RE: Yamato kits

How odd. I just picked up a bunch of the kits in this line last weekend 
at an otherwise unremarkable model expo here in California. The guy was 
selling them for $3 each, he had a large box full of 'em, and he wasn't 
hesitant about parting with them (he threw a few extra into my bag). 
I didn't ask him how plentiful his supply was. Maybe the box load was
it. 

I agree that the models are very nice. For Full Thrust, I think the 
various Earth destroyers and cruisers look best, but that's partly 
because I'd feel silly fielding a whole fleet of Yamatos. The kits 
contain a surprising amount of parts for models that range from about 
4" - 5" long. At the very least, they're great sources of parts
(turrets, 
antennae, etc.) to use with other minis.
