A BattleTech weblog

Jackpot!

Every once in a while you just have to brag.

Today is my day.

Everything you see; final price: $97.20

Local gaming store was having a sale and right or not, all of their BattleTech miniatures ended up in the $1 bin.  So I had to buy them.  All of them.

What can I say?  I’m happy while my significant other is mildly annoyed.  I have a lot of painting to do.  Time to get busy!

    Nice but damn.

    I would have restricted myself to just the minis I think would be most likely to be deployed. However,. at ninelty percent off, you got a sweet deal.

  2. Paint-it-Pink Said,

    You are going to have to tell us what you scored? You can’t just tease us like this. Go on, go on, go on. I’ll make you a cup of tea. :-)

  5. Ian Said,

    Whuuuuuuuuuut….(?!)

    With the money you saved you could pay some local kid with craft skills to assemble some of them ;)
    I suppose you could also make a cent with a little ebay-ing…

  6. Grantwhy Said,

    ???

    “I’m happy while my significant other is mildly annoyed.”

    just say ‘but they were on sale, think of the money *we* saved’ ;-)

    then turn around and ask ‘does this make my bum look big’ :-D

    then run for your life :-p

    I suppose getting your significant to pick out a bunch (4/5/6/12?), paint them as they see fit and then have them kick your arse from one end of the battlefield to the other is out of the question?

  7. Adam Isherwood Said,

    Major envy dude!

  8. ExodusRoad Said,

    Wow. Just wow. Couldn’t afford to make that kind of offer if I tried. 20% is about the best I can do. Major strike. It would be worth a nap in the dog house for a week or two for me too.

  9. Chris Tobey Said,

    wow! What store was this???

    Dude, you gotta let me in on some of this stuff, even if u make a couple bucks off me i need to beef up my collection.

    Nice Job!

    _Chris

  10. owen V SH Said,

    yeah i’m thinkin i’da done the same thing ‘cept for most of the vehicles and BA or protos. My wife gets a bit miffed every time a nobleknight box shows up in the mail, she’d get real burned if i came home with that. Very nice score man.
