Yeah, no kidding. But the prices there for US customers were pretty ridiculous
when they were casting the things in lead ($10 per battleship, pair of
cruisers, or five escorts) so I don't want to know the price in white metal.

But I was refering to the comment that they're using scratchbuilt models for
the playtesting... which indicates that the models *will* change, which (IMO)
stinks.

Well, I don't think that many people *have* existing Space Fleet collections,
y'know? And most of the one who do are Full Thrust
fanatics, from what I can see. ^_-

Personally, I just wish they'd re-release the minis, without bothering
with the game. (Well, OK, I *am* kinda curious about the game.) But I'd
probably pick up at least a dozen blisters at the drop of a hat....

> Sorry, am I being just a little bit cynical...? ;)

Given Todd Wikel's comment, and my own feelings on the issue, you're not the
only one....

If people really want those old space fleet mini's, Workshop always reckon
that they have all the old moulds, only throwing them away when they have
exceeded their pratical life, which depends on use. However be prepared for
them to want first born children or spare internal organs in exchange.

If anybody needs the part codes to order the stuff sent me a message.

Note that one of these (the one with the twin turret mount --
Annihilator, I think) makes a wicked looking grav tank:
