I did order way too much to be fair. I got a regiment and then x2 battalions. Idk what I planned on doing with that many mechs but now I'm dealing with last year me's problems.
I'm at $390 on a $2000 pledge. With a lot of books (8 rulebooks, 4 Tech Readouts, plus the three GDL novels), and a full suite of the new neoprene maps except the supermat and the unhexed one. I think it's 11. $40 for the aerospace one, $100 for two bundles (so assume 3 mats each), and $120 for the third bundle (four mats). That makes the most sense of it being a discount, but not a steep one.
I did ask about it, and they offered me $170 in store credit. So that's not nothing, as I'll be in the US in a couple months and will get it sent to a local. Will allow me to get the UrbieLAM, and maybe some of the newer boxes, maybe.

**How will this work?**
Before the AMA begins, please post your Battletech questions to <#1239689626248151101>. This channel will be heavily moderated. Anything that is not a question will be deleted, along with duplicate questions. Before the AMA starts, we will remove posting privileges to that channel.

This is our first AMA on this discord, and we're definitely learning as we go. Please be patient with us as we learn and find the best way to do this. If we can be successful at this, there will be future AMAs.
Please note that the folks involved in managing the Kickstarter will not be part of the AMA, so answers to questions about the Kickstarter will be limited.

It's a Capellan style AMA! Ask whatever you want, citizen. But remember that the Maskirovka is always watching, and Brazen Heart is a cold place to live.

Some of the digital rewards are out now. There is a link under the latest KS update.

I've asked my LGS to order me one. I might get the 2nd Star League Assault Lance too, but I dislike the ilkhan era so that is a definite non-starter with me.
Everything has been delivered to the hubs except for a few tchotchke items that they're waiting to air ship in and once they drop they'll start fulfilling the Kickstarter (approximately 7 to 10 days).

There might be one in Orlando (where QML is located). Other than that,

According to the S&H costs, Antarctica.
They are shipping from the Deep Periphery.

The KS campaign page states; US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia and Asia.
I'm sure by the shipping costs that have been charged, this may no longer be correct.
I received a preliminary shipping address confirmation from Pick n Pack Logistics in Ontario.
So that’s the Canadian hub. Not sure what the others are.
My mistake. The email was for another project.
No word on this one yet.

Managed to get my patch while at UK Games Expo this weekend, which was nice - Randall was nice to chat to for a few minutes, even when I'm a complete Battletech newb

Catalyst is still waiting on a Norse Foundry shipment for some dice pucks and a shipment from their warehouse as well, so hopefully within a week or two.
Some more of the colored 'Mechs for an unannounced game (confirmed to be for a Retailer Grinder kit.).

I know it's been discussed to death but... I'd give a lot to just buy even a random bag of all those bits. Build my own mech designs, my own frankenmechs, etc. so little effort to do to - I know a lot of oldsters don't want to assemble but they really are missing a money maker and cost cutter in selling what is basically mech Legos.
Received my Address Verification email from QML this morning.
