By "current aircraft carrier," do you mean currently available?  I'd thought that
Coko was out of production.  Incidentally, I found a small blisterpack animal
"starter set" in a Ben Franklin yesterday -- $3.45.  Didn't buy it, but it looked
interesting (well articulated figs, and what's more, neat inverted med-slopes with
stepping).

The aircraft carrier has a deep green color to them. (...) (27 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
