Minis Update

*Stardate:3000 I recently spoke to the folks at Valiant Enterprises regarding
the
re-release of the old Stardate:3000 line of starship minis.  The rep
said their stock was currently empty(of which I tried ordering 8 kits prior
:( ),
but they will be remastering the molds by the end of summer and restart
production once again. For anyone wanting to see a picture of their ships, Jon
T had a Terran Draco class destroyer photographed in the ending pages of the
FT manual along with other suggested minis. Also, I have scanned an image of
the blister cover which shows a Terran Aries class escort cruiser and a
Perseus class cruiser. All the ships are highly detailed and fit into the FT
environment very well.

Thanks to Dean Gundberg for pointing me in the right direction with their
contact information:

*Superior Starfleets I spoke to Bill Char recently while placing an order for
some Superior Starfleets minis and was informed that the price for these minis
will go up in September or therabout, so now is the time to contact Bill to
get a good deal on some great minis.

Many moons ago there was a miniatures sort of game [cardboard counters] called
"Alpha/Omega".  I think it might have been a Yaquinto title.

Well, the art work on the counters was photos of the Stardate:3000 line.
 The
photos were grey-scale on blue so not the sharpest focus .... but still
a good source of photos of the ships if anyone can find a copy of the game.

I actually owned the game for a while, but returned it since I thought the
rules were a bit strange. Now I wish I kept the game just for it relation
to the minis - ship stats, etc.

I just happen to have it! Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner to scan in the
pictures for upload.:(
