Not really. I guess if they were available, I'd buy until I was broke, but
I wouldn't want them less :-)

As I got back into the game, the RBR was still available. From memory, RRP
was around $220. I bought two a bit under $200. But RBR really is a tacky
ship. It took me a while to work out how to start building ships I liked,
and by then they were well and truly gone. I don't recall ever actually
seeing BSBs or SESs on the shelves. The only other one I ever saw was the
AF, which retailed for around $100. I bought three at about $63 each. i
can't remember why they were that cheap. Maybe James was there and I just
didn't recognise him in those days :-) The AF is an even worse ship, but
having scored a little RR in recent times, and together with my other bits,
I'm quite content with what can be done.
If anyone is desperate for AF midsections, email me.
