Re: [SGII] Buildings

Thanks for the review -- I was looking at these just the other day in
the
store.	The thing is, you can't really tell what you are buying due to
the
packaging.  Sure, the artwork on the cover looks nice, but. . .

Actually, the artwork on the cover looked nice enough that I was going
to
give it a try anyway, but now that I have a good review of the product
I'll
definitely pick one up (if I have any money left after GZG ECC2!)
