Ummm <<shifts uncomfortably from foot to foot sheepishly>> 5 aircraft
carriers and three battleships :-) That would be a bit less than A$500. I
could not afford to be doing this in Lego.
I did have two battleship boxes full of pieces left over - just enough to
start on HES Indescribable, an escort destroyer (one can never have too much
AA ;-)

*Absolutely* it does.
On the compatibility side, it seems to work fine to build the core (great
big) bit out of MB and use Lego for the finer and more gorgeous bits. I
haven't seen MB baseplates, and you (in particular) would still to be
hunting for grey plates, but the whole block/plate relationship is a bit
different with MB, as was discussed in previous threads.
Once you get your hands on this stuff, you might find the need for plates
diminishes a little.
And there's even a big red helicopter, choc-a-block with just the stuff you
need to add your red details to the Tantive IV.

Looking forward to it ;-)
