Subject: What is AoG thinking? 

I just bought the Poseidon Supercarrier and Babylon 5 station figures at
40% 
off at D&J hobbies. 

I think I was robbed. 

the Poseidon is the worst molded piece of crap I have ever seen.
completely 
warped, no parts fit together, tons of flash etc. I had to literally 
kit-bash it to get it to fit with extra putty and metal spacers. 

Now that it is done it IS humongous and hellishly impressive. which
brings 
us to babylon 5. 

The Poseidon is about 10 times the size of the B5 station figure. Both
are 
in the same size box, but the B5 figure is about the size of a large
Sharpie 
marker. originally 35+ dollars? 

even at 40% off these figures are a HUGE Games Workshop scaled rip -off 

don't waste your time.

mike, 

thanks for the review, as i was about to order B5.  i suppose i will
attempt to kitbash 
something together or just make a big counter.	although, a mini would
be much better....

i appreciate the warning as i would also have been disappointed.

so mike, have you made any new color counters recently?  i sure would
like to use them as i 
now have a 600x600 dpi color printer.
