I don't know if anyone has seen this set before, but I picked up an Albion
assault carrier set a few weeks back from the Bandai Gundam toy line. It's the
carrier from Gundam 0083, and several of the GZG IJN ships look to have been
inspired by the design.

ANyway, the ship is about a foot long and 5" wide. It may yet make an
appearance as a largish troop lander, or maybe a scenery piece in a starport
battle.

The best part is the set comes with five tiny mobile suit figures, which have
"Dirtside II combat walker" written all over them. The detail is pretty good
for soft plastic.

I've tossed some pictures up on my website at:

Now the only problem is getting enough to put a decent sized element together.

Those look very nice. I'd want several dozen of the suits for Lightning
Strike, that's exactly the size I want.
