No a la carte for pack 2.

You get it now or you wait until they release as normal.

Russ only said that the Mad Dog/Vulture would be the first released for MC/Cbills (regular version no cbill bonus)

Ok maybe I am just antsy but had my wallet open and ready to buy the Hellbringer but couldn't find the Ala Carte option. Again wish we could just chose a one, two, three, four or five mech option. Would easily drop $90 on the Hellbringer, Gargoyle and Mad Dog but for me anyway, the Koshi and Fenris spoil the deal. Honestly doubt I would ever really get into playing those two enough to justify the extra cost.

Really the Koshi is one fine looking mech though......If it can't be good at least it can be good looking.

Like Gallgher said it's all about doing it with style!

sorry my bad. I went by the Town hall info and there it sounded like there was no pick n choose option.. But he might have been refvering to the Doggie.

Any way the new clan warhorns are nice and i see them being a big hit in the MC store no matter what faction you support.

Since there seems to be a reward of one faction pack per $30 spent, will the a la carte option also include one pack per mech purchased?

Also, do we have an idea on how much they will cost per? $55 to circumvent a $100+ purchase was reasonable-ish. Grabbing the Summoner at that price tag was a tough call, due to how close it was The Nova pack was a steal, compared to buying it as a single. But it made sense as the top tiers were so much more.

But with a max buy in of $120, can we get the a la carte a little less expensive this time?

A la carte is meant to be expensive, it is a way to entice people into buying one of the full packages.

I'm aware. However, the $55 per baseline was established against a top tier price tag of $240. Since the top tier is only $120, I'm wondering if the a la carte price might adjust accordingly.

For some reason I highly doubt it will change much, as the Clan `Mech costs are generally higher. So it would stand to reason that their price would stay higher (yes I do agree they should be priced a little lower, how much no idea but i also understand how they are trying to make money)
