The problem is that I don't believe they can reopen the pledge manager and make only one item available. So even if they could reopen it (and they had enough trouble doing so last year) doing so this close to fulfillment would throw any timetables out of the window. IMHO, the salvage box is either a gift for the backers or an upcoming retail release.

But we do still need to pay postage and tax, and confirm addresses. So they will need to do something, and they could perhaps slip it in there. However you have reminded me of the uproar and nonsense that happened last time they opened it

Yes, but that doesn't require reopening the pledge manager AFAIK.

Nice, my first mech once I discovered that the Locust had no hands! (Crescent Hawks reference)
I want at least one.

Edit: Reopening the pledge manager would be utter chaos, I for one would add one of each of the dropships I missed last time.

Assuming you picked up the Mercenaries box, then you'll have one.

The DropShips will be available at retail after the Kickstarter from Catalyst, but of course you know what shipping outside of the US is like for them...

A list of the first set of conventions Randall Bills will be at this year:

Interesting that he is visiting 4 EU cons other than Essen. Hopefully it means they have improved their logistics, and that sourcing Btech products outside of the US will be less of a pain.

Edit: It's been pointed to me that it's called "Operation Reunification" last time somebody used the word Reunification related to Btech nukes were launched.

Watching that made me realize I wish they sold, like, a bag of blank hex bases directly. I rate the bases the official models come with higher than any of the metal/resin/mdf/3D printed hexes I've seen or tried.

Yes, they are actually quite nice bases. I've tried a few other alternatives for my Infantry/Battle Armor/IWM vehicles and the official Catalyst ones are much more to my preference.

... we are discussing doing smaller, focused ones, non-miniature Kickstarters. We have other games for the BattleTech IP in development that may go the way of Kickstarter.

Non--miniature, and other games for the Battletech IP?
Succession Wars maybe?

You have been wondering what has been going on with CGL behind the scenes. Well, we are tired of keeping EVERYTHING a secret, so we are starting a new program!
Introducing Tuesday Newsday with our host, Rem Alternis!
Our first program will be available to watch next week on our YouTube channel, on February 13th! We hope to see you there! (Makeup not included!)

From the BattleTech Forums, this is supposedly prepainted Orion in the upcoming First Star League ForcePack due in the first quarter:
