The hype about Carmine mechs started off strong, and only got more ridiculous over time.
The emotional impact of norms being able to pilot mechs for the first time was indescribable.
As the Palace of Mechanical Marvels stocked enough Yellow Jackets to satisfy thousands of lucky guests, many attendees who acted quickly enough to sign up for the opportunity to purchase and try out the Carmine mechs right away all displayed such strong reactions that entire broadcasts had been dedicated to recording their experiences!
The popularity of the product reveal still remained strong despite the fact that the speakers had already concluded their presentations.
It couldn't be helped. In the absence of piloting their own Carmine mechs, the masses residing on many different planets and other vessels had no choice but to watch other lucky norms take advantage of this stellar opportunity first.
