I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like they are bringing out the 2 extra standard variants, colors, nor cockpit items this time. I remember all too well how PGI made a poll about bringing the mechs back and how it was smacked down. But bringing out the only [P] variants for people who still want them isn't really that bad.

I won't whine about it too much, I don't play much anymore and I will never again buy any "limited" or "Special" item from PGI unless it is at a deep discount and something I actually want.

Will this be offered again next year? cant afford them this year. I like collecting mechs.

Nice. But how about some new variants of mechs as well?

[Steve Pryde]

Never understood the backlash about getting the phoenix packs back. I bought the biggest pack back in the day and couldn't care less about them getting back. Specially when the variants here are not really good. For example look at the Battlemaster variant. That thing has 60 degree torso twist range. That's the same as a Dire Wolf has. Now you know how bad this mech ist.

When you're playing the energy boat BLR, your torso twist matters less than it might seem - you just peek with your shoulder hardpoints over a ridge, fire an alpha and pull back into cover.

Grabbed myself a couple bakers dozen Mech bays (26) because, well, reasons.....

There is an issue with the Thunderbolt TDR-5S(S) being sold for $16.
I bought one earlier today, but what I got was the TDR-5S.

Was suppose to get 7 energy hp, but instead got mech with 2 energy, ballistic and missle hps.

You got the TDR-5S(S), which is a special version - indicated by the (S) - of the basic Thunderbolt TDR-5S with 4 energy, 2 missile and 2 ballistic hardpoints.
It is NOT a TDR-5SS with 7 energy and a missile hardpoints.

[Tin Roof Rusted]

Ok I see what you mean.
It's confusing cos when you go in game and look, there is NO 5S(S) listed anywhere, which would make it look like the 5SS (in game) is the same one, just that it is listed without the().

That is confusing and of course what I paid for is not what "the game" shows our I wouldn't have paid for it.

[3RoyalStar1]

Is the custimization pack worth it?

I already got the nutcracker
Any opinions?

It takes knowing that the Special (S) indication is not part of the model number, yeah.

Not yet, sadly

I enjoy the deals offered in Bundles of Joy, bought 70% of them. But this February Bundles of Love are very disappointing. The bundles don't translate to good buy, most of them are bloated and expensive.

I'm very disappointed as I was excited about the bundles when it is announces that there will be more bundle offers coming up. This morning when I check the website and notice the bundles I was happy for a moment but when I look clearly at them, it is a total disappointment.

Just hope that the next bundles will be more value buy rather than the current bundles with unnecessary decorations and inflated prices.
