Subject: [SGII] Bugs, Mr. Rico! A whole lot of 'em!
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a big fan of Riveresco (http://www.halcyon.com/shamrock/) figures. They tend to be crudely sculpted, stiffly posed, and awfully skinny (John McEwan is of the 25mm = 1/72nd scale school of thought). But, that being said, some of his figures are pretty neat. And the prices are usually right (except for his landships, cool though they are....). And the Dreenoi -- Insectoid aliens -- are one of his better lines. The new expansions to the Dreenoi (http://members.xoom.com/minipage/new/shaSep99v1.html) make them even better suited toward properly Heinleinan "Starship Trooper" Bugs. I'm actually going to place an order for these, along with some of his cheap helicopters (for use with Destroy All Monsters!). That's it. I just thought that folks might be interested. Espscially with all the recent talk about nukes....
