I've been buying everything but clickytech. It's been slowing down a bit since I've got most of the TRO's and haven't been buying the Jihad stuff yet. Not sure if I will but I'm not sure that I won't. But I will be buying the core books I don't have and probably a couple more for my nephew. Haven't really been interested in the newer styles mechs. They look... well, strange compared to the classics

I exercise a degree of care and restraint in my battletech purchases, though I still feel a compulsion to absorb new information like one of those infomercial wowshamy thingers. It's a balancing act between destitution and liking to know stuff.
Technically, my last battletech related purchase was a quartet of CAV minis (right scale and fifty percent off!)

I only buy a few things these days, usually the core rule books, one or two source books, and maybe a DA novel (but that has tapered off because of a few books were horrendously bad). I no longer have room to buy everything, nor the money to have it sent to Japan, nor do I play as often as I did, so, unfortunately, my interest in everything from books to minis has waned a great deal.

Mmm, coffee.

I get mostly board game rules and novels. The Starterbooks, Handbooks, and HotSpots books I do have, I've only gotten because I've had the money lately.

Have owned the box sets since 86, Finally got sucked it as the Unseen became such. Have since filled out the collection to have everything printed except the original Battledroid box set, and continue to pick up each supplement almost as soon as it comes out, will sometime wait and order 2 or 3 together, but currently am up to date and anticipating the release of the RPG. Managed to amass a collection of about 1000 mini's, but as fundage has dried up am only buying about 1 fig a month nowadays.

Always used to buy everything but now tend to just get the TROs and the occasional other product if I fancy it.
Will buy the new novels if/when they appear...

I buy the boardgame stuff mostly- I'm fine with novels and such, but its money I don't have usually for a BC subscription and such.

I'm pretty much out of stuff to buy. Aside for some of the really, really old unit books... I've got them all. *sigh*

Yes I still buy Battletech products. I'll buy new books every now and then, but I have been on a Miniatures binge for the last two years. Just bought Blake Documents and awaiting its arrival. I don't subscribe to Battlecorps. I will be splurging a bit this summer by ordering the Art and Fiction book and 25th Anniversary Box Set when they release. Really don't want to miss out on those. Oh and StratOps one of these days.  |

Hey look, a penny!

I buy both new and old products for Battletech. I would have to say minis are the bulk of my purchases followed by source books. I do have a few novels and have bought a couple but they are low on the list. I have been known to buy the occasional clicky tech infantry stand though.

I am eagerly awaiting knew things, and every so often buy one of the few old ones I missed.
The only thing I don't buy immediately (anymore) are the miniatures. Though I am starting to build up again.

Except Record Sheets Books I try to buy everything that is published in dead-tree form, though once in a while I'll pass up on a product if said product fails to garner my interest.

I love the Jihad but my funds are limited so I don't buy many books. I try to pick up a mini or two each month, but that's about it at the moment. I will be splurging a bit this summer by ordering the Art and Fiction book and 25th Anniversary Box Set when they release. Really don't want to miss out on those.
Ditto. Absolutely need to get those. |

If it can be bought, then I'm all for getting my hands on it.

As finances allow, I'm alternating between the new rulebooks and the old boxed sets, with a few MW pieces thrown in for fun.

Space is where they play.

I buy all the new books, and all of the new Aerotech Mini's. Any new t-shirts at the conventions and new books are my first buy. I would like to buy more but money, life and space is the largest problem. I would like to have a goal of 500 Aerotech Warships before I stop, but I know I wont.

Other. Most of my BT-dedicated income is spent on MW/AoD minis, followed by IWM minis, then novels. I'm not much of a player these days so I don't buy source/rulebooks, and I've thought about buying a TRO just to have a few times but never did.

I have bought a few things recently, but haven't even been that interested in them. Don't think I'll buy much in future save for perhaps miniatures and maybe TROs. Though as I said I didn't do more than flip through my last TRO. Kind of a waste of space on my shelf really.

I buy pretty much anything new and boardgame related from my FLGS... also will select sourcebooks from the FASA/gamepro days off ebay, etc. I probably spend a few hundred dollars a year on BT stuff.

Buy pretty much everything (if not when it comes out, when I get around to it), have subscription to Battlecorps, buy old stuff I am missing (not much) when I find it, occasionally pick up minis (but have enough to work on for now)

Absolutely, I've bought everything for BT. And will continue to do so. Just because I can't play much any more, doesn't mean I can't enjoy reading about the latest rules and/or source material with each and every purchase.

I try to buy everything, when I can get my wallet to agree with me. New or old, I'd like to have one of each (except for LAMs, don't care for those).

Thirded. Though I worry that everything will come out at once. Everything I will "Absolutely need". That's why I hate the dominance of Gencon on this industry. Meaning I'd have to drop some ridiculous coin. Might eat up a whole paycheque. |

When I first heard about Anniversary products I figured all these things would be available for order the week of Gencon. I've been building up a reserve the last several months. |

I buy minis on occasion, but mostly books and novels. I don't buy frequently as I am in many other games, but instead do more of the rpg side of the Battletech.

I still buy rpg/setting sourcebooks. Though generally nothing Jihad specific, although I did buy the Blake Documents recently out of idle curiosity.
I'd happily buy novels set in earlier 'historical' eras, were such works to ever be published.
