I don't know about you, but I know myself and kids will be heading to this movie upon it's release. Even more exciting through is that fact that River Horse and Legendary Entertainment are teaming up to make a tabletop miniatures game for it.
Pacific Rim Extinction is now up on Kickstarter, already doubling its goal.
The Kickstarter is live here, and will be fulfilled in November of this year. I also like its buy in price, with two options available.

Official Press Release:
River
Horse and Legendary Entertainment Join Forces for Pacific Rim: Extinction, a Thrilling Tabletop Miniatures Game Full
of Mammoth Action.
Miniatures Strategy Game to Launch Following the
Release of
Legendary Entertainment’s Pacific
Rim Uprising Film
River Horse (EU) Ltd. is delighted to announce a partnership with
Legendary Entertainment to bring epic Jaeger vs. Kaiju action to your tabletop
with an exciting miniatures game inspired by the upcoming film, Pacific Rim Uprising, in theaters on
March 23rd.
Pacific Rim: Extinction is a scenario driven strategy game of city-wide destruction and chaos, capturing the spectacular conflict of the Pacific Rim universe with fantastically detailed 75mm scale miniatures of the film’s iconic Jaegers - mechanical guardians of humanity - and Kaiju - living weapons from beyond our world.
In Pacific Rim: Extinction, two or more players will be able to jump right into the action playing either a PPDC Jaeger or a monstrous Kaiju, in a quick play match of intense combat, or a more constructed battle with both Jaegers and Kaiju using all of their skills and abilities to achieve a challenging objective.
