Subject: B5W Minature Quality

The Babylon 5 Wars miniatures should also work fine for FT. However I was
disappointed in the quality. The minis don't even fit on the stands without
glue. I miss the quality of the SFB minis. They just pressed onto the stands.
The detail on the B5W minis also seems lacking. The amount of mold marks and
flash is very high. I would like other peoples input. Am I expecting too much,
or has my shop just gotten a bad run of product.

What you've got is a bad production run. The first run of the the B5W minis
were made by Bad Dog Designs. Agents of Gaming just recently terminated their
association with them because of the quality of their minis. For a short time,
Reaper stepped in to help them cast the fighter minis they need for their box
sets. Right now, AoG has put together their own casting house from which they
plan on putting out the next run of ships. The next release, which is supposed
to be next month, will include all
of the capital ships from the boxed set and a re-modeled Sharlin that is
supposed to have more detail.
