This is the first meeting of Urbie Lovers (not so) Anonymous.

Here we come for support, and to acknowledge our addiction to lovable, but bad mechs. We are the Cubs fans of the Inner Sphere.

Hello.....My name is Bishop, *from the audience... "Hi Bishop"* and I love Urbanmechs. I've been addicted to waddling trashcans for 25 years now, and now own the collectors pack.

And I'm proud to let my Urbie-Freak-Flag fly!!!!!

let your love and money flow, my brothers!!! Make it rain!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

*EDIT*

A thought for those on the fence? (because of Speed, Deputy Dawg, reasons, etc)

Why not pre-order the basic package? Why?

If happy, it's done,and the sales goal gets met. Can even easily upgrade if you decide?
​If not? Refund. PGI is good and quick about those. Basically, consider it a $20 placeholder.

Just a thought.


Update:
well, of people who replied on this thread alone, I counted 90 individual purchases, with more than half (I think) being the Collectors editions. NICE!

and per RUSS (on twitter)

Russ Bullock
‏@russ_bullock
As to Urban Mech sales, the update is that things have gone fairly well. We have achieved about 1/3 of the sales needed in this first day.

So in 6 hrs, they are 1/3 of the way to goal. Outstanding!!!

Updated Update: As of the 24 hr mark, Russ says we are at 50% of Goal.
To celebrate:

Am thinking about offering it to NGNG as a Tee Shirt pattern.

Urbie sales update: were around 75% of our target now. Yes very quick but has slowed down considerably now. Still looking good though.

I will buy Urbies if they announce the engine cap to be at least 180. If under, I probably won't.

This may be my first purchase...but I'm holding off for a bit to see the discussions on ghost heat.

Given the one camo shown on the preorder page, "They called me slow once"... I am betting at least one will have a pretty decent engine cap. ;)

Bought the collector's pack. The 60 days of premium time itself is worth $30, plus all the extras. If I only ever use my Urbie once it will have paid for itself, and I plan on annoying the crap outa people with it!

if they are a "rare commodity" it means the presale failed and they won't exist at all. Per Russ at the TH.

Well when compared to a trashcan moving at granny walker speed the Kit Fox is like a tweaked out Spider with MASC :)
