Remember it comes with 2 months of premium time, which is about 75% of those $40 right there.
So by that logic, it's actually 1/2 the price you think it should be!

Edit: 60 days PT, not three months...

Not an issue with you buying the Collectors edition, I did too.

But 2 things -
1 - If it's double what you feel it should be, there is a $20 pack.

2 - To make you feel better:
Urbanmech Collectors Pack: US$40 (est GB£28)
3x Urbanmech (Inc 1 Hero) est 5,000MC
3 Mechbays 900MC
12x Premium Cockpit Item est 9,750MC
60 Days Premium Time 5,000MC
Premium Camo 1,250MC
2 Modules (9,000,000C-Bills) 3,600MC
Total Value - est 25,500MC
Probably call it 25,000MC for ease.
Equivalent Value - US$99.95 (GB£67)

I instantly purchased the 40$ pack when I got to my computer. So I got that going for me which is nice.

Yeah, but Harmony Gold is a sore spot, especially due to the circumstances, and that FASA had licensed the rights directly.

HGs claim was incredibly sketchy and tennuous at best, being they only had/have distribution rights, not to the image or name.
But they strongarmed their way through, and it's how they've been staying afloat in the last 5-10 years, by making tenuous lawsuits and cashing royalties based on their existing license and payouts from legal action.
A thoroughly reprehensible company, but one with good lawyers.

not true the company DID NOT LICENSE THE RIGHT DIRECTLY THE COMPANY THEY LICENSED FROM DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE IMAGERY THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FROM THE MACROSS SIDE OF THE WORLD

So the urbanmech is already pretty slow with a std 60, but what's the smallest engine that it can take? The urbanmech's slowness is one of its defining traits and I'm curious exactly how slow we will be able to make it go.

Sadly this. As for Karma Koin, send a ticket and they'll probably get back to you shortly.

As per Russ's tweets:
"I am leaning towards 215 - same top speed as the upcoming slowest IS light the Panther - top speed 116 kph before speed tweak"

And
"I am leaning towards 215 - same top speed as the upcoming slowest IS light the Panther - top speed 116 kph before speed tweak"

I think it could be okay this way.

I honestly feel a mix of irration and disgusted pity.

That's funny, I feel the same way about people buying an Urbanmech.

Under tabletop rules, a 'mech has to have a minimum engine rating equal to double it's tonnage.
So the 60 rated engine is already the smallest it can get.

I must say, that I am really curious what all the fuss is about. If you are going to drive something slower than an atlas, why not have the weapons and armor to back it up. I get that the 360 rotation is pretty cool, but seriously. I would be surprised if you can mount larger than a 120 engine, giving you a top speed of around 64kph. A spider moving at 64kph is dead meat, no mater how you play it. I get that it is cute in a R2-D2 sort of way, but not $40 cute.

People will buy it and then put it away because they will get tired of only getting 50 damage points per match. I give it two weeks after it comes out...
