Re: Beginnings of a fleet

Micro machines made a spaceship line that was pretty nifty, but I got in

on the tail end of the production (only in the bargain bins and only a 
few good ones left)  I think there were 8 sets.  I've been looking for 
spaceship figs like that ever since I got started on space minis. alas, 
I cannot find any cool cheap plastic spaceship figgies in a scale that 
is even close to FT.

I did get a bargain when a guy sold me a wooden carry box wth about 100 
silent death figs for US$50.  Heck the box was worth that alone.
