Special Archive Return July 2011 Poll
« on: 20 July 2011, 20:47:03 »
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 August 8th 2011 and the top two Archive Products will return for sale without the Archive fee for August 2011.

NOTE: Due to my leaving on July 31st and attending Gen Con, the July poll will run until August 8th. On the 9th I will post the winners and they will run a week late into September.

That's the Crossbow Omni mech, right? I really want that!

I think this is the first poll where there hasn't been something I've been dying to have.  I wonder if I'll actually make it through August without an IWM order...  Of course I still have to make my July order while the Saracens are up.

Already have a Stealth and Dragon Fire... neither of the vehicles interest me... Crossbow wins.

Crossbow for me, I can always use another Crossbow, if I had a second choice I'd want the Challenger X's out on the market again, if only for a short time.

It seems both the Crossbow and the challenger are ahead. I only hope If a get another Crossbow it won't get the bad arms of mine.  :-\

Not interested in any of them, so I voted for the Challenger because it has a recent TRO showing, and it isn't a 'mech. I'll never vote for 'mechs here if there are any other options.

I'm hoping to see the Glory win but I'm getting discouraged that I'll ever see a unit I want to buy win one of these things.   :'(

I had to go Dragonfire - not only is the leader of our gaming group supporting them....LO, but I also had a lance of them myself that I used against one of the players I knew in Virginia that favored a star of 3 Lokis, a Ryoken, and a Cougar. Since he ALWAYS played Jade Falcons, and that was always his command star..... well, we'll just say that his little jade parakeets got their wings trimmed.

I voted for the Crossbow, because I never found more than 1. And I always wanted to assemble a star of them for my Clan unit.

Looked in and was kind of suprised at the results, Crossbow and Dragonfire in the lead. If the Crossbow wins I think I'll get one and paint it up in Steel Viper Colors, just for giggles.

It looks like the crossbow and dragonfire as it is now. I'll probably get a lance of both.

Now, lets hope the new fan funded BAs will be online before you remove the Challenger again, so I can order it alongside them :)

Here's hoping the Challenger stay up a few months! I just can't afford them this month! Course I somehow afforded the Crossbow and Dragonfire, but thats a diffrent story!  ;D

no kidding, in the last month i've spent close to 500 on minis and other BT related stuff, 200 from my purchases at gencon alone( i know, thats probably low for some of you ). The wife is starting to give me the eye...The only thing thats saving my ass right now is the fan funding money lol.

Did not vote in this one since I already have enough of everything in it that I have any interest in. Maybe the next poll will have that elusive Spider I keep hoping will come out of the archives sometime soon.

I'm hoping there is nothing I want or need for once.  I've ordered way more than I should the last few months and need some time to catch up!
