I never said I didn't like them... I just said that I see them as hippies
who aren't really evil. The "stupid" part just kind of came out because I
think they would be dumb to spilt from BTI.

Heck yeah. Though I like BTI a whole lot better, BTII does have some way
cool stuff. The Allied Avenger is one of my favorite sets in terms of design.

This may be just me, but when every single set in a subtheme sucks, I tend
to overlook it. Especially when the sets are also chock full o' SPUDs.

The thing is, though, that the figs would look extremely out of place with
decent ships seeing as that the figs themselves are not decent. They could
almost be robots with all the circuitry and equipment stapled to their space
suits. They have cool shoulder pads, though. I'll give them that much.

I don't think so.. I tend not to mess too much with poor quality sets.

Yeah... It was a cool idea... but it bombed in my eyes due to the
hideousness (is that a word?) of the sets and the uselessness of the pieces.
