@limburger yeah, I know the cookbook has gotten flak, but I did think I had a physical copy coming, for completeness sake. That’s on me though for not paying attention (and honestly I’m not worried about it, I was more looking forward to the Universe book that I could have brought a month or two back when it hit retail if I’d known. Again,that’s on me). And yes! I did get the big, 10mm Madcat. It is quite nice but outside of a painting project I’m worried I may just end up getting more mechs printed at the same scale >_<

@pagan8th I hear you about Mythic Battles – I went in for the basic pledge on Pantheon but then one the giveaway the folks here did for the all-in and the work to make it all compress down was *bonkers*. Quite glad that Ragnarok and Isfet are smaller overall. All-in pledges are dangerously tempting though – I have more than a few, as well as some (like Conan) that I’ve filled out the bits I was missing over the years, and it’s both nice to have that completionist itch scratched and daunting for space.
As for Battletech, yeah it’s small-scale, with even Alpha Strike doesn’t push the model count too high, but there are sooo many vehicles, mechs and variants of such, coupled with the temptation to build units from the lore/ playthrus of the various videogames so you have options, it’s real hard to say no once you start picking up these revamped Lance/Star packs. I mean I have 5 or 6 RUB’s filled already just of the Mechs I’ve brought since CGL launched these plastics, and have brought multiples of some sets just because it has some (or even just on!) models that I wanted multiples of.
