  What I'm wondering is if there are any fleet

Just so everyone is aware, we will begin the changes mentioned to the 
packaging of the FT miniatures shortly.  There will be three changes:  

1) we will switch from blisters to a graphic display box - a sturdy 
clamshell that looks just like a blister.  Save these, they make 
useful, reusable storage.

2) all numbers (x)02 thru (x)08 will have their quantities increased 
per pack, and plastic bases substituted for metal.  So now there will 
be four each scouts and corvettes, three each frigates and 
destroyers, and two each of cruisers.

3) the price on Heavy Cruisers will increase to $7.50, but you'll be 
getting two models.

All fighters and the larger models will remain unchanged except that 
we will altering the pack contents of the bits on the larger ships to 
conform to the Fleet Book.  All fighters and models (x)09 and larger 
(including all the currently released merchant ships) will retain the 
metal bases and posts.	We will continue to sell metal bases and 
posts as separate items under the stock # FT001

We are looking into the above mentioned fleet (squadron?!?) packs, 
we'll probably have that item ready in a couple months.  As a side 
note:  we will definitely be packing up the Stargrunt and Dirtside 
minis in unit packs, but haven't made any decisions as to pack 
contents as yet - we could use list help on this!!
