I assume that whoever owns the Babylon 5 (B5) masters
also owns the Fleet Action (FA) size (thus the FA
fighters and not the B5). I have a suspicion that the
FA will be released at a later time after the release
of B5. If FA came first or had been even announced it
would have impacted sales of B5 and have caused loss
of sales for B5. I suggest you wait and see.
