    I actually just sold my whole collection because of this. I had kept up through Return to Hoth then it just got to be too much. Return to Hoth, some character packs, Bespin, another handful of character packs, and then a third wave of character packs in the span of a little over 7 months is just too much to keep up with. Retail price on all of it is well over $200 and that's in just that short of a period.

    Someone mentioned MtG earlier in the threaded far as being expensive, and it can be depending on what you want to do. The thing Magic has going for it though is there is a very robust secondary market for unloading cards. You likely won't be making money on it but if you know when to sell and when to buy then you can dramatically decrease your cost into the game.

    there may come a point where this line is abbandoned for another product.  Very few games last that long.  Even ones with cult followings like star wars.  The mech warrior clicks game went the way of the dinos

    Mw: Dark age had some BIG issues. Including incredible power creep, best stuff being prize only and became a who has the longest range game by the time Falcons prey came out. Add to that the fact that most factions were changed from the classic BT factions and it was bound to expire.

    That game was ruined for me as soon as they introduced the Helicopters and everyone started running lists of 3(or was it 4) of that one particular helicopter. Artillery was mildly annoying but still kind of fun, those helicopters on the other hand just ruined any enjoyment in the game. It was essentially like as soon as you saw someone set those guys down on the table you knew exactly how the whole game was going to play out.

    I was actually just thinking about this the other day too because the whole 4 y's with TLT reminded me so much of the cheesiness of running that 3-4 helicopter list in mechwarrior. It's no fun to play against and you know exactly how those games are going to go. Granted, 4 y's with TLT at least has some counters you can run but those helicopters man, they absolutely ruined mechwarrior for me.
