I recently finally found one of the Galood Die cast metal Star Destroyers.
This model is about 20% larger than the plastic Star Destroyer, making a nice
flagship for you fleet of Imperial Types. The Star Destroyers from this line
are very hard to find, but are a very nice model for $5. Thought I'd let
everyone know about it. Now if I could find a few more of those RAFM traveller
scouts to use as escorts for my fleet of Star Destroyers.....

Yes, they are excellent ships for flagships in FT. I use the standard as my
Victory Class Star Destroyers and the Larger one as my Imperial Class Star
Destoyers. Now I need something to use as an Imperial Fighter
Carrier....

The scouts would be a good idea for escorts. Dean and I have recently
discussed using Dominion ships from PewterCraft and Terran ships from Superior
together since they have like styles. I think both would interest you since
they share the wedge shape and look of a SD. I plan to use these same ships
with the FSE since they look alike as well. I'll probably use the Superior
stuff for larger ships like Superships since they dwarf most of the existing
FT line.

As with most Galoob stuff, their distribution varies. In a local Toys R' Us,
they had a rack of 7 of the large Star Destroyers. They also have, in the same
line, larger fighter models. They seem a little too big for something like
Silent Death, and are far too big for Full Thrust, though.

You might want to check out Taco Bell. They sell (for C$1.50, which will
probably be about US$1) some small Star Wars toys. The two relevent to Full
Thrust are the Death Star and Bespin Cloud City. Both are larger than their
Galoob equivalents, and would make nifty space stations in Full Thrust.
