I went Star Colonel, and by my reckoning that with the extra bits and Lance packs, will be so close to Galaxy Commander it won't matter.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

I just checked, if it stays under 1.5 Mil, my Star Colonel +1 of every Mech pack (free choices being ComStar and Clans) comes to $585 with 6 double-ups (2x2 ComStar, 2x4 Clan). I could keep this as it is if I wanted to.

If We cross 1.5 Mil and I stay as a Star Colonel, my costs drop to $440 with no double-ups.

On the other hand, if we cross 1.5Mil, for $35 more, I get the same aim as getting one of everything (no doubles) and also get 3 more Challenge Coins, my Face in BattleTech, and the Map Scale DropShip.

Now to ponder which way to go.

Yeah I am pondering the same conundrum.  I'd like to collect every challenge coin, dice, neoprene battlemat, and mini they have. Plus I am a sucker for the Warhammer and they have a statute!

As we approach the $1.25 million dollar mark for the Kickstarter and the Explorer Corps Expansion stretch goal I just wanted to share this neat visual done by Hayoo over on the main CBT forums which gives you a pretty good idea what you are getting with each Pledge Level. This link gave me an excellent idea of what exactly is the reward at each level. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

1.65 million now Explorer Corps Maps unlocked

1.75 is interesting but unneeded for me at least.

Still want to know what the 2 million one might be. It better be epic

Lotsa stuff in the 2Mil SG, including the UrbanMech in plastic and as a Plushie. There's a canon digital magazine on offer a well.

Yeah, the million dollar goal should be up now Bradshaw. I got an email detailing it this morning.

Has anyone expanded their pledge to include some extras? I am really thinking hard about getting all the dice, the challenge coins, the Tukayyid neoprene battlemats, and maybe even a few other things. Curious to see how it is done. Any advice??

Oh and I see we passed the 1.75 million dollar mark tonight...most impressive!

And two canon characters!

Which brings up another point on this topic which Bradshaw and I were discussing. I have several notable characters which earned a special place through numerous years of BattleTech gaming and although it would be awesome to canonize them in official lore I am a little torn by a loss of control over them. Don't get me wrong we are going to outline them for TPTB but once that is done where will they go? What will they become? Even timing is a big part of this issue for example Ian Sinclair should obviously be in the Star League Era while Robert Takiro and George Kerensky are part of the Clan Invasion but will that even matter to them?? What do you guys think??

They gave an update on shipping costs

Update on Shipping!! 
Catalyst Games Creator

GREETINGS!

We have some estimated in from QM. **These are NOT finals!**. But I wanted to give you an idea of where things are going. When we have more final numbers, we will post as a full update!
For now, We will focus on 3 levels. Ristar. Star Captain. Star Colonel. The shipping as a % of your pledge level jsut gets seriously better after that, so it shouldn't be an issue at all.

PLEDGE LEVEL. US(L48) EU/CA AUS. CHINA. ASIA. NOR/SWIT. ROW
Warrior $14-16. $21-25. $23-27. $15-$18 $35-38 $42-46. $70-75
Star Capt. $18-22. $24-30. $26-30. $22-26. $44-48. $50-55. $65-72
Star Col. $34-39. $35-40 $32-38. $40-45. $80-85. $60-68. $115-125

Please note, these are all with "friendly" customs terms (where available) and assumes a single-wave shipment which will be almost impossible for any pledge level except Warrior/RIstar.
Also from QM and CrowdOx: For those who asked... yes, you can overplege now for your shipping and it counts toward the stretch goal totals... and when you get into the manager you will be able to "Spend" as much of your overage as you'd like on add-ons or shipping, both.

I hope to know more tomorrow morning!

I hadn't even considered shipping costs. Do they have to be paid later??

Also I heard that there might be a collectors 'edition' pack which would focus on the coins and dice which are right up my alley.
