 I noticed this too back in November.  I emailed Brookhurst Hobbies
twice, 
 once on 11/3 and again on 11/18 with no response so far.

 What I have heard (2nd hand) is that they are OK but not much more and
one 
 of the fleets has a marble in the middle.  The same source also said
that 
 Brookhurst is a pain to deal with and my experience so far does not
make 
 them look any better.	I should really call them and force them to
respond 
 to me.

 SDD is another one of those UK miniatures companies that those of us 
 across the pond know little if anything about.  Brookhurst is the US 
 distributor for SDD and several other companies but they don't seem to
be 
 spreading the word much.
 
 The M Collective would like to get pictures of their minis on the web,
if 
 we can ever contact someone.  The web page for Pendraken's Space 
 Dreadnought 3000 line is very close to being done, all the pics are up
and 
 running, just the final page formatting and tweaking left, so there
should 
 be an announcement soon.........
