The tank destroyers are my favorites.  And the plastic is soeasy to wrok
with, it spoils you.  It took me no time at all to carve off the main
gun
and replace it with a simple AA gun.  And according to some e-mail that
I
recieved from them, they are planning on expanding the line when the
bring
the old figures back into produciton.  For a while, they had a picture
of
this gigantic Ogre-sized hover vehicle on their page, under "Coming
Soon",
but I still don't know when it will be released.
