Just to let the UK members of this list know in case there is some interest.

At the weekend my better half came home with the Toymax Die-cast Factory
and she also picked up extra molds. Their spaceship mold set.

This url will show you what it looks like.

She bought it in a chain of toy shops called Toy Shack. It was marked down
from £24.99 to £14.99.

I think they were trying to get rid of it. So be quick.

Follow up for US'ers: TRU, crushers of web sites, still has a few sets
locally, and I assume you can still find 'em elsewhere. $10 for the main kit,
$2.50 for the refill,
somewhere in between for the new molds/refill kits. I lost interest when
I couldn't find the spaceship mold.

Warning for all: The refill box is MOSTLY air. You can easily get four boxes
worth in the space of one box. Not a shock to most of us use to most modern
model kits, but stopped me a sec.
