Okay on the CGL page they had that the TRO3145 had a street date of Sept 11 (today) yet NO online RPG seller event lists the book and Amazon still (as of 0930 CST) this morning was still only list pre-order with a TBA for shipping date.

So did it get delayed or did something change? Or are they still behind from their trip to Gen Con?

I wonder if they put the wrong product down as I can see Field Manual 3145 on drivethru.

Having just skimmed 3145 how did the Fed Suns get so bashed up?

Seems the writers want it to be that way, after all they can't win all the time...seems every so often they mash one or more up...

A bit late, but I have TRO3145, which I picked up at GenCon a month ago or so?

I'm just saying that I have seen a physical copy. I have not seen them in a retail outlet yet.

My copy arrived in the mail. Took it to the local game store and the folks there were like well we will see what we can do. Still not worth the $40 price tag they (CGL) wants for it though.

I would be happier with the big TRO if I did not have the PDFs. Basically I feel like if I want all the included mechs I need to shell out for both. I understand the monetary reasoning...but I don't like feeling like I'm forced into purchases to cover all the units.

Oh they did a pull a good one on us with this one, see in the back of FM3145 they mention a Republic of the Sphere TRO3145 has the number 7 at the end of the catalog number since the Clan 3145 TRO is ending in number 8, but then Herbs nope no number 7 sorry about that and to get the missing mechs and all we have to buy the DTF book, which gives us something like 15 to 20 new items and some extra fluff for the stuff we had if you bought the PDFs. If this is their plan going forward I see it doing more damage since folks won't buy the DTF if the majority of it is going to be reprinting of the PDFs and I am sure if we wait a couple of months this TRO can be found for download on the net...
