Hey! I got quite a few Star Blazers minis, and I think the quality is quite
nice. The only problem I have with them is that I have trouble
with the photo-etched parts that they come with.  I have a hard time
cutting them from the sprue. BTW I've been talking to Keith Johansen (the guy
how came up with the game)and he admits that there are a few minor flaws in
the Star Blazers game that he intends on ironing out. Particularly in the area
on missile attacks. He's working on a chart that will handle massive amounts
of missiles and weapons at various ranges. If it works out you won't have to
roll for each of 100 missiles to any of them hit the ship.

I beg to differ. I took my Amoeba (my dice collection - so named by
several of my less charitable cadre of regular gaming pals/hostile
targets who thought my collection was self accumulating..... and I eventually
conceded it had an appetite, if not intelligence) with me to Gen Con 20 a few
years back, and on the way back through Pearson International Airport in TO,
the US Customs gave me quite a time as they were staunchly convinced I'd
either bought them there or was
importing.....

(Of course, the fact I was wearing my Con buttons like "The way to a mans
heart is with a broadsword" or "Level doesn't matter when you're dead"
probably influenced their reactions with some negative
modifier.....)

Hmm.... well, I'll give them another look, but the few blister packs I
peered into contained vaguely Yamato-like ships with an appalling lack
of surface detail. Perhaps with a bit of paint though...
