Oh, yeah.  I actually picked up a Blackstone Fortress, but that was
because
the store owner offered me a discount if I could get it painted for the
in-store demo two days later.  I did.... ^_^  I'm waiting for a sale
before
I go for any of the BBs, my stock of Space Fleet ships does juuust fine
as
Imperial cruisers, and the plastics then make nice battlecruisers.

...?  Up here, the Shadow and Eclipse are both the same price... how

are your escort blisters?  (As for mislabeling, the local store received
blisters of Hemlocks -- the pulsar-lance ships -- that were mislabeled
as
Nightshades -- torp DDs.  I didn't have Hemlocks for a while, until I
looked more closely at all the Nightshade blisters....)
