I thought Tente had bitten the dust but the guy that is selling that Galaxy Wars set on ebay told me it was released just a couple of weeks ago (the five-digit identifying number IS unique).

| | | | | | (...) You don't understand. Tente ships were *cool*. They looked good. And there were a lot of them. I've seen the Megablocks crapola they try to pass off as a ship. It's nowhere even close to what Tente put out. It's too big, blocky, and severely (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
