this is going to be fantastic fielding a full company of these. the most unexpected defense to go up against. yes, I will be getting 12 of these plus 2 command units. (14) also, I am not a 3 day gaming tourist. I've been playing since Battledroids. playing standard battletech at battalion and regiment strength is a typical Saturday 4 to 5 hour battle. having these in addition to my battalion of urbanmech city defense forces, will be a lot of fun!

@DrBanzai I know. I was just stirring the pot a bit. I did kit bash my own Urbie LAM - it was a kit bash challenge. I prefer my version over the CGL version. personally, I agree with your video. they would have been much better off making a set of actual LAM boxes. Stinger, Wasp and Phoenixhawk. those would have been well received.

I've heard this box was always going to be urbie, they just chose a lam version instead of 2-3 different urbie modals. I actually like lams and while I like how silly this modal is I do have to agree that canon mechs should have priority. Plenty of good mechs are unavailable or metal only.

Instead of buying the UrbanLAM set, I should find a copy of "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension." It's certainly not a thin joke that went on so long it became a waste of resources. The best thing about BT was always the customization. The comments have repeated reminders that UrbanLAM does not conform to the construction rules. Soon it will... and with a bit of cut&glue it will do so while carrying nukes.

Yes and no. This served well as a light hearted official release of a product and one that has been rather popular and well received. Even if you absolutely dislike it there is still a positive net benefit for you: sales. Which means more products down the line and/or greater capacity of products. With literally every other force pack being serious, a single joke one in this wave or year doesn't hurt.

@@DrBanzai What can I say - none of us are entitled to get what we think is "necessary" 🤷♂️ If we were, I would rage at the Blackjacks. Hate those things. So, this is not for you. Fair enough. But it seems to me that there are enough people enjoying this release to make it worthwhile. And if CGL decide to have more Urbie shenanigans in the future, that is their prerogativ. Besides, this might be them dipping their toes into the LAM pool; if this goes well it just might make it more likely to get "serious" / more traditional LAMs in the future. Seriously though, there is even a Blackjack in the Dragoons lance box, what's the deal with that? Ugly fekkers.

It is silly - but it is enjoyable. Though I wish they kept Bishop Steiner's LAM Urbie cockpit orientation. Personally, I find this more palatable and believable than some of the eras. But, different people enjoy different things - and I am sure there are people who are thrilled to see various era 'mechs, while there are others who will never use them. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they aren't forced to buy it. Just hoping to see some sheets for them (even if 100% unofficial). The thing I take from this, is that maybe, just maybe, we will see other LAM box sets.
