With the Bushwacker Hero mech derived from Captain Valten Ryder's glory days, and the new Hero Mauler taking lead from Captain Miles Hawkins...is there any plan to add the 1st Somerset Strikers decal to the list of decals to buy?

Some of us started playing Battletech because of the TV show. It would be nice to have said decal available to showcase where one came from.

This is such a missed opportunity. Its a typical example of PGI's marketing. Its such an easy given to do this decal with the Bushwacker AND the Mauler, but nothing has come of it.

The only thing that I would assume that is stopping them is rights from the shows creators. Or a lack of foresight.

Well, I don't think creators would be the issue considering that the show was produced for syndication by Saban with the approval of FASA at the time...and FASA/Topps made in canon by releasing the sourcebook.

I guess PGI missed the boat on this one...unless they intend to jump.

If the symbol IS created, I'd buy it. And I haven't bought jack from PGI ever aside from mech bays.
