General BattleTech Discussion / Re: If you could get pre-painted BattleTech figures, would you?

I think we'll get an answer for the cost when we see the MSRP of the 1st Star League pack come out.  Will it be the same as a normal Inner Sphere Lance?  The cost of a Star ForcePack or Mercenaries ForcePack?  Or a Level II ForcePack?  The Proliferation Pack?

We Already have the MSRP for the Star League Force Packs, $35 for the Star League Command Lance (4 minis), $40 for the Second Star League Assault Lance (5 minis), and $45 for the two Third Star League packs (6 minis each), which puts the packs at $5 more then the MSRP of the packs from the Mercenaries Kickstarter with the same number of minis.

Jurassic Park came out in 1990, so it's a fair bet that the 80s were popular with genetics tropes.

Like it's any different than 'Mechs being called after Heavy Metal bands?

Clan Chatterweb / Re: Clan Jade Falcon III: Admittedly, We May Have Falconed a Little Too Hard

« Last post by Weirdo on Today at 10:05:04 »

I humbly submit that the 2nd Falcon Sentinels have a Jade/green body/fuselage, navy blue with steel panels for the limbs, and red accents on the blue.

Is it supposed to be blue in that emblem? My eyes always see purple.

Aside from that, that's pretty close to what I have planned for my ace Delta Galaxy pilot. :)

I believe that if you have card details entered, payment will be taken on the last day of shipping charges being payable.

Otherwise you can pay with paypal if you'd rather pay immediately.

That is what I was expecting, but wasn’t sure.

I have to say that I've always kind of hated that hovertank, since it's name exists pretty much 100% for the pun with no in-universe logic for why anyone would choose that name.

I mean, J. Edgar Hoover was a person in-universe.  Although that's probably a pretty obscure figure to pluck out of history to use for a pun in the year 2722.
