“Catalyst is pleased to release the first two premium-quality plastic miniatures for sale through www.battlecorps.com/catalog: the Thor and Loki Clan OmniMechs from Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade.

“These extremely high-quality miniatures are the result of a match-up between Catalyst Game Labs’ insatiable desire to continue the explosive re-birth of BattleTech popularity with Ghost Studios, a manufacturer at the cutting edge of technology utilizing a seamless all-digital process from conception to final miniature production.”

The price is US$17.95 for one of the packs, which contains one assembled and one unassembled mech. (So two copies of the Loki, or two copies of the Thor). 

The metal minis go for US$12.50 each (for the Loki) or US$11.50 (for the Thor); so this is cheaper.

Trying to order them online (through www.battlecorps.com), added US$10.50 to the postage for one, US$14 for two packs, bringing the total to US$50 or AUS$56 given current exchange rates – thats aus$14 per mini. Is it worth it? I’m not sure; certainly not at present where I’m not using OmniMechs!

Comparatively, the ten metal Mechs I recently ordered from Paizo (still waiting for them to source the Mechs) came to about aus$110, (including $20 shipping), but they were comparatively cheaper in metals anyway. – so aus$11 each.
