Scythe Metal Mechs is an individually numbered, foil embossed boxed set containing 1 metal mech (inkwashed zinc) from each faction*. The mechs are protected by a felt-lined insert with a clear plastic lid for display.
The first print run is limited to exactly 4000 sets; it is unlikely that we will make more.
Due to the extremely high cost of producing these mechs–compounded with our desire to keep the price down as much as possible for Scythe fans–we are only selling the mechs directly from our webstore and via localization partners (see list below).
These mechs will be the featured reward in our 2018 charity auction (a special edition numbered 1-40 instead of 1-4000).
Release Details
- Available now!
- For those looking to replace their normal mechs with metal mechs, we offer faction-specific silicon base snaps on our webstore.

These look amazing! If the interest is high enough, is there a chance the second wave of these would become available through US distributors and local game stores? Thank you!
Sean: Thanks for your question. The metal mechs is available to consumers, distributors, and retailers directly from us at the $50 price. Due to the extremely high cost of making them, if we sold the traditional way to distributors, that would be the same price we would need to over, and it would result in the MSRP jumping up to $100, which is much higher than we think consumers should pay for them.
Would postage to the UK be reasonable or out of this world?
It will be the cost the FedEx charges us to ship from St. Louis to the UK.
After filling out a previous survey that assessed interest, I was somewhat surprised that I didn’t here about this directly through a heads up email rather than the Dice Tower newsletter.
We aren’t selling anything yet, hence why no newsletter has been sent.
With the Rise of Fenris out in full release, are there any plans to fill in any gaps that might arise while exploring the campaign?
Nevermind, just noticed the spoiler link.
What time on Nov 2 are you planning to launch? Will those of us on the other side of the globe be punished? ;-)
I don’t like to punish anyone (though keep in mind that there are people in every time zone, so no matter what time I choose, someone is going to be sleeping). I don’t know where you are, but if you’re in Europe, I recommend that you order from our localization partners, not us, as shipping will be much more cost-effective. The US launch will be around 10:00 am CST.
Thanks for the reply, Jamey. I’m in Australia, and I’ve never heard of Let’s Play Games until now. They seem to insist on setting up an account by contacting them first (not simply via the website), and I’m concerned about having problems with that system. Anyway, I’ll wait and see what the time of release is for Champions. Thanks!
Thanks Matt! I’m hoping to have a direct link to Let’s Play by the time we start selling these so you can compare your options.

Awww man, I really want to replace the whole set of mechs in my copy of Scythe for Metal Mechs… But I can’t afford the $200 tag.
I wish we could sell them for less! They’re incredibly expensive to make.
How much will the plastic snaps cost? It’s gonna take some major budgeting to get four of these to play with, so i’m trying to get an exact amount. Thanks for makning these!
They’re $15 for a full set to cover 4 mechs for all factions.

Was this at Essen Spiel 2018 or did you mean next year? If it was there, I am starting to feel regrets I am reading this now
Yes, Feuerland had them at Essen 2018.
For champion orders of 4 mechs…are the plastic snaps added automatically? Or do we have to indicate we want them? I had a set in my cart, but it was charging me the $15 price, and your email from the 25th said they’d be added free of charge for champions that bought 4 sets…so I took them out of my cart and crossed my fingers….lol Now I’m second guessing myself….
If you’re a champion ordering 4 sets of mechs, please do not put the snaps in your cart. We’ll handle it on the back end.
Excellent, i did it correctly. Clearly I just needed more coffee this morning. Thanks Jamey!
I ordered this morning but didn’t see that the snaps are included for champions, so I added and paid for them along with the mechs themselves. Any chance that can be remedied? I don’t want to cancel and re-order in case they’re already sold out! Thanks
Sure, I’ll take care of that.
I also ordered 4 sets and the bases I got free shiping by putting in my champion code. I paid the $215.
Thanks Adam! You didn’t need to add the base snaps (we’re adding them when we pack the Champion shipments). I’ll fix your order.
Wow that was Great, Fast service… I got my email saying I got refunded the $15 less than 2 hours after I posted here! Kuddos to your customer service. Thanks Jamey Stegmaier!
I was so hyped I ran through the process too, wothoit reading the Champion perk added to this purchase. I’m in the same Situation as Charlie Collins. Also, let me take this minute to thanks for making this game reach epic levels of detail, and craftsmanship.
I’m also a champion and I did the same and paid the $215. I think I had missed the initial notice about this though.
I’ll take care of it, Dave! Alfredo, I took care of yours too. :)
Hello
Do you have a Canadian partner
Not for the metal mechs.
These do look fantaasric. Can’t wait to get my hands on them! Lol.
My original comment seems to have poofed into thin air, but I did see the answer to my question first. Thanks Jamey!
Ah well…there’s my response now…you think you’ve updated your page…but nothing like adding a new comment to ‘for realz’ update the page. Haha. Happy Halloween all!
[…] Metal Mechs […]
Worldwide released on November 2… I don’t find any European partner in the list above that sells today the metal mechs set on their website :( does anybody have a link to help me ? Thanks
Many of the mechs are still in transit to Europe, so those partners are waiting until they have them in stock. Feuerland’s website is being updated this week, but they should have the mechs there next week.
Excited for my metal mechs! Any idea of when they will be shipped within the continental US? Just curious :)
They haven’t quite arrived at our warehouse yet, but they should arrive early next week, and we’ll ship them by the end of the week.
Don’t mean to be a bother, but I’m just wondering if we’re still on track for the metal mechs to be shipped out by the end of this week? :)
If you’re a Champion, yes. :)
I just ordered a complete set of 4 with the rubber disks. Can’t wait. Any plan on getting metal characters? If so, can you include a rubber disk with each, It’s too bad the disk set is only 4 each, I wouldn’t want to have to pay another $15 for 36 more disks.
Thanks John! I appreciate your interest, but we’re just going to make metal mechs.
Thanks for the quick response. I hope they sell out so quickly that you change your mind.
I forgot to ask, how are people planning to transport these in their Legendary boxes? I currently use small plastic crayon boxes for the plastic mechs, not sure if putting them in together might scratch the metal ones. Anyone have any thoughts as to the best way to transport?
Thanks John. :) I think the metal mechs will hold up pretty well, though the best way to transport them might be in their inserts.
Are the metal Mechs the same size as the plastic one? I have an organizer and am curious if they would fit in the organizer the same as the plastic ones.
Devin: Yes, they’re the same size–they’ll fit in the organizer.
Heyya Jamey, just a quick question: I have ordered 4x metal mechs so that I can use the metal dudes in a game instead of the plastic ones. Are the coloured snaps included automatically on these orders. I’m not sure if I am confusing “champion orders” with a more generic “4x order”. Just want to be able to easily differentiate the little metal folks without painting ’em up and not sure if I need to order them specifically <- hope some of this makes sense
Hi Nathan, the metal mechs and the base snaps are separate products that are sold separately.
