a beautiful thing, really, and I'm delighted it's available in
smoke. How much did that set cost?

I like the assortment; you get TWO of the exoframes, and a good chunk
of the new special parts. I can see myself getting at least two of
these. (The other big winner is the Ogel $20 sub, which I will also
