[added lugnet.space, despite the fact that it seems there's some debate
about whether they fit, and decided against changing the subject line,
although maybe I should...]

You don't like the look of them? I'm quite taken with some of the sets
at least, mainly because of the good parts and colours (for me, anyway)
and partly because of the models. [This is, of course, going on the
Pause database- I've never seen any IRL.]
Were they successful in the US? (I asked a colleague to look for some in
the Cambridge, Mass area but he didn't find any, but I don't know how
hard he looked). Are they still in any shops?
