Yeah, no kidding.  But the prices there for US customers were pretty
ridiculous when they were casting the things in lead ($10 per
battleship, pair of cruisers, or five escorts) so I don't want to know
the price in white metal.

But I was refering to the comment that they're using scratchbuilt models
for the playtesting... which indicates that the models *will* change,
which (IMO) stinks.

Well, I don't think that many people *have* existing Space Fleet
collections, y'know?  And most of the one who do are Full Thrust
fanatics, from what I can see. ^_-

Personally, I just wish they'd re-release the minis, without bothering
with the game.	(Well, OK, I *am* kinda curious about the game.)  But
I'd probably pick up at least a dozen blisters at the drop of a hat....

>Sorry, am I being just a little bit cynical...?   ;)

Given Todd Wikel's comment, and my own feelings on the issue, you're not
the only one....
