Currently, Valiant does not have a Web site.  I have some printed
material
from the original ads and listings if you are interested.

They will be re-released at the end of summer.	No definite date as of
yet.
I will try to keep all posted on this.	AFAIK the minis will be the
same,
only the molds will be remastered.  I'm not sure what plans they may
have to
exend the line.
