May 2011 Archive Special Return Poll
« on: 18 May 2011, 18:46:23 »
Here is the new poll  to be vote on five different Archive products. The top two at the end of the poll will be available on the website as Online Exclusives for purchase without the Archive fee. So this poll will expire around the end of May 2011 and the top two Archive Products will return for sale without the Archive fee for June 2011.

argus for the same reasons as shocka ans stormlion
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

Voted for the Saracen.  I need some to go with my Saladins and Scimitars.

That Tundra Wolf looks pretty sweet too.

I agree with JPArbiter that the Tundra Wolf should just be put back into circulation along with any other mech that was in TRO 3085 and is  presently in the Archive.

Voted argus. Want a pair of those. But oh do I want a tarantula too. Idk the specs on the thing but its nostalgia from MW2. And it's a lot sexier than that scorpion mech.

I said the same thing about the Scorpion last month.  I bought a bunch of them and started working on the first of them this week.  I had totally forgotten how much of a pain it is to align all the legs...  But I'll still buy a Tarantula or two if they win...

Not much for a dedicated Lyran to choose from, so I went with the Argus. There's at least a possibility that a handful were left somewhere in Lyran space after the Civil War......

Went with the Argus just because I think it's a shame that mini went into the Archives 6 months after it debuted.

Really? That's very sad. It is such a superior sculpt to the original Argus sculpt (tiny, diminutive, without detail)... I've been wanting one, but did not want to pay archive fees atm.

Went with the Tundra Wolf.  Want about four more of them and dont feel like waiting till GenCon to get some more.


I also agree the Tundra Wolf should go back into circulation since TRO 3085 was released.

Ready to do battle for his vanquished Clan
Stalking the Falcon Khans, who would remake us
His actions, the Wolf incarnate

Any particular reason why the Tarantula is in Bold type in the poll listing?  ???


Is it not enough that it tied for last, but you have to make it Glaringly Obvious as well? That's just being mean.  :P

May's poll is just about done...time for suggestions for June!!!
Here is a short list of some minis to consider taking out of the archives, and the reason why:

Quickdraw 20-872: iconic 3025 mech
Longbow 20-681: mini is closer to 3025-era than project phoenix mini
Starslayer 20-673: iconic 3058 mech
Menshen 20-941: iconic Capellan mech
Perseus 20-913: useful (and common?) 3067 mech
Razorback 20-241: iconic 3067 mech
Thunderbolt NAIS BT-136: one of the best variants of reseen TDRs!
Savannah Master 20-828: common early-era vee
Congress 20-157: I don't have one!
Essex 20-192: I don't have one!
Kimagure 20-198: I don't have one!

...and that's probably enough for now.

I'll second the thunderbolt NAIS.  It was one of those that was tossed into the archive almost as soon as it was released.
