In this post I'm going to "Toot My Own Horn".  Hence the acronym in the title.  There was some discussion in the Kickstarter comments section about how much mechs cost and what the price would be to assemble a team.  Well, after spending most of a morning surfing the Lego Pick-A-Brick interface, I can say that you can assemble a unit of eight of my Crab Mechs for $36 USD -- not including shipping.

That's right, eight of thesefor only $36.

Here's a link to my Brickshelf gallery of Crab Mecha.

While they're not as impressive as some of the mech designs that are out there, they're still pretty slick and look good as a team.

Not bad, eh?  They also have plenty of options for pallette swapping and alternate parts.  They can also be modified from the original design.  Like so.

Here's the part lists for Bricklink and Pick-A-Brick.
