*sigh* Mopar, you post on a BattleTech site and you do not know the name of a fusion engine type, such as the Vlar 260 type used in the Taurian Thunderbolts, the Vlar 280 type used in the Taurian Ostscouts and Warhammers? And lets not forget the various standard, light, and XL Vlar 300 engines used in the Black Hawk KU, Shugenja, Tessen, Vanquisher, Pillager, Bandersnatch, Raijin II, King Crab, Anvil, Black Knight, Toyama, Orion, Marauder, and Penetrator BattleMechs and the Eagle and Thunderbird aerospace fighters?

No I did not remember that. I'm not up on reading TROs.

READ THE TRO'S

Gustav Kuriga · « **Reply #485 on:** 03 January 2013, 01:08:11 »

There are TRO's? Why didn't anyone tell me?

BirdofPrey · « **Reply #486 on:** 03 January 2013, 01:35:00 »

You're new here, you have to sign a few forms before being privy to certain information.
*A delivery man comes in with three boxes full of documents*
Ah, here it is now. The phone book sized one is the information packet, the rest are waivers, permission slips and such.

ShadowRaven · « **Reply #487 on:** 03 January 2013, 01:44:51 »

don't sign those. They will make certain that when something happens, all your worldly and spiritual belongings, yes, that includes your soul, are signed over to BoP

BirdofPrey · « **Reply #488 on:** 03 January 2013, 02:02:36 »

*Hands SR a packet*
Signs this and BoP industries will share up to fifteen of our earnings off Gustav's post life total value consolidation.

You'll find a detailed listing in your information book.
Do note that by opening the informational material you consent to the full bioscan we already took of you when you entered the lair.

READ THE TRO'S

Do you have any idea how backlogged I am on my CBT reading? :-[

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #492 on:** 03 January 2013, 14:03:14 »

Well, since you had no idea what Vlar meant................and since that was in TRO 3025 that was released more than 20 years ago..............waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind! 8)

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #493 on:** 04 January 2013, 22:06:31 »

I have the B-tech novel Far Country, does that count?

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #494 on:** 04 January 2013, 22:21:04 »

I have first edition Battletech rule books. I have the first editions of all of the TRO's, from when they were first released. Bought them brand new when they were first released. Does that count?

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #495 on:** 04 January 2013, 22:24:48 »

I have the Battletech compendium: Rules of Warfare with a Jade Falcon Timberwolf on front cover and a Naga in background. Tons of unseen pics too inside

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #496 on:** 04 January 2013, 22:26:19 »

Ditto. First edition. Bought brand spanking new.

Because I am old and have been playing the game since it first came out.

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #497 on:** 04 January 2013, 22:32:24 »

Mine was given to me and was the book Extreme and I used to play. It helped until all the WOB special weapons, then I used the Sarna site

Notsonoble · « **Reply #498 on:** 04 January 2013, 22:38:30 »

Wow achoo, do you fart dust?

The Mighty ACHOO · « **Reply #499 on:** 05 January 2013, 12:11:25 »

Nope. Just old. Not ancient. Having all the old stuff isn't hard if you bought it when you was a young whippersnapper like you young kids! ;D

I've got Battledroid box sets and I did read TRO 3025 but it was probably back in 1990. :(

I have more Battletech stuff than you could imagine. My wife just shakes her head

Well.... I might have to bring my portable closet with all of my BT stuff.

Man, owning some battle droid minis would be neat. The only non-bashed unseen I have are a P-hawk, 2nd gen Archer, and Vixen

I've managed to get them all. The BD Griffin and Shadowhawk were the hardest.

Those mechs get spendy on eBay and such. My next to grab will have to be the battlemaster unseen, or the Jenner IIC

truetanker · « **Reply #505 on:** 06 January 2013, 23:00:53 »

Just be careful you don't end up with a few repro or worse.

Bought a now unseen Marauder II, original and all, son of a gun dumbbell moron sent the thing to me via standard legal letter envelope. Got it all smashed up and such... Not did I only refused to buy other items I really wanted, and they were cheap, I reported him as a bad mailer on this site, oh... three crashes ago or so. When did they removed the old marketplace thread? 05? 06? I think the a guy was scamming fakes or repoductioning Reaper or Ral Partha minis or was just getting money and not sending products, I can't remember what. But just be careful.

TT

Also wish the TPTB would allow us to have a new marketplace, but just list their CBT names and maybe a link to their Ebay account names. Or allow a link to the battletech Ebay site. By making it a sticky account, we can't post to it, but maybe be allowed to see if someone is selling. But the CBTer needs to agree to allow such a listing. Just asking... Also a good place to list CamoSpec and IronWindMetals as well. Just an idea of course. Truetanker

And no proper packaging can prevent the Mad Dogs from having bent barrels on the lasers. Perhaps that is result of allowing wombat to do the menial task of blister-packing minis.

I have a few lead unseens that I got off a friend parting with all his stuff en masse to pay hospital bills, but most of my unseens come from the 3rd ed box set plastics.

Vash The Stampede · « **Reply #508 on:** 07 January 2013, 21:38:05 »

I like the weight of lead to plastic, but paint seems to hold on plastic better. The one killer is those mold lines

truetanker · « **Reply #509 on:** 07 January 2013, 22:28:36 »

Nail file and a slight heating takes care of that. Just don't use nail polish... >:( takes close to a month in the pine sol wash per mini to get rid of most NOT all of it!
