What is in your BattleTech collection?
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 10:02 am
As we all know there was allot of cool things that have been made for the BattleTech universe (games, toys, posters, trinkets....). I know there are allot of things out there that i do not have or never even heard of. But i am mostly curious to know what everyone else here has for BattleTech paraphernalia.
I have posted some pictures of what I have, but I will go over what I got that I think is more of a rarity and unique.
To start off I will go over what is sitting in the bookshelf, on the top you will see some of the boxes to the Tyco BattleMech toys from the BattleTech cartoons.
Standing in the CCG card box is a TimberWolf toy that my brother got me (which I think from the dark ages) it has the Wolfs Dragoons logo on it.
On the top shelf some of the neater things you will find are the Technical Blueprints (all three sets and the posters themselves are in great condition). The three sets would be “Medium OmniMech Techprints” FASA-1662, “OmniMech Blueprints” FASA-1661, and “Technical Blueprints” FASA-1615.
We also got the Wolf Clan sourcebook and Jade Falcon sourcebook, The Star League sourcebook, the original MechWarrior RPG rulebook (along with the second and third edition). The original BattleTech Compendium rulebook (which shown a Ghost bear TimberWolf on the cover), the newer compendium (which had a Jade Falcon TimberWolf on the cover). The original Master Rules (which had a Zeus on the cover) as well as the revised edition which had a TimberWolf on the cover. The Original TROs 2750, 3025, 3026, 3050, 3055, 3057, and 3058.
There is also a NIB set of BattleMech Recognition cards sitting on a small collection of novels that I have. I also have a set of those cards in a binder placed in base-ball card sheets.
Moving onto the second shelf we have complete copies of BattleTech Boxed sets. I have AeroTech, BattleSpace Reinforcements & Reinforcements 2, CityTech (original copy, it has cardboard map sheets instead of paper), Battle Droids (NIB with shrink-wrap), BattleTech Second Edition, BattleTech Third Edition (complete with all the plastic mechs), BattleTech Fourth Edition, Wiz kid’s CBT Boxed Set, The Succession Wars (FASA-1612), and Solaris VII – The Game World.
Stashed away in another box at the bottom of this bookshelf I have all the Heavy Metal programs, a complete set o clothing patches made by Virtual World, a Clan Ghost bear Patch (I think this was something someone remade and sold on eBay, not sure on this), a Solaris Championships – 3053 lapel pin (shows a Timberwolf in the middle of it). Another part of my collection (it is not BattleTech, it came of an old wood/coal burning Furnas) is a metal plate with “MW” stamped in it, if you haven’t played MW for awhile at first glance the lettering style would remind you of the game title. And a pair of Wolf-Net dice.
Along with the recognition cards in that binder I have in protective sleeves BattleTech Posters. I forgot I had this many!
“BattleTech: Return of Kerensky” looks like the cover art to the FASA 3050TROs.
“BattleTech: The Clans Are Here!” has the cover art of the original Compendium rulebook (a GB TimberWolf with a tore up elemental at its feet).
“BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat” it has the same artwork as on the BattleTech Fourth Edition boxed set.
Two copies of the ones that just says “BattleTech” at the top it has the same cove-art as the Operation Flashpoint scenario book.
“MechWarrior: Get out of year mech and into the action” the same artwork that was on the MechWarrior Third Edition rulebook.
“BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat” shows a big War hammer as seen on the BattleTech boxed sets as well as two smaller pictures from the AeroTech boxed set and CityTech boxed set.
“BattleMech and Vehicle Recognition Chart: 3030” shows a bunch of mechs and vehicles from 3030 (I think the artwork is from the Recognition Cards, also at the bottom it says “BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks’ Revenge” and has the INFOCOM logo) I think it was distributed with the game.
“Classic BattleTech” I am not sure if this artwork was on anything or not but I seen it on the CBT site before (it is a clustered battlefield of mechs tanks and infantry as well a s several aero fighters and VTOLs in the with lasers going everywich way with tons of explosions).
Another one here that just says “BattleTech” it has an Axmen (or hatchetman) and three people holding weapons at the bottom overall the picture has a very red/orange hue to it, it is the cover-artwork from the “Blood of Heroes” novel.
“BattleTech: The Future of Warfare” it has an Atlas on it (aqua in color), Copyright 1987.
“BattleTech: Now It’s Our Turn!” It is the 10th Anniversary poster that shows a cropped image of the Atlas four times in different colors (Purple, Blue, Red, and Teal).
“Do you have What It Takes To Survive?” it is the BattleTech CCG poster with a TimberWolf on it.
and finally a smaller poster “MechWarrior: The BattleTech Role Playing Game” it shows the cover art to the first MW RPG rulebook, and is done up to look like a recruiting poster for House Davion.
Also hanging on display I have the InnerSpher map poster from Solaris VII (it is another one I picked up that did not have the boxed set).
