	Well... I was one of the lucky ones who managed to arrive in the
store the
moment that the Minbari Warcruisers hit the shelves.... it's all painted
now and assembled..... mmwahahahaah... ahem, anyways.  Plus I managed to
obtain a copy of the game itself, again as it hit the shelf....
basically,
the miniatures themselves are fairly detailed, the scale is a tad
annoying,
i.e. fighters being so big and all, the biggest problem I have with them
is
the casting job, the minis I have are all from the original company that
did the casting, the name escapes me, and they are of a somewhat .....
lower quality than one could hope for, they needed a bit of cleaning and
so
forth, some miscasting.  Nothing to annoying though.  They are nice to
have
anyway, overall I am satisfied with my money/time spent.  :)  However, I
will still be buying some more Full Thrust ones, plan to use them a.) in
Ful Thrust games (of course) and b.) as League ships in B5 Wars.

	Hope this helps y'all... now back to our regularly scheduled
programming....
