Has there been any releases on what if anything, besides books, will be avail. at Gencon (dice, new pins, etc...)? [drool]

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #1 on:** 08 August 2017, 14:22:53 »

In the new release thread and the GENCON!!!!!! thread

Whisper721 · « **Reply #2 on:** 08 August 2017, 14:41:52 »

I only see Iron wind in those. I was looking for the CGL booth stuff.

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #3 on:** 08 August 2017, 16:32:49 »

its in there before the IWM stuff, or at least one of the two threads. BMM and a few others I don't remember the names of. TRO Succession Wars is one I believe. I think there is also one or two other books Adrian mentioned.

I am Belch II · « **Reply #4 on:** 09 August 2017, 08:46:05 »

New books and new minis.

Jaim Magnus · « **Reply #5 on:** 09 August 2017, 11:32:15 »

A lance pack of some kind, I don't think the 'Mechs were specified (from IWM).
BattleMech Manual
Second Succession War
TRO Succession Wars
Legacy Anthology

I don't remember seeing anything listed about dice, pins, or other such products, but you never know.

IWM has a list of their new releases and offerings on their web page.

CGL just posted a list of what they'll have at GenCon, along with a teaser pic of products yet to come. Check out those box sets...

I hope they also display/disclose what the (possible) contents of those box sets would be... 8)

Some, as they're still in development.

If we get plastic minis in these boxes with at least quality of previous ones than I am pleased to wait these 6-12months. :)

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #11 on:** 13 August 2017, 01:47:32 »

Crap... and after my post in the new release thread...

As for the plastics, Randall spoke of that in a podcast I think that the quality would be the same or better than the AS Lance Packs

That is true. Another question is how many of them will be in boxes (Beginners box probably will have 2-4 minis) and which ones (for me I don't want anything new, I still need these from previous introboxes). And I am hoping for more AS lance packs or some sort of booster packs (House oriented?).

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #14 on:** 13 August 2017, 02:36:50 »

The way Adrian was talking 2 for the starter and probably the same 24 for the other box (Unknown which models yet though). One thing that was never mentioned that I can recall is if the bigger box will continue to have the extra 2 high quality multi-part mechs or not. Would be nice if they changed those out for a aero flight for a change.

Geont · « **Reply #15 on:** 13 August 2017, 02:40:16 »

Even some tanks/APC would be good. Or something like Hex pack with additional terrain (scenario objectives?).

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #16 on:** 13 August 2017, 02:42:18 »

Anything map related would probably cost more than the extra minis.

The CGL and Battletech FB page both had updates on what will be at Gencon this year....and Cake!

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #18 on:** 13 August 2017, 04:16:39 »

[drool]
Everything needs cake!

.RL · « **Reply #19 on:** 13 August 2017, 06:46:39 »

This was a great surprise to wake up to. I can't wait to see the contents of both Battletech boxes.

Spaceman · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 August 2017, 08:27:11 »

So I take it no new AS Card packs this year? Will last years CM packs be available this year with out the printing error?

Valkerie · « **Reply #21 on:** 13 August 2017, 14:15:56 »

Am I seeing two different box sets there for Battletech? If so that would be awesome! 8)

Geont · « **Reply #22 on:** 13 August 2017, 14:27:40 »

Yes, two boxes. One with 2 minis and one with 2 lances. I don't know if this will change in future but for now it seems like good idea.

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #23 on:** 13 August 2017, 19:43:51 »

Where do you get 2 lances from?? Even the the popular Alpha Strike box that hasn't happened was to have 12 on 10

2 lances, yup.

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #25 on:** 13 August 2017, 21:28:40 »

Why so few?? And if it shrank from 24 to 8 what is the new price for it? The starter box with 2 minis was 20 (or did something change) and originally the renamed intro box was to stay the same. What happened??????

Scotty · « **Reply #26 on:** 13 August 2017, 22:25:57 »

Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, those details will be revealed when they're closer to release.

Cache · « **Reply #27 on:** 13 August 2017, 22:35:35 »

n/m... misread some info.

With everything we get in the current 24 'Mech box for $60, I'd be willing to bet it's so expensive to produce Catalyst may actually lose money on it.
