For all you guys out there looking for sci-fi miniatures, I stumbled
onto this site a few months ago. It does have 25mm scale vehicle miniatures
and an alien race that could used as the Kra'vak. After seeing it, I found the
miniatures to be interesting and worth the money. It's a small business and I
like to think we helped support them by passing on the word.
Some of their miniatures are not meant to be highly detailed because of their
size. I can say this though: The Price Is Right. In some instances, you can
get miniatures for as many as 5 for as little as
$2.00
(they do accept overseas orders and they can be ordered directly through the
Internet) You can build a LARGE unit in no time at all with this
company, and best of all - their on-line catalog has photos of their
wares. Give 'em a look, I think you'd like them.

Can anyone tell me how to get the official stats for the DS II vehicles that
are out on the market? No one here seems to have an answer.

As far as I know, there are no official stats for any miniatures. A turreted
armored fighting vehicle could have a HVC, HKP, or MDC cannon mounted on it,
and they would all look pretty much the same at
1/300 scale. If Jon or KR were to say, "The Jupiter tanks MUST have MDC
cannons in their turrets," I'd just ignore it and play with my own designs,
anyway.:)

Now, I don't want to throw foundless accusations around, (especially
not if they're directed at someone with an army.mil e-mail address
;-)) but over on the rec.games.miniatures newsgroup the site you're
plugging is the worst offender for posting ads into totally unrelated threads,
I hop we're not about to see the start of that on this list.

Short answer: There aren't any.
Longer answer: First, do you mean the older Future Wars miniatures or the new
Dirtside ones? For the former there are no stats, but the miniatures are very
generic anyway.
For the latter, the stats for a handful of them are given in the appendices to
the Stargrunt rulebook. (The Vehicle stats for a SGII vehicle and a DSII
vehicle are nearly identical.)
A list of those miniatures with stats given are:
DSM 101 (SF25-93) Gauntlet hover APC - NSL LKPzW VI page 68.
DSM 104 (SF25-86) Phalanx APC - NAC FV202 page 68.
DSM 105 (SF25-88) Hoplite MMRV - NAC FV701 page 68.
DSM 106 (SF25-89) Hunter MMRV - NAC FV703 page 68.
DSM 112 (SF25-28) Wombat APC - FSE/OU AGCI-5B page 69.
And that's it. You'll have to invent the rest of the stats yourself.
Cheers,
