I got most of the Comster battle Level II solely from salvage boxes, also a large number of assault mechs, including a King Crab. The boxes have been pretty good to me.

I got one from Amazon that had clearly been opened, and based on the condition of the box, probably repacked and returned. I kept the previously-dispossessed 'Mech, but I suspect being able to inspect the box before purchase makes the random contents a lot more fair.

[@ShadrackMeduson]

no duplicates, no ''common/rare/ultra rare'' and all that blindbox bullshit. These packs seem like a great deal, completly random as it should be, not rigged to give you duplicates like candy, completly fair in value and no matter what you get it all can be used for the game. These are blind boxes i can truly find myself buying to collect and play.

Got a king crab from a salvage box. That alone made it worth for me.

[@andrewamann2821]

I kinda dig the idea of blind boxes, and, if I could get a couple of retailer units from a trusted source, I absolutely would. That said, my options to do so have been kinda limited. Unfortunate, really.

[@vyncstar]

without looking at it i thought the Salvage boxes would have come with like 5 Parts of mecs for you to assemble and each part if different. but a whole mech yes please

[@magnushobbiesandgaming7683]

I think that is a brilliant idea! You could FranchenMech more models and also customise poses.

[@Chris-dz3rs]

I wouldn't mind actually finding any to buy.

[@CyberCheese392]

I just want that mad dog lol

Given that pristine salvage boxes have been repeatedly shown to just be one force pack after another I'd say your first set of 9 was just a random selection put together after some degree of cherry picking or random purchases - the second one was pristine though with one mech from the clan support star followed by a complete inner sphere direct fire lance and 4/5s of the clan fire star

It's a Maddog if I'm not mistaken?

[@gamerhalim4717]

I’m still looking vendicator. From Indonesia 🇮🇩. I have 3 box’s set.

[@magnushobbiesandgaming7683]

The Vindicator is in the new beginner box.

[@yogapantsyogurtpants3365]

They work for a game like this.

[@mangotango1984]

Ita cheaper that magic..... so yes

[@zenster1097]

Random boxes seems so scammy and gambling-esque

[@sebastianrubin7476]

As long as you can buy boxes with known contents alongside the salvage boxes, I think it's fair. For some people, the surprise itself is worth as much as the mini. And, unlike lotteries, while there's a pretty hard cap on how 'much' you can win, you're also guaranteed a mech; you won't get an empty box with a note suggesting you try again.

I believe the salvage boxes were asked for by the community, it wasn't something CGL pushed for.

[@JM16714]

Seems like a legit fun option for like a tournament prize and way to sell single mechs at a reasonable price and also safely for the companies bottom line. A blind box is hard to overprint, but print thousands of single mech packs that the market doesn't want, and then catalyst is holding an empty bag.

[@gerbenvanessen]

during the first kickstarter they made salvage boxes so people could get an extra mech for their clan forces, people liked the blind boxes. So they made them to now have a wider array of possible mechs, because that is what the people wanted. just buy the boxes with the known contents then trade/swap if you do not like them I guess?
