Sooo Happy at the moment

Despite the events of the past 2 months(in-laws and employee problems), Life managed to drop by, give me a card and apologize.

/background/

For the past 15 years, my dirty little secret has been that I play/collect Battletech in all its forms. DON'T JUDGE ME! unfortunately, about 5 years ago I took on a roommate and most of my 'collection' disappeared. The short story is, he was insane.

/end background/

I get a call this morning from a friend of the old roommate,

FoR: *paint ball worker*, its Pete. I found some of *douchebags* stuff, can you come and see if any of its yours.
Me: sure *drives over*

My entire collection, miniatures, out of print books, EVERYTHING ! Was there. Including some stuff I never thought was missing!

*SQUEE*

Move along citizen, nothing to see here. Just a grown man squeeing like a schoolgirl over giant robots.

While I LOL'd, I think that's awesome. Grats.

Lord knows I'd be after someone if they stole my Hello Kitty or Doctor Who items.

[Eevie]

How awesome! Don't you just love those days when life seems to kiss you right on the lips?

[Crossbow]

From one Battletech junkie to another, AWESOME! Glad you got your stuff back!

Absolutely no reason for it to be a dirty little secret. It's a fun game with lots of cool minis.

If you're still missing anything (as long as it's not unseen), let me know and I'll see if I can help you out.

The only things I'm missing are my old Star League sourcebook, and my fat-lance(3 fatapults and a Crescent Hawks Phoenix Hawk LAM), the rest is safe and sound.

I can't wait for November when my dedicated gaming table shows up(BTW, if your ever in Ottawa, Ontario--my Coyotes need a.good fight)

I'm picturing a beam of light out of the clouds and angels singing. Was it like that?

The LAM might be a bit on the hard side to recover, considering how rare they are.

And by "fatapults," should I take that to mean the old plastic box set ones?

[paintballworker]

Yes, they are the ancient plastic ones.

[Crossbow]

Yes, they are the ancient plastic ones.

Let me see what I can do. I might have a couple laying around. I've got plenty of the new metal ones (including some of the PPC variants), so I really don't need the plastics...

[paintballworker]

I kitbashed my three K2 Catapults, along with most of my SLDF Regiment that I'm in the process of making.

[Crossbow]

Got any Mackies for that SLDF regiment?

[paintballworker]

6, including my Commanding Officers custom Mackie.

I also have 8 kitbashed Phoenix Hawk LAMs and 4 Wasp LAMs.

Take reseen PHawk, attach legs and arms to a Mechbuster fighter, add jump jets on top...voila, SLDF Phoenix Hawk LAM

Too bad that, when it first happened, you couldn't have arranged for a Stalker to get on Douchebag's case. On the other hand, maybe he'll face the "wrath of God" in the form of a plague of Locusts.
