I suppose you could look at it like that, (personally, I don't own one, not
because of design, but because I couldn't afford one at the time that they
were generally available). What interests me (and probably most other
Pirateers, new and old) is that the large ship hulls will be available again
in number, with a price that you don't have to pay through the nose to
obtain. That is the selling point of this set, (for me at least). How many
will I get? I just don't know yet. 2 at least I suspect.
