Ok... so I just realize that i have a whole collection of those "unseen" Battlemech robots sitting on my shelf for like 25 or some years. I got battletech on my 15 birthday and never played it...

I think you got only the cheap plastic ones from the boxed Game. The Metal Versions are more rare. I played in the 90s and i have some real unseen but a lot are recasts. Which was the only solution to get Most of the original mechs before there were official redesigns which where mostly not liked by the Community. The new plastic mech Line ist mostly more like the unseen Models.

I'm currently working my way through painting 50 of the old metal glade guard with spears from like 1995 ready to make 2 units of 25 eternal guard once they bring back Warhammer: The Old World. They were a bit pricey and took some time to find, but well worth the money imo. Older models just have a certain something about them, a charm, that makes them so cool to me.

1:24 Heh, Peter Jackson actually was in the LOTR films three times. The first as a human/drunk (eating a carrot) in the walk up to the inn at Bree. The second as a spear throwing defender at Helms Deep. And the third was as a mercenary, skewered by Legolas (with a little help from Gimli).

From what I know the battletech segment is a bit off, the original Unseen Battledroids/Battletech kits are just imported mecha kits from Japan with some stats printed on the back by FASA/TCI for the game, so the actual kits themselves not super rare (eg. Doyusha reprinted all of their Dougram kits, some of which were part of the unseen line, last year in a $60 boxset) just the boxes that have the stats.

Fun fact: Battletech's fight over the Robotech miniatures was not their first legal knockdown over the game; I remember buying the very first edition of the game, when it was titled "Battledroids", before LucasFilm took them to court over their use of the term "droids", ultimately forcing them to change the name of the game to "Battletech". And the mechs were even more blatantly ripped off from Japanese animation; my game box had two plastic bags containing de-boxed mech kits from the anime series "Fang of the Sun Dougram" (if I'm remembering correctly, they were a Dougram and a Soltic).

I believe KD has actually rereleased that original Forsaker model a couple of times, so if all you want is the model itself and not all the first edition Kickstarter packaging and cards and stuff, you should be able to find it for a little cheaper. The rereleases also have the now-standard round KD bases and not the square plinth thing the original came with.

@@KuK137 Point 1 - They own the IP so it'd be trivial to organise a 3d scan and sculpt of a model without needing the original cast. Point 2 - That's my whole point, they might be dead, in which case it the IP ownership has moved to someone else, or moved on from the industry, yet there's valuable IP just being wasted that could instead be licensed and enjoyed by players.
