Three would fit comfortably. MWDA used three and had to squeeze them a little more because of the click base info

Saw an update, y'all. The add-ons now have additional Clan Expansion boxes at $50 if you were interested in more of the original minis (more Timberwolfs, etc).

Because I have a downpayment for a new home sitting in my account, and I don't want this anywhere near it.

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it >:D

Did my $95 part, but looking hard a the add ons, Having a Cannon (Even a Red shirt) character is VERY tempting... That said if more details emerge on how much control the "buyer" has, it may be hard to avoid...

To people asking, I believe the pledge is charged at the end, I don't know exactly when add ons are charged

Cubby · « **Reply #1026 on:** 17 July 2019, 21:25:17 »

The option for additional copies of the Clan Invasion boxed set have been added to the list of add-ons as a $50 item.

Just a programming note, I'm about at the end of my day, but if you have additional questions, please continue to post them here or on the KS page. We're still compiling them, and I'll answer what I can in the morning.

From all of us, truly - thank you for this amazing day.

My only question is how much do I throw at this?

Mine is, how do I pick a clan?

Wrangler · « **Reply #1028 on:** 17 July 2019, 21:37:02 »

I took the 30 dollar option, paying 40 us dollars. I hope i can get the inner sphere lance pack with that salvage box.

RomulusDC · « **Reply #1029 on:** 17 July 2019, 21:40:45 »

So according to the update video, I just add the dollar amount of addons to my pledge.

The inner sphere lance pack add-on is 20$ though, you'll be 10$ short.

How many dice bags are there? Is there one with each faction logo? Or are there just an Inner Sphere and Clan themed ones?

Someone tell Randall he needs to finish the Founders Trilogy now. :)

I'm super tempted to upgrade to Star Colonel thanks to all the lance and star pack stretch goals that have been released, but I think I'm going to stick to Bloodname and instead just throw some money toward getting some of the bonuses once there's a more solid list of what's actually available.

Fat Guy · « **Reply #1035 on:** 17 July 2019, 22:06:25 »

Just home from work (OK, I had to stop at my favorite watering hole on the way home for a few cold ones 'cause work sucked!).

Bloodnamed!

Before it's over, I'll be adding on whichever lance/star packs that doesn't cover.

Whatever you pledge is charged to your card when the kickstarter ends. You can pledge more than the tier you selected costs to cover addons you know you want. Sometime after the kickstarter is over there will be a pledge manager where you tell catalyst exactly what you wanted to receive for your pledge. Most pledge managers will also give you the option to select more than what you've already paid. In that case you'll be charged the deference once you've locked in your "order".

Stupid kickstarter looks like it is going to take at lest $300 of my dollars likely more. :'(

So Star Colonel pack I am confused what does 5xStar/lance pack mean? Sorry if it has been asked. To many pages today to figure it out.

RomulusDC · « **Reply #1038 on:** 17 July 2019, 22:41:26 »

I upped to Galaxy Commander. I want my characters likeness immortalized.

You get to pick five of any combination of the Stars or Lances that have been reached and unlocked at the end of the kickstarter.

At that level, or each Star or Lance that you pick, you will receive two of the same, for a total of 10 (and up to 5 different ones).

there are currently (as soon as we hit $500k) five lances and five stars

Code: [Select]

Clan Command Star - Daishi, Ryoken, Shadow Cat, Koshi, Thor
Clan Heavy Striker Star - Man 'O War, Vulture, Loki, Dragonfly, Fenris 
Clan Fire Star - Dasher, Uller, Nova Cat, Masakari
Clan Pursuit Star - Fire Falcon, Hankyu, Hellion, Battle Cobra, Black Lanner
Clan Heavy Battle Star - Turkina, Kingfisher, Crossbow, Cauldron-Born, Nobori-nin
Inner Sphere Command Lance - Marauder, Valkyrie, Archer, Stinger
Inner Sphere Battle Lance - Phoenix Hawk, Warhammer, Rifleman, Wasp
Inner Sphere Direct Fire Lance - Atlas Marauder II, Orion, Crusader
Inner Sphere Heavy Lance - Banshee, Grasshopper, Centurion, Hatchetman
Inner Sphere Striker Lance - Blackjack, Panther, Wolfhound, Jenner

you can select five of those in any combination. at Bloodnamed ($150) and up, you get an identical copy of each of the lances/stars you select. so you select five and get double that.

I'm really hoping the next wave of Clan challenge coins and dice will have my Star Adders.

I think we are probably at the point the box itself is full, its supposed to be about the same size as the GoAC box IIRC. Two points are good IMO, gives you a taste of what they are like. My question is, are there 1, 3 or 5 on the base?

5.

Direct from the writeup of the Elemental Add on:

"Each pack comes with five bases of five elementals each."

the included homeclans are going to be voted on by the $1000+ contributors. six out of ten have already been unlocked (or at least will be with another paltry $3000) so your chances of getting those sweet, sweet adder dice are already pretty good.

General308 · « **Reply #1045 on:** 17 July 2019, 23:06:07 »

Got to admit I never wished I had a spare $5k lying around more than now.

RomulusDC · « **Reply #1046 on:** 17 July 2019, 23:11:13 »

I wonder if they can get Jeff Laubenstein back for some of the art. I would give my other pinky for him to do my character art.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #1047 on:** 17 July 2019, 23:14:45 »

Wow, looks like there's a very good chance of clearing $490K in 12 hours.

Its to the point of picking Home Clans, but the Star Colonels & Up- or maybe higher- get to pick them.

I'm just so darn happy! It all went so well and with all the stretch goals etc this has obviously been well prepared and planned for. Although I can hear Mr Scroggings yelling in alarm at all the extra Mech's he's got to draw :D
