    3D printers solve everything.

    I am a modder :) Theres a tool to import .papa models into blender. I then export them as .fbx and use Maya. The problem is the textures just use different shades of green so that they can have different team colors. If you try to change the shades of green into better colors it looks ok but not as good as the trailer ones.

    Meh, who cares about the textures? Just print it up in the base ABS color (usually white) and paint it yourself with acrylic paints!

    I was thinking more a long the lines of a Hasbro product.
    The reason everyone wants merch is because this game has such great designs!

    That is exceedingly unlikely.

    No toy manufacturer is going to pick up the PA licence (even if Uber was offering it) and make a run, let alone a persistent toy line of articulated Planetary Annihilation themed action figures. There's not enough of a market.

    This will probably be exclusive to the 3d printer market. They are common enough now that it wouldn't be hard to get one done if you really want one.

    I would love to order the bricks from lego and build models of PA units to sell them to fans. But this would involve asking lego and uber for promision, but i would gladly use more than half the money made to put toward the on going games development. I would just keep enough for parts:p ive Made a couple units already in the fan art thread.

    You're being lazy. If you really want what you are thinking of to exist you need to make it happen (ie with the steps I listed before). If you wait around for other people to do the work for you it will either cost you a fortune or never happen.

    @shortforce13: go here http://www.buildwithchrome.com/
    you can build the set in your browser with any lego pieces in exsistance, then order it from lego.com through their website and they will send you all the pieces required and instructions on how to build it.
