Couple of snippets regarding the future (i.e not directly related to the Mercs KS) :
Name-dropped Mechs (as in on the list for plastic) : Thunder Hawk, Imp, Berserker, Hollander (last one is "further down" the list).
They have plans for/with the terrain/buildings shown at Adepticon.
IWM is looking into a collaboration with another company for potential plastic Dropships.
EU-store : the ball is in the camp of the European player/partner. CGL is waiting for answers.

An update from the BattleTech Forums on the big surprise stretch goal that was to be posted for the $8 million mark:
shivanworm wrote:Gideon/Ray posted in discord that the 8 million surprise is being pushed back to 10 million. A new thing will take its place at 8.
Sounds to me like the $8 million stretch goal was something they thought was out of reach and now they've decided to change it now that $8 million might actually occur (however slim of a chance that is).

I haven't even seen an announcement on the $8mil goal is so I think they still might be able to change it, lol
The News and Rumors section is all about surprises. I'd certainly hate it if we got 100 posts saying "I know something you don't know..." - malfred

They haven't shown it. That is why they can (and are) changing it to the $10 million stretch goal and replacing it with a different stretch goal.

The Easter bump from the retaliation packs seems to have dissipated. Looks like they need another hook out there if they want to get to 6m before the final 48 hour bell rings.
Automatically Appended Next Post: On the 8/10m thing, quite often the final goal is set out as a proper stretch but it happens anyway even if the target isn’t quite reached. That may be what they are aiming for to end with a really uplifting final feeling for everyone.
Why yes I am feeling very optimistic tonight, thanks

I'd be surprised if they hit $7m, so really they may as well be offering solid gold bars and free blow jobs if they reach $10m 'cause we're never getting there.

I think 7M is probably pretty safe, considering the last minute push these Kickstarters have. I wouldn't be surprised if they raise another mil in the last 48 hours. 10 million? Yeah, pretty much no chance.
I think 1.5 million in the last 48 is definitely possible, so $7 million can happen. Especially because we get value worth pledging for if we hit $7 million.
To get another 4m, they basically need everyone currently pledged to add another $200. This is only a bit smaller than the average pledge, so it does seem a bit unlikely.
They apparently have another 10k people following the campaign. If they can convert half of them to go on average pledge it’s 1.3m.
So yeah, I think 7m is achievable, but probably not much more than that.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Cool. More add-ons that might entice people to stump up a bit more
The metal LosTech dice and the neoprene map bundles are probably the outstanding lures there.

From the latest update, a look at how the 'Mechs are made:

Somebody on the comments is pointing that the mech is not just another Centurion but Yen Lu Wang. Renegades, and traitors box incoming?

Yen Lo Wang? And that's in the Mercenaries box? If that's so, that's great news for me. Was thinking of getting an Iron Wind Metal one, but the prices discouraged me.
If it's not in the Mercs box, any word on what box or ForcePack it will be in?

IMO, since the model is shown in an assembly video (as in currently being produced), I think it won't be part of the KS.
Here's a video from Adepticon where Randall, Ray, Anthony and Brent (CGL) talk about miniature design.
Thanks for the link, Old-Four-Arms. Randall mentions a Legends of Solaris Forcepack (in the future), and that is a logical place for them to sell Yen Lo Wang.
Definitely getting tempted to upgrade from Company to Battalion - $125 to get the Savannah map pack and 6 ForcePacks (ignoring the record sheets and physical Art of War) doesn't seem bad at all.

If you can afford it, the value goes up massively. Going from company with a map pack up to battalion is basically about 60% increase in cost to get 100% extra models.

The 8m goal is looking pretty good, and evens out Regiment a bit.
