... speaking of the old GW space fleet, is anyone on the list still collecting
these things? I found a single blister of the 7782 Dictator Battleship, and
I'm kind of curious on how much it's worth...

Sorry, bit of a brain fart here. Is this the spinal mount, looking for all the
world like a musket?

I know I am always on the look out for Spacefleet in bargain bins, but don't
pay the collector prices. Unfortunately, I also haven't seen many in auction,
so can't help you on a 'going' rate. You could always try
http://www.dejanews.com
searching the rec.games.miniatures.* set of groups.

My suspicions are that these will not be hot now that new ships are on the
way. Of course, always plenty of folk trying to round out a collection.

However, I'm sure Someone on this list will want to talk to you. ;->=

PS. I've forgotten: are there any Spacefleet-to-FTII conversion sites?

Well, I'm not interested in trying to squeeze out an overblown auction price
for it if someone here on the list is interested in it, but at the same time
I'd like to get something reasonable, as I really don't know if it's worth $5
or $50.:)

I suspect it isn't really worth much to a 'gamer, given that you could still
ring up GW in Nottingham and buy a new one mail order. Its worth would be to a
collector who _must_ have it in the original blister packaging.

        I'm still working on my own FTFB/Battlefleet Gothic rules.
However, Aaron Teske did come up with his own interpretations of Starfleet
ships for FT II. Try...
