I will ask Marc for clarification on this one.

The $750 Pledge, if I'm reading it correctly, is :

Reward #9, which is : All three modes of each of the three LAMs in special packaging signed by the IWM crew. The packages are also numbered by pledge dates.

AND

Reward #7, which is : Another set of all three modes of each LAM. These are "spare" so you have a set new in special packaging AND a set to open and use.

This is the level I pledged at. I think this whole project is fantastic and the preview miniature of the Waneta looks amazing. I appreciate all of the hard work Iron Wind Metals puts into creating new miniatures for my favorite hobby and I'm happy to be able to support them as much as I can.

For all of or International fans who want to pledge to the Kickstarter for the Spectral LAMs can do so now. International pledges are just an extra 20 for shipping. So due to how Kickstarter functions, after a pledge has some backers you can not edit it. So for pledges that no one has backed, the option of an extra 20 appears below the text. For the pledges that have have backers a new pledge have been created for them but 20 dollars higher and marked for international backers only.

You got it, I was about to post the same thing but I do not have to now.

Thanks corrinald.

Amusingly, a large shipment of minis just arrived at my door here in the cold, white North.

I will check with Marc if a all Hybrid mode pledge could be added.

Per the Kickstarter page, only those who pledge will have the LAM's for 2013. They would not be release for sale on the website until sometime in 2014

What about the Fan-Funded LAMs from last year? Does this mean we can hope to see them this year? Or that they will be out next year with Spectrals?

This really needs to be advertised on the battletech main page or something. Maybe even on MWO and Sarna while we are at it. Word needs to get out, or this might not take off!

It's only been up for a few days, and they're already over 20% of the way there. I'd say this has taken off. 8)

Feel free to spread it where ever you like. I don't have a MWO account and am planning to post on sarna forums, just have not been on my desktop since Sunday.

No it hasn't! If it had "taken off", they would have been their already, and be looking at 200% over by now! ;)

Personally? i hope for them to hit the 1 million mark!

You misspelled "producable" (producible).

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I copied it into Microsoft Word to quickly find something. Seriously though, really interesting update.

Will fix tonight, I copied it from a email and thought I check it over good enough. Guess not.

Man, the Waneta prototype just looks fantastic. I jumped in to get myself all three versions. We'll see if my budget allows for me to grab any others before the end of the campaign.

Mastergunz · « **Reply #45 on:** 30 January 2013, 12:25:18 »

Im pledging for all 3 versions of the Waneta as well. Looks incredible! Speck, would it be kosher to post this to my FB page? I know there are a good number of players on my friends lists who don't frequent here.

We're going to discuss pledging as a group at this fridsys game.

Please post where ever you want. Spread the word. I can only post where I know off. This is especially welcomed by any international player to spread the information about the Kickstarter.

Completely disinterested in LAMs of all kinds, however you've got me interested at the potential for 3D printed minis for the future.
Have a word with LtDan on the forums, he has a Blender model of an Overlord and Union dropship (with outside griebeling) that he's 3d printed for games.

i'm thinking about helping out but.....and this sounds bad... will these come with a card to let you know were the parts go? one of them looks to have 12 parts and some of them are dange small. That is what is stopping me from jumping in already

keisukekun · « **Reply #50 on:** 01 February 2013, 10:56:22 »

This is awesome!. I pledged for all 9. Should look great on the table. I hope after this CGL will see how much support BT can get on KS and start more projects. almost 50% in a week is pretty good for a kickstarter and I think a new box set could get even more support (clan box set hint hint.)

And I think IWM will also learn to use Kickstarter better as well. Include a video, have specials if certain targets are reached, etc. All very cool (I'm a marketing geek, what can I say).

Thinking of getting 2 sets of all 9 minis to play with on the table. Is the best bet to pledge the $185 twice?

Seems like its the best option atm. Yeh I think for a first try its not bad but more eye-catching things is always good.

I have mixed feelings on the way this is being done. You are paying a premium to get them in 2013 and everyone else waits till 2014. The problem I have is if I back this I get what I pay for and have to wait for 2014 to buy more or I have to pay the premium price to buy more now. $22.77 is a premium I would be willing to pay to get it funded if after it was funded I could buy more at normal cost.

I think if they would set up so backers could buy them from Iron Wind over the next year this thing would be funded in a day. Right now I have the money but haven't made up my mind

I'm interested in the scale of these beauties. Is there any possibility we could get a picture of the Waneta next to the Atlas?

I will work on that, it does list them as 48mm tall. More information to come.

What will help lower the price per pledge for the minis would be the stretch goal if they are reached. I am hoping to announce them this week.

I will check with Marc about your other question.
