Low-key, to some I guess, but really really important as part of the bridge for new players on the heels of the box sets.

Awesome news, I want a nice t-shirt....maybe the hoodie also.

So... does DriveThru count as a "local retailer"? ???

Sartris · « **Reply #1354 on:** 16 January 2019, 18:34:23 »

Does drivethru usually sell DTF BT stuff?

Daryk · « **Reply #1355 on:** 16 January 2019, 18:46:06 »

I'm pretty sure they do... been a while since I've had the cash to browse over there...

"In the right place, a few small rocks can change the course of a river. The Seekers of Clan Goliath Scorpion and the Escorpion Imperio have long sought out relics of the past which they believe will steer their course. But relics are not the only rocks: one small unit and its warriors changed the path of the Clan and the Imperio. The saKhan of fifty years who formed them. The Star Colonel who returned to guide them in their darkest hour. The survivors who escaped the Reavings to claim a new home. Those who continue to use the relics of the past to guide the future. Come discover the small rocks of the Crimson Seeker Star, who changed the course of the Seekers, the Goliath Scorpions, the Escorpion Imperio and many more. Spotlight On: Crimson Seeker Star includes a Unit History, Personalities, Personnel Rosters, Mission Tracks, and data for use with all scales of BattleTech play."

I know we’re all SUPPOSED to be most excited for the new box sets, but I am unreasonably psyched about the Crimson Seeker book.

I'm pretty psyched about it too

There's good tie-ins from a BattleCorps story plus BattleCorps' RS:Unique Mechs, making that info available to everyone, which is nice.

Dragon Cat · « **Reply #1362 on:** 22 January 2019, 09:27:48 »

Even for a non Goliath Scorpion fan it was an enjoyable product

Luciora · « **Reply #1363 on:** 22 January 2019, 11:29:05 »

Hah, I made custom minis for each of those! Although I wish had the guts to change the paint scheme on them.

As the guy who forced the RSUM concept on TPTB of that era ... pics! Please, pics!

(I have a Great Wyrm Aemelia, but that's as far as I went ;) )

Polygon reviewed the box sets: https://www.polygon.com/2019/1/22/18193088/battletech-beginner-box-armored-combat-release-date-price

Moonsword · « **Reply #1366 on:** 22 January 2019, 15:25:45 »

It looks like they liked them. Some positive press is always nice.

Bedwyr · « **Reply #1367 on:** 22 January 2019, 15:37:15 »

It's a pretty big venue too. That's honestly a lot of publicity just from Polygon.

My local store got three (or more) of the Starter kits within the last week: someone said next week they would get the Big Box as well... but I'm glad to see they are arriving on shelves!

Just spotted this at Kobo:

https://www.kobo.com/au/en/ebook/battletech-forever-faithful

Due for release on February 23rd. Any new fiction is good but this I'm really looking forward to ;D

Wrangler · « **Reply #1370 on:** 23 January 2019, 06:54:51 »

Wow! A origin story set during the Twilight of Clans.

Sharpnel · « **Reply #1371 on:** 23 January 2019, 07:06:24 »

It appears that this will be bout the birth of the Fidelis.

Wrangler · « **Reply #1372 on:** 23 January 2019, 07:44:32 »

I wonder if there will be more than one book. The Fidelis's future was changed, but it's past wasn't clarified, so at least we get that. I don't think after the recent sourcebook its going end well for the Fidelis.

Empyrus · « **Reply #1373 on:** 23 January 2019, 08:23:09 »

Cool, Drivethru updated BMM. Now if only the UI would let me download it... Reckon i'll get the physical re-release too once it gets here. Like the book a lot. Also new cover art is great.

On the other hand, LGS had ended up reporting the official street date for the box set, naturally it isn't in the store yet. No matter, probably would've gotten it later anyway, got some other stuff to get first (like Ace Combat 7 on PC).

Heavyguard · « **Reply #1374 on:** 23 January 2019, 08:23:50 »

IIRC Blaine mentioned that it does span multiple eras.

Its here. There something going wrong with when you use the shorten name for XTRO: Phantoms. Weird.
