(...) Really? I love Divers, but I was disappointed by the set designs. Not that the models were bad, they were very good. There was too much repetition between the sets. Too many nearly-identical submersibles. Too many SPUD[1] rafts. Almost every (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.people, lugnet.town)

[lugnet.people snipped from ng list] (...) Good point. The lack of detail is doubly-disappointing, because the boats are the biggest point of variation between the sets.[1] In a way, they are the reason to get *all* the Divers sets. Is the ship in (...) (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.town)
