At last count, I own 52 T-Bolts of various sculpts. Of those, 19 are Unseen, then I've got 4 each of the Primitive, IIC, and 3 different "Fan Sculpts", then 2-3 of all the other Reseen sculpts. I might not buy "12" of any particular 'Mech, but if it's one I like well enough, I'll most likely buy 4 of them. I plan to buy 4 of the Primitive
Rifleman, plus 2-4 of the Primitive
Griffin.
Having to "Pay" to vote is pure BS, plain and simple. If something someone likes doesn't win enough votes in any given Poll, "Them's the Breaks". I don't buy any "Collectible" garbage because I want to buy what
I want,
NOT trust to the Luck of the draw. I'm not about to pay someone $10.00-$15.00 so I can stick my hand in a hole cut into the top of a box, and blindly grope around for a blister, with the Hopes that it's something I actually want. Of the 3 'Mechs I voted for, 2 of them were in the top 6, and I donated money to each of them. I
WON'T be "Forced" to pay
MY money to have another Variant of an existing mini made,
OR a Resculpt of an existing mini. (
OR a Re-re-resculpt!) Unless I like the looks of it, I also won't pay to have any Clan mini sculpted. There are minis that I won't fund that I'll still
Probably end up buying. I know I'll get at least 2 blisters of the APCs, or whatever it takes to get me 2 of each mini. I buy minis I like the looks of, Period. There is
NO WAY I'll "Pay" to vote if there's the
Slightest chance my money will go to some garbage I'll never buy.
As far as I remember, all the primitives have been of formerly unseen types, except for the Xanthos, which, while I am not 100 thrilled with it's sculpt (LEGS! WHY ALWAYS THE LEGS?!), we hardly need a new sculpt for that version.
I just remembered, another "Non Unseen" Primitive is the Banshee BNC-1E. O0
