Repeat Starter. Decent contents, too much repetition.

I'm not a huge fan of "Japanese Robots," but I saw the Battletech Essentials set at Target and was like "I didn't know BT was back!" ANY kind of Starter is worth getting, so I did, and was sufficiently pleased that when I found there were TWO actual Starters I bought them both,
Don't do that. Unlike the D&D equivalents, there is not enough different to make all that worthwhile, even for Starters.
All three sets have the exact same abbreviated rules and a little intro to the BT universe. However, everything else is identical between the two Starters, other than ONE miniature: same novella, same map, same cardboard accessory board, same cards. Only thing different is the specifics for that one mini.
SO: Get the Essentials set (which has a buncha different stuff). Then, pick ONE Starter, leave the other one alone, a second isn't worth it. I myself like the "old" starter, 'cos Griffin.
