Here is the new poll  to be vote on five different Archive products. The top two at the end of the poll will be available on the website as Online Exclusives for purchase without the Archive fee. So this poll will expire around the end of April 2011 and the top two Archive Products will return for sale without the Archive fee for May 2011.

epona's all day long. the sculpt is great and the tank is cool.
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

Maybe I'll get a Blade or two, I can find a paintjob for them eventually.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

I am sad to see how badly the Scorpion is doing.  I like working on quads.

Scorpion! My Ghost Bears need more Drac stuff to shoot.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

Your poll mentions the spider 8R (listed in TRO 3085), but wasn't the archived Dark Age spider the 7K/7K2 variant?

I didn't think the 8R had even been sculpted yet.

Yes you are correct, I had a hart time remembering which variant it was when I set up the poll.

I think after three polls we can say that we truly do not want that Black Lanner sculpt back!  It's awful.  We could really do with a resculpt of that one, especially using some of the CCG or video game art.

If CCG art is considered canon, I'd gladly sell a kidney to finance one of those Lanners...

I was already planning to remove it. I figure if it has not been votes in by now, its time for something else

I almost went for the Blade to get more "new" stuff available now, but I love quads and the Scorpion was always King of the quads in my book.

I went with the Blade.  The 'Mech just recently got its first write-up with TRO 3085 Supplemental, and people seemed to respond favorably to it.  The mini is a pretty mice piece, and hopefully it will sell well when people see it available again.

And once more, I'd like to toss out the Tundra Wolf as a suggestion for the next poll!

I'm going to get a handful of those Scorpions.  I may as well pick up a Blade while its cheap, even if I don't have much of a use for it now.

Can I suggest throwing some of the archived fantech 'mechs into the pool?
Any except the Nightsky ERPPC would be fine, as I have that one.

I have posted this month poll winners along with the Gunslinger from the last poll. It appears I forgot to add that one last month.

If you are taking input for May's poll, I would like to nominate the Saracen Hover Tank (20-259), the old Longbow (20-681), or maybe the Cobra (20-939).

I would second the Saracen for the next poll. I would also like to throw out there the Red Shift (AR20-252), Venom (AR20-648), and Blue Flame (AR20-229) for consideration.
