Oh, no Kerensky is like $780 shipping, if my shipping was that low I would be fine, they gave me $200 off my shipping!

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.

The shipping was still quite painfully high for me, a message to Catalyst got it sorted within the day.
I'm a rather happy customer.

That's a pretty big percentage.

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.

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).

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.

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.
