I'd like to second this motion.  Agents of Gaming changed over to the
"T"
type slotta base stands for all their B5W ships in the middle of last
year.
They were very small bases, and were also very weak.  In their infinite
wisdom, AoG was packaging these horribly weak stands on all of their
minis -
and as most of you know, many of the B5W minis are very large and heavy
(we
call them "maxis" around here).  This caused a great many of the ships
to
break off the top of the stand.  For this reason, I ordered and use Full
Thrust pewter bases for the ships that came with those stands.
