Aaaaaand done. I didn't want one but due to HBMC I placed a Blood Asp in my order as a meme mech.
Did you got charged for shipping? I got charged 60$ extra from my initial pledge, but I think that's the plushies I added last minute.

I did too. No strong feelings either way, but with two Gauss rifles on the Prime, that's a selling point for me.

They did not charge me for shipping, but I'm in the continental US. Still, I can't help but wonder if that's a mistake.

Worries me because my CC expires in July, and I don't want to get blindsided by shipping charges.

Edit: As per update 51 s&h has not been charged yet. I hope they don't open the pledge manager for s&h until I get my new CC.

It's cool that they're letting people select from a variety of Salvage Boxes. I'd much rather get a few fighters and a Blood Asp than X random shots at a mech I don't already have or want a double/triple/quadruple of.
Well... all the store exclusive Merc Lances are available in the pledge manager. I was not expecting that.
So there goes another $190...
With all the add-ons and pledges and things that allowed for extra Salvage boxes I ended up with 12 Salvage boxes (2 Blood Asp, 6 Mercenary, 4 Legandary).
Ooh. I hadn’t twigged to that. I’ll go back and check them out. I have no nostalgia for the Somerset Strikers but maybe one of the exclusive lances will fill a niche in my burgeoning Regiment
As I’ll never game with all of these things anyway, I’m going to get a pair of shilones to at least fill a proper aerospace Lance
Then the remaining salvage boxes on a blood asp and 3 random mechs.
I’d like a full listing of dice designs though. Hopefully they will have that by the reopening bit later on.

I didn't expect my total shopping list to come out to almost $3200....

Although they still recommend taking the path I first suggested for your choices.
If you do neither of these options, will they just send you the appropriate number of mercenary salvage boxes for your add-on pledges by default? I added on 5 battalions, so like.... theres a lot of inner sphere lance forcepacks in there, more than I can fit in the context of my main pledge.

It sounds like Backerkit hasn't been able to do the stuff CGL wanted from them. The reporting is obviously a bit one sided, but you'd think with $7m kicking about that something could have been done.

I would also like to see a comprehensive list of the exclusive packs, since I forget which ones I've already sourced.
I think this is all of them but I would like to know if I missed any. Keep in mind that most of the exclusives are/were temporary, and may be out of the exclusive phase.
Legendary MechWarriors I (exclusive to Clan Invasion KS/CGL store; not available through Mercs KS, still avail at CGL store, then OOP)
Wolf's Dragoons Assault Star (Barnes and Noble exclusive)
Eridani Light Horse Hunter Lance (Barnes and Noble exclusive)
Gray Death Legion Heavy Battle Lance (Barnes and Noble exclusive)
Hansen's Roughriders Battle Lance (distributor exclusive)
Northwind Highlanders Command Lance (distributor exclusive)
Kell Hounds Striker Lance (distributor exclusive)
Battletech Essentials (Target exclusive; I don't think this one is available in the Mercs KS)

This is no longer exclusive, having been replaced by the ELH forcepack below.
Eridani Light Horse Hunter Lance (Barnes and Noble exclusive) Only exclusive for six months, but I'm not sure when the six months started. Dec 2022, or Jan 2023, and I'm not certain about those dates either. Anyway, if you want to get them at a discount from a OLGS wait until August of this year and they should be no longer exclusive.
I just did my own backerkit page stuff, and it turns out that all the exclusives are listed in their own add-on category anyway. Should make it clear for anyone who wants those.
Interesting, the yet-to-be-released Urbanmech Lance and Proliferation Cycle Lance are in there, although I don't know why/how they're exclusives. Are they going to be CGL-store only?
Proliferation Cycle and Urbanmech Lance are regular retail releases. Calling that category "exclusives" is a bit misleading, it's really just a list of all the post-Clan Invasion forcepacks they have released except for those which will still have exclusivity rights at the time of anticipated shipping (thus, Grey Death Legion is not on the list).
CoALabaer wrote: Wargamers hate two things: the state of the game and change.
Do you know if every "exclusive" is ultimately going to end up as a normal retail product? Or are there still some that are indefinitely exclusive?
I think the Target box falls into the latter category, although they have announced something non-committal like they "want to" get it into the hands of non-US customers. Not sure about the rest.
I had them "Unlock" my Pledge for gak and giggles.
I got credited back my second Battalion Pledge and went through it again.
It's the same as before, no salvage boxes for the second pledge. So I suspect they just want to make sure everyone got the note I dropped here, Reddit, FB, etc.
Pick Force Packs that get Salvage on your main pledge and ones that don't on your second.

Yep. From the announcement, the Proliferation Cycle ForcePack, the UrbanMech Lance ForcePack and the Snord's Irregulars Assault Lance ForcePack were each noted as "This ForcePack will be available via regular distribution this spring; it is not an exclusive.".

Some of them aren't exclusive anymore, like the aforementioned Wolf's Dragoons one, but I was just surprised to see all of them listed there. Rare as hen's teeth in this part of the world, so I'm appreciative of their inclusion.

Most of the things on that list were store exclusives, specifically American store exclusives.
So as it turns out, and despite all the vehicle boxes, if you get 1 of every 'Mech available that's new to this Kickstarter (and not any from the last KS), there are more 'Mechs in this one than the last.
I hope they don't open the pledge manager for s&h until I get my new
