I know Whiz Kids is making the quick-click plastic mechs, and some of the ones I've seen don't look to bad. A real base and a paint job and they might even be useful cannon fodder.

Does anyone know where I can see what's available and order one or three?

And how do I put smilies in my posts?

And where can I find TR 3067?

And why doesn't Mech Commander II use the same mechs as Mechwarrior IV? I think it would be really cool to be able to import:

  • 'mechs from one program to another
  • your own designs (from HMP, perhaps)into either program
  • characters and their stats from one to another.

As the WizKids site you can find pics of the minis. As far as I know, you can't buy them singally. You buy a pack and get some random stuff. You might find a store selling singles, but the rares will be insanely expensive like the rare Magic: The Gathering cards. Or at least, those use to be expensive. I don't keep up with it anymore.

I've seen a few out of the box. Yes, some of the vehicles (like the MASH and mobile HQ) don't look too bad, I didn't like the mechs. And the two rarer ones that this one store had looked downright ugly.

Also, I've heard how some stores let MageKnight purchasers look inside the sets, so there's a chance that they might let you look inside the BTech boxes.
