Can't help but have a long title now.  At least Weirdo will have a new name to accidentally click on.

Ack, I'd forgotten. I shaved off a bit. Maybe that will be enough.

I confirmed with, so far, 17 bucks above my original pledge. Can always add more later, but that way I get what is the most important to me and can take my sweet time for additional stuff without running the risk to forget to click "finish" in time for Wave 1.

I made a very good guess, I have 19 cents left on my original pledge.

Do we have a due date for that yet?  All I've seen so far is a mention of having a couple months.

I find the "please finish your pledge manager" e-mail a bit dissonant with whole "remain open for 60-90 days" position.  At least it gave me fourth or fifth avenue to ask about the Canon Character Add-on.  No response, aside from Bosefius' thought on the matter in the previous thread.

That's a CrowdOx email to get you to finish. CrowdOx makes, my guess, the most money from the people finalizing their pledge and then paying. They want money, so they send out mails to get people to give them money ;)

Don't expect anything before Monday or Tuesday. We have a weekend. People are at home and not working.

Yeah I had planned on 1 of each for Comstar as well so the mangled naming doesn't bother me. It is all the rest of it and how much more money I will be spending that does...

Whatever they sort out, I hope it stays with the picture/icon.  I had to do a double take and chose the one with the mechs I wanted. 

I was about $45 over, $40 of that was the plushie! So, imo, not a bad guesstimate.  I am over the amount for Star Colonel, but if I did that pledge my shipping would go up, the plushie, add a legendary set ... my cost would have been close to $100 more than I wanted.

Hey y'all, help me with my decision paralysis:

I grabbed the Wave 2 star I reeeeally wanted (Fire Star, for the FIRE MOTH, the objectively best mech that exists); I want to grab another Wave 2 star but I don't have Deep Convictions about any of them. What would you get? I already got one of each for the Wave 1 stars.

Clans I am making units for:

Hell's Horses (got this one covered, it's my main project)
Nova Cat
Jade Falcon

Thanks everyone 🎵

The Heavy Battle star gives you the Turkina and Huntsman, which fit well into Jade Falcon and Nova Cats, respectively.  Heavies are a little underrepresented in the campaign so the Ebon Jaguar and Crossbow are useful too.  I'd get that pack.

Quick question regarding the faction dice. When I made my selection, the different factions showed up in different colors, are those the dice colors?

from my understanding the colors are the colors of the dice, however you have to take into account that the dice will be translucent so the appearance might slightly differ.
