That's an excellent set of pictures and a good overview, but I'm still
lamenting the end of Tente's naval ship offerings--the Mega Bloks ships
still look far too pixellated in terms of hull curvature. Better to have no
curvature at all, dagnabit! But the deck looks pretty good and I do like
the new crane piece as well as the incorporation of moving elevators. The
Kittyhawk is far better looking than that battleship (which really doesn't
look anything like any battleship ever constructed), but IMHO there's still
a ways left to go. On the other hand, they *are* bricks and therefore can
be easily MOCed. ;) Chris, how's the brick quality compared to those in
the "Battleship"?
Let's encourage this trend--once they get the hull thing fixed up, maybe
I'll even start buying 'em.
