23 AM

So, it is newer than Cybertron. Is it bigger than a breadbox?

...wait I don't think I am suppose to be playing this game.

John · **Posted:** 10-12-2012, 03:51 AM

SiFi Terra clips?... please?

Jaynz · **Posted:** 10-12-2012, 10:16 AM

Does remind me, I really should revisit my Paperformers.. they're calling to me...

So much to do. I'll be knocking SOME stuff out this weekend, though... at least.

badula · **Posted:** 10-14-2012, 11:54 PM

what about this guess?^^

Veskit · **Posted:** 10-18-2012, 08:09 AM

Oh, TLX'ish stuff in the same style and stuff to the Platform command? If so YES PLEASE!

Heck I'd buy it even if it was just a robocutter version of the PC stuff just as it is (even though I already own it lol).

That's it.. make me want to dig my Go Lion out of mothballs. (Won't hold up to standard, really, being 72dpi and limited palette... fun thing to make back then, though.)

It never dawned on me before, but perhaps this is the transition of the Platform Command sets to TLX. That could be very interesting ... lots of infrastructure and props.

I wonder what new stuff would go along with it.

thothkins · **Posted:** 11-10-2012, 11:49 AM

With this coming out, I hesitated at picking up too much sci-fi in the sale. I'd didn't want to pick up something that would be a little obsolete before I'd even a chance to build it. It will be interesting to see what it is.

There really are two strong possibilities for this one, though, based on its name.

1) The long-awaited TLX update for the Platform Command sets and Red Sector.
2) The long-promised but back-burnered spy-ops/evil-genius sets.

If it's the latter, just get more sci-fi stuff, then. If it's the former, get more sci-fi stuff to use with it all anyway - at least for the spiffy props!

Okay enough teasing, it's 1. But only sort of.

Sector Sigma will be a kind of "ultimate" version of Platform Command... but only in concept. Unlike previous TLX updates, this will be almost ALL NEW texture-wise. In fact only the very best in texture and geometry is getting carried forward from previous sets and even that is getting reworked.

And there's plenty of new stuff... oh my, yes. No mechs though. Well, none of those mechs...
