For UK list members:

Some time ago someone posted the Forbidden Planet (London, UK) had the
much-sought-after Aliens Action Fleet models on sale for £7.99 each -
the ones that apparently never got released officially outside the US. The
range consists of a roughly-25mm APC, an underscale Dropship that works
as a nice small 25mm attack VTOL and the Narcissus, which will also serve as a
smallish 25mm shuttle, aerospace craft or scout.

Well, I've just discovered that the Swag Shop chain of clearance stores has
these models in stock at just £3.99 each! Both the Ipswich and Colchester
stores had them (though myself and a couple of friends have bought most of
what they had!!), so I assume other branches will have stocks too.

Happy hunting!

Ground spake thusly upon matters weighty:

Further, in the US, it would seem that Galoob has stopped making these. Order
them while Galoob still has some. They work well, are very robust, and possess
a certain flair that polystyrene has over resin. They prompted me to figure
out how to implement a SLAM system in SG2 (for the Gunship).
