I didn't know this... Interesting..:hmm:

I have quite a collection from fasa. Ever since the pc's games started to rule table tops are all but extinct... But I kept all my books. Never know when I will need them again.

You would have loved the collection I 'used' to have.. Regretfully I lost all of it except for a few items in a house fire.

I think what I miss the most are the original paintings and drawings done of numerous Battlemechs. They were unbelievably beautiful images, some in poster size and of just about every Battlemech model design. Of course they were set in different settings from planetary to space to battles scenes etc. There were even some of jump ships, Aerotech units and other space craft. I envy those that still have their copies because they were one of my favorite things I had. Those artists were just awesome.
