So much whine on these forums! If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Maybe my sarcasm detector is malfunctioning, but you could already do this [2xAC/2 + 3xML] with your 4G?

It's a ridiculous build. I just tried it out on my Founder 4G for the first time (used to run a more conservative AC/20+2ML) and had one of these matches:

This is the color scheme I would use for the mech.

After you mentioned it I did. You sir have an eye for detail.

Wait a minute. The Limited Edition cost 500 MC more than the regular edition and the only difference is the cheerleader. That is an expensive little bobblehead.

It's actually the same price as the Hula Girl, and 250 less than the 'mech statues.

What's really silly is that they don't discount it a single MC when they sell it like a bundle...

A clever move would have been selling it without charging for the bobble head until feb 4th, then if people want to get a bobblehead afterwards it costs money...

See, people like deals.

They should've just included the cheerleader at no extra cost to encourage people to buy the hero now rather than wait for a sale. I know it is a small extra but small things like this look greedy when they had a chance for some good will.

Basically they've made the Hunchback everything the Hunchback wasn't supposed to be.

[Ignatz22]

These threads.....

This has noting to do with its potential, its colors or cost. It's another CHOICE. You don't want it? Fine. You think others are better? Good for you; you saved money here!
Others disagree. Some want it because...heck, because they WANT it and can get it.

THAT is what the Free Market is all about; Choice. Opinions are subjective and relative at best, and anyone who grew up with Parents would understand they are best kept to the originator.

Geez.....it's just pixels.

Ooooh, and nice colors!

I'm planning on dropping a heatsink and going from a SRM6 to a 4 and a 215 fro a bit more speed

[Seeker57]

So, I'm obviously missing something. If you buy the Hunchie now, when do you get the cheerleader bobble, now or on Feb 4th?

One planet that was taken by the Ghost Bears was won by and old and obscure game, american foot ball.


Sheliak (DC) December 3051

Attackers: 78th Elemental Support Binary (68th Striker Cluster, Delta Galaxy)

Defenders: Sheliak Professional Football League

Major Battle Site: Kurita Stadium

Outcome: Of little strategic value and with no military to defend them the planetary government of Sheliak was in a state of panic when the commissioner of the Sheliak Professional Football League, Jimmy "Straight Jim" Lorne, proposed something bold. Believing the Clans knew nothing of the rules, he proposed that the fate of the planet be decided by a game of "American" football: if the Ghost Bears won they could claim the planet, if they lost Sheliak would remain free. Desperate the planet's governors consented to the plan, and to their surprise the Ghost Bears agreed to play. Unfortunately they had no idea that the Clans still played the game, nor had they counted on the opposing team being composed of eight-foot-tall Elementals. The final score of the game was 84 to 3, and in the postgame show the planetary government officially handed Sheliak over to the Ghost Bears.

You can buy the hunch now, with the bobblehead for 500 extra MC and aftef ?Feb4th the BH is gone...

[Cysero]

Way to put your best foot forward!



I feel like it's a little underhanded to be selling the "Limited Edition" until Feb 4th, while the only thing that makes it limited is the bobble-head. After that, anyone can buy the hero mech as usual. Just kind of disappointing and clearly intentional wording from the trailer:

LIMITED EDITION ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL FEBRUARY 4TH!

*REGULAR EDITION ALSO AVAILABLE.

GG.

Especially when the "limited edition" is 500 MC more than the regular edition - which just happens to be the price of the Hula Girl bobblehead...

They're not marketing geniuses, that's for sure.

[Johnny Redburn]

I wanted to get the cheerleader but seems like PGI don't want 500MC so force me to spend way more money....Ain't gonna happen. Too bad PGI and a tip to the Market department : "Don't count your chickens before they hatch".
