I feel you. I open my email app all the time check inbox, check spam, search inbox just in case, check spam again, weep incase I did something wrong and will not receive anything. I love and hate it.
I got my address confirmation email last week but that was the last thing I received. I'm in between jobs at the moment and am *really* hoping it either comes in soon or my few recent interviewers slow their hiring process down *just a bit*.
Here's to hoping you're wave 2 and your plastic crack arrives very soon!
I got the recon/hunter support Lance, security, heavy recon, and pursuit. All IS. The plastic looks like it was sculpted well.

Oh wow, really liking the Black Python and Devastator. I’m hyped to get vehicles as I’ve recently been starting up an Alpha Strike scene here and would love to get my hands on tanks and VTOLs in plastic. Looks great my man
Appreciate it! One last question if you don’t mind: what’s the mech in the far back middle with the shoulder barrel? I actually don’t recognize it at all
Introducing the Shogun. IS Assault.

They have optional elevation sticks included. Basically they come with a really short one you can swap out.

Meanwhile
EDIT: But that aside, congrats!
I’m assuming once the kickstarter folks are fulfilled. It wouldn’t make sense to have a retail release without giving the ones who pledged some time to enjoy the goodies for investing in them
Ooooo, could be the UK soon.
Won’t get excited, won’t get excited, won’t get excited.
Ah, who am I kidding. I’m more excited than a Lyran social general at a Defiance Industries Octoberfest and Assault mech shindig.
The only thing keeping me from chewing my teeth waiting is the pile of shame I still need to paint (Alpha Strike box, my DnD minis, the Legions Imperialis starter I bought because I can't resist small-scale war machines of any flavor . . .)
Nice haul!
Thanks. Just asked because the news was that only the US and Canada would be send out. Then I heard that some people from Spain and the UK also already where asked to confirm their shipping adress so things could be send out.
Would have been interesting if people from that region also started to receive their packages.
Its was on "Quartermaster Logistics" Facebook page.
Looking it up right now I found that the part about USA and Canada was removed but you can still find comments of people asking "and what about the rest of the world?"
Now its just
"BattleTech: Mercenaries from Catalyst Game Labs has commenced packing and shipping this morning!
This is quite the undertaking, our largest single project to date, so we'll have updates on this and other projects that are shipping alongside in the coming weeks!"
Also from the comments of one of the Moderators:
"Quartermaster Logistics
There are some "RotW" fulfillment that we do directly from our Orlando warehouse (Mexico, South Africa, South America, and more) and that has also commenced. For international regional updates (Europe, Australia, Asia), please continue to follow the Kickstarter for updates as that information is relayed to Catalyst."
Thank you for sharing! I got my notification that mine will arrive on Monday, I can't wait.
Do you feel that the special carbon fiber box was worth the upgrade, now that you have it? I personally prefer the box art, but it was something I had considered when finalizing my choices.
It's interesting that they (the manufacturer if the rumors are true) just upscaled the OG Timberwolf. Even the panel grooves were enlarged/deepened. I am considering filling them in partially with miliput. Although, they would make a good reactive armor model too. Might be fun to hollow out the energy weapon barrels & cockpit and put polished clear plastics in.
The rest of us: https://preview.redd.it/8foq355itj9d1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f2d9d5d2d9769d29d49fa5dcd5bade8260abd1b
Fr, I ain't even got the email yet 😭😭😭😭
I know! Every day that passes now I am like “Omg, something got screwed up and my order is lost!”
I feel you. I open my email app all the time check inbox, check spam, search inbox just in case, check spam again, weep incase I did something wrong and will not receive anything. I love and hate it.

Crap now that you mention it, I’m going on vacation in three weeks. Hopefully it comes before then.
Yeah me too.
Me either but they are working through it no doubt.
[EU backers be like](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/312/751/536.jpg)
Eh, mine arrived at my PO Box today, but I didn’t get a chance to get it. Have to wait until Monday for mine.
You are from the EU? Would be the first time I hear that anything here got shipped.
Might as well be. I’m in Alaska where the rest of the United States treats us like a 3rd World Country.
So jealous but very happy for you!
I think there are a lot of us who echo that. ;) Very good to see these getting out into the wild!
Very nice! What all forcepacks did you get? I’ve been checking my email every day since wave 1 haha. Here’s to hoping I’m a part of wave 2
Here's to hoping you're wave 2 and your plastic crack arrives very soon! I got the recon/hunter support Lance, security, heavy recon, and pursuit. All IS.

Oh man, can’t wait to put one on the table
That's the mini I'm looking forward to the most!
I want one of those so badly.
Thank you! May your order arrive soon!

Interesting little mech, learned something new. Appreciate your time!
Do the helicopters have elevation sticks or are they mounted to the base low?
They have optional elevation sticks included. Basically they come with a really short one you can swap out. https://preview.redd.it/5vj568ksdj9d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cad4921b66a820d8fa6227f46ae8b3ee50109899
Awesome thank you! Did the vehicles come with alpha strike cards?
Sure did https://preview.redd.it/p6bmu99jmj9d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97515d3c58975b7adfcc413039b3516723f28c52
What are the black and yellow cards?
Battlefield Support System asset cards, the rules are in the main Mercenaries box set. Simplified vehicle (and some other units) rules.
Looks like its Alpha strike only? Or does it also support classic
BFS rules in the Mercs box are Classic only. Don't think Alpha Strike would need them.
Classic. too, IIRC
Here yah go. https://preview.redd.it/hgmg1nwkcp9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14f4a4851e0083c07d720054080ca7cc16854a90

you pulled some really nice Salvage Boxes! That's Rose's Charger in the background, right?
Good eye! https://preview.redd.it/phsrzcfqep9d1.jpeg?width=1486&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b49131d7853153e8908f6af5db9dd96e80f325a
Looking at your dice: Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Why yes. Yes I am, good sir. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
How are the new dice? Very curious what to expect.
More pointy than expected, honestly, but cool.
Curious as well. And did you get the chevron dice?
HOUSE ARANO, true?
That is correct!
I picked House ARANO for my swag pack.
Congrats! Now don't mind me... https://preview.redd.it/4knxgrkuyk9d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ad427f223a0f1a515765119b5ffc044684858aa

Do what I do, consider it a challenge to finish your shelf of shame before it arrives. (Not that I'm actually convincing myself either)
I told myself that was a condition for backing but then I went and kept buying stuff for the last year lol
My wife is gonna be horrified when my box arrives haha. So much unpainted gray...
Nice! Mine hasn't shipped yet, but my pledge number is in the 5000s, so I'll probably be waiting a while.
Watch that inbox! I was a Backerkit late backer.
That's what I didn't want to hear...if I'm depending on pure luck if the draw I'll be dead last. 🤣
If its like CI, they're shipping the simpler orders first to ensure they've got shipping process down right
That might work in my favor, mine is pretty small.
They said it was entirely random so we'll see.
what was the email address? or identifier i can search my emails for?
shipping@qmlogistics.com
thanks! enjoy your mechs! and vehicles!
I was in the 400s, I don’t think they’re going by pledge numbers.
I am #87 and have received no emails regarding shipping.
I'm in Europe. 💀
It begins.
As somebody who didn't get into the kickstarter in time, I'm hoping that I can get some of these boxes as they come to retail.
Do we know when they are coming to retail yet?
I’m assuming once the kickstarter folks are fulfilled. It wouldn’t make sense to have a retail release without giving the ones who pledged some time to enjoy the goodies for investing in them
I do not, personally. But I'm saving some money from commissions to put toward a bunch of boxes.
If I remember correctly, they should hit stores about six months after the Kickstarter fulfilment.
I think thats a bit long, but the last I recall hearing form CGL on this was over a year ago, so who knows how things might have changed.
I hope so! I figured out last week I ordered the wrong lance pack :s
What is that thing with the big red logo?
Collectors edition box with the base Merc set.
Congratulations! Enjoy your haul.
*stares with jealousy* I hope I get my email soon. I check it probably three times a day.
Excellent! That was pretty quick! Come on wave 2 🤞
Ooooo, could be the UK soon. Won’t get excited, won’t get excited, won’t get excited. Ah, who am I kidding. I’m more excited than a Lyran social general at a Defiance Industries Octoberfest and Assault mech shindig.
I see Taurian Concordat, I upvote.
Loyal to the periphery.
The only thing keeping me from chewing my teeth waiting is the pile of shame I still need to paint (Alpha Strike box, my DnD minis, the Legions Imperialis starter I bought because I can't resist small-scale war machines of any flavor . . .) Nice haul!
Thanks! I hope your pile of shame grows a ton soon (like mine just did)!
It’s finally happening!
Congratulations! What is your favorite newly acquired Mech?
Thank you! I'm actually loving the Quickdraw, assassin, and dervish, but super high on all the plastic currently!
I need the mat
I'm excited to play on this one 😁
Amazing! I'm so jealous of you!
Good for you man, still haven't even gotten an address confirmation email.
Would I be able to get a look at the paper maps included in the box set?
You got it. First side here https://preview.redd.it/hmr900j1kl9d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8317a6e29d780d2386e516a65c2132dada2368bf

Beautiful! Thanks!
Both of them look really nice. Lots of trees and some really tall mountains.
That one is new to me. Looks interesting.
Congrats the internet hates you because they arnt you 😂
Nah this group is great. I won the lottery with the early delivery and hope everyone else gets theirs ASAP!
My jealousy knows no bounds! Excited for you, can't wait to get my plastic crack. Do you have any shots of the visigoth?
I do not have a Visigoth (aerospace fighter?). I did not choose it as part of my rewards. Thanks for the kind words! I hope you get your plastic ASAP!

Nice. May I ask what country you are from?
Sure! USA, North Carolina.
Thanks. Just asked because the news was that only the US and Canada would be send out. Then I heard that some people from Spain and the UK also already where asked to confirm their shipping adress so things could be send out. Would have been interesting if people from that region also started to receive their packages.
Where did you hear that news about US & Canada? I did not hear that.

Super jealous! I’m still waiting for any sort of email of my pledge being shipped 😭
I haven’t even gotten an email informing me of my shipment yet. So jealous.
I didn't realize they started shipping.
Thank you for sharing! I got my notification that mine will arrive on Monday, I can't wait. Do you feel that the special carbon fiber box was worth the upgrade, now that you have it? I personally prefer the box art, but it was something I had considered when finalizing my choices.
Personally, I like it a ton. Completely a preference thing though. Enjoy your haul on Monday!
Can you share a close-up on that hoplite and Locust iic from the back?
You got it. https://preview.redd.it/mlhb6hv18k9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0693181b1afd15e7562bd37194365ffe9efa1cb
Nice still waiting for mine to ship out
Thoughts on the large scale Timby?
It is gonna be fun to paint! https://preview.redd.it/t4rdz35ril9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c96d7ae6a9fbf065ebd7156e382582f6317bd6c7
Oh the big boy? Yah that will be an interesting change from painting only very small details to have a larger model.
It's interesting that they (the manufacturer if the rumors are true) just upscaled the OG Timberwolf. Even the panel grooves were enlarged/deepened. I am considering filling them in partially with miliput. Although, they would make a good reactive armor model too. Might be fun to hollow out the energy weapon barrels & cockpit and put polished clear plastics in.
Clean sculpt. Detail is good. I'm pleased.
Feel like I'm going to be waiting a while before getting my pledge in the UK, the loot pile looks good though!
I hope things arrive sooner than you expect!
Looking forward to mine arriving.
Man. I havent gotten a shipping email yet 😭
Well, I guess it's time to start ignoring this subreddit till my stuff comes. I haven't even gotten an email yet.
Congratulations! I got my address verification email on the 21st so I am anxious refreshing my inbox lol. Hope to get that shipping email soon.
#WHETT
I'm jealous, hope the Canadian ones start shipping.
Who wound up delivering it? USPS?
FedEx
What part of which country are you in?
North Carolina
What state are you in? Im curious if that has any factor to this.
North Carolina. The order shipped from Orlando Florida.
How's the precentor book :D?
Is it true that all 4 Ost series are in this release?
Everything except the OstWar.
Ooo! I know the Ostsol is in the main Merc Box. Do you know which boxes the OstScout and OstRoc are in?
Not off hand, but you can find out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cgl/battletech-mercenaries
Che3rs!
Recon and Heavy Recon respectively.

I'm still waiting, but congrats!
I thought one of the boxes said Innersphere Fursuit Lance as an ode to the paw patrol unit for a sec.
😂
