36 'Mechs (full battalion!), 4 vees, 20 PBI squads/platoons, and 30 Elementals, totals 90 models for the table! And most expensive items are close to prices of GW's large plastic models :o

And I forgot to order hex bases... Some models, like Stinger, are so unstable that those can hardly stay up and standing on their own. Lessee if I can edit order...

My current order has 193 BAs alone. Complete there are 330 miniatures in that order.
Granted, it's a group order for me and three others, but still.... have you beat ;) :P

Matti · « **Reply #2 on:** 01 November 2011, 14:24:51 »

What does it cost? :o

DarkISI · « **Reply #3 on:** 01 November 2011, 15:45:55 »

$480
Not that much, the BAs and infantry (a lot more small stuff in addition to the BAs) keep the cost low.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #4 on:** 01 November 2011, 17:15:33 »

Both of those orders I more than I've spent on minis (both cash and store credit) in the last year.

JPArbiter · « **Reply #5 on:** 01 November 2011, 19:00:52 »

I cashed in all 600 bucks of my LAM fan funding contribution at once... sorry guys.

HavocTheWarDog · « **Reply #6 on:** 01 November 2011, 20:15:48 »

I spent $600 back when ral partha sold mechs(early 90's) i got almost a regiments worth of mechs and vehicles.

Weirdo · « **Reply #7 on:** 01 November 2011, 22:08:54 »

Does a convention blitzkrieg count? Back when I knew the meaning of the term 'disposable income', I once raided their GenCon booth and walked away with about $740 worth of merchandise.

Lugging that much pewter around the con for the rest of the day was a PAIN... #P

ScottSR · « **Reply #8 on:** 01 November 2011, 23:01:12 »

if we expand from IWM to include RPUK then I spent like $1550 once when I wanted to "super stock up" before their price increase. I think I've only gotten to 1/3 to 1/2 of them so far for assembly and painting

TheOldGuy · « **Reply #9 on:** 01 November 2011, 23:11:40 »

That's impressive, I thought my orders were large!

Matti · « **Reply #10 on:** 01 November 2011, 23:38:07 »

Soon after opening this topic, I made two other orders for 10 hex bases and Ice Ferret. I typed in comments request to add those in my first order of the day. I did remember to tell order #. Hopefully that works and I don't need pay $40 for shipping...

Jackmc · « **Reply #11 on:** 01 November 2011, 23:54:47 »

As soon as the insurance company cuts me a check, I will be placing about a $3,000 Forge World order and an ~$7500 GW order.

Unless you count the fact that being a FW/GW order... He's probably only getting like 5 models for that price. :-P

:o When did it become that big?!?!

(And any news on ETA?)

klarg1 · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 November 2011, 08:26:57 »

I think my biggest single miniatures order was around $500 worth of B5 Wars stuff from Agents of Gaming, just as they were closing down. It went pretty far with the 50% "Fire Sale" discount...

These days I tend to break up large IWM orders into smaller ~$100-$130 orders. (including my fan financing credit) It makes it possible to spread them out and combine with the monthly 'archive special returns' while still getting free shipping. ;)

skumm · « **Reply #18 on:** 02 November 2011, 12:09:36 »

Biggest IWM order for me has been $1700

When Floppy joined the group. A little more than a third is his stuff ;)

Tressel · « **Reply #20 on:** 04 November 2011, 05:20:38 »

Back when it was still RP we took a trip down to Cincy and dropped close to $3000 for our group. There was a lot of metal being hauled back home that day.

The most I spent on a single order is $450...mostly on Microfighters!!!

It's not start. Before that order I already had two box sets (first bought in some 2007) with plastic models and two 'Mech Packs (Sword & Dragon) from IWM.

[edit]
I picked up the box yesterday from post office. Oh am I glad I don't need go all the way to customs office anymore and pay customs fee. That sucked #P

:o wow in the late 90's early 2000's I got into BT because it was cheap and I was working my butt off to make payments on 2 houses for a while, I'd by used mini's off gamers for 1$ ea ;D , and strip em down for rebuild/repaint, built up at least 100 mini's that way, then bought them at the gamestores for 5$-6$ ea later on (gamestores mostly gone now). I still have a pair of old unseen Marauder and marauder II in the package and about 10 more in packages to build one of these days, been into WoW last 4 yrs just getting away from it and back to BT.

For some reason, I'm not sure if I should say "Yes, reject the Dark Side!" (that is WoW) or "Welcome Back to the Dark Side!" (that is BT). :o

;D

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #27 on:** 12 January 2012, 02:47:28 »

Reject the lame Dark Side from the Prequels and embrace us, the original Dark Side from back when it was still cool! :D

I placed a $700 IWM order back at the end of November.

I await it excitedly.

Sartris · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 January 2012, 14:31:20 »

I rarely spend more than $100 at a time, but I've purchased near 300 minis since ~2009.
