Cool stuff. Thanks for making such a worthwhile pack. Can't find the Ascot listed on the description page, though.
Bought it just because

Got mine this morning around 6:30 before leaving for work. Another 9 hours and I might get to play with it. 
Bought it like 4 hours ago...
Amazing pack, once again.
Big kudos to David & Co for this and all the goodness coming from the incarnate rewards (especially the pixel aura!!!!)

Bought x 3. Got this morning.
Can't wait to get home from work and get Steampunk'd!
Still no female jackets without sleeves, hmm? Who do I have to bribe/smack around to make that happen?
Zwillinger did say they were looking into all the feedback about the steampunk pack and poking the art team into looking at updates for it. Personally, I just hope they fix the clipping issue with the female chest pieces and jackets
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Bought it - like it - just wish the travel power was more than 30 secs at a time. Eeeek outta steam... falls... dies....

Bought it! Gonna go play with it soon! If the art team takes our feedback into consideration, this thing will be even more awesome!
I am SO tempted to make a John Roebling toon to go with my Brooklyn Bridge!

I'm only buying on one account until they allow us to recolor hair with the new hats. (I want to make a steampunk leprechaun on my second account, and brunette hair doesn't really work for him.)

Can't seem to find the jodphur pants listed as a new pattern/texture on the store page.

Wish the jump jet was also a costume option instead of just a temp power.
7 years of asking for rocket packs and still going...
Got it. Loving it. Hoping for tweaks on the parts and perhaps the power.
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
As I commented elsewhere, I am boycotting this pack.
I plan to boycott it until such time as we at least get the coats available for women. There is absolutely no good reason not to let women characters have the coats, and, really, all we get for women characters are corsets and some sleeves. it's a little laughable. Not to mention inherently chauvinistic.

Bought. One goth chick, one pirate-wannabe girl, one time-traveling gunslinger, one airship pirate, and one steampunk professor re-costumed.
I'll wait to see what changes go in before buying this. There's a lot to like here, but c'mon, how about some new female costume items that don't look like they came from Frederick's of Paragon? My female characters want long coats too.
Got it.
Now, with that steampunk "belt" looking as it does... sashes, including Kheldian, please? >.>

I went ahead and bought the thing because there are pieces I wanted for a few of my male characters... But, yeah. This.|

It's getting really tiresome to see great longer coat options come along, only to have them limited to the male side. Women wear coats too, you know.

That chick what plays the bird-things...
There's some awesome stuff in this pack.
Im going to buy it as well now.
I really hope with the tweaks it comes an option to colour males hair with hat, and a curly hairstyle without hat version for females.
OK, Why the heck can't I get the Classic Steampunk 01 Sleeves to match the jackets, sloppy, just sloppy! Now I notice that all the pics used to advertise show those sleeves as white with the jacket/shirt white. No wonder, as its the only color combo that even closely matches.
BOOOOOOO!
Couple bits of feedback:
There is no costume (that I could find) in the dropdown to preview the options together. To make matters slightly worse, there is a costume called "steampunk" using pieces from the core game. It would be nice to have a classic/victorian steampunk option in the dropdown list.
Overall, I don't see myself using a ton of the pieces. It's just not my aesthetic. That said, I really like some of the subtle texturing that gives some of the pieces almost a burlap texture. It looks very nice. The downside of this, however, is that it is a bit harder to mix with other pieces and get the same color.
