That's actually one of my favourite TLC ship designs too, possibly even my
favourite! That, and the Rebel Hunter.

In that case, I'll admit that I don't like their transparent heads ;-)
I like their helmets, though.

Oh, I don't necessarily mean trying to build using the sets themselves, just
using the minfigs and brick colours to create MOCs to fit the spirit of the
sets, but not their poor style of construction.

Yeah, that's a word... a word I use for the subtheme too. Frankly, though,
when the sets go on deep enough clearance, they can be worth purchasing for
the few useful parts that they do have. The Arachnoid Base, for instance,
contains quite a few good dark grey bricks and large plates that I think was
worth it at 75% off.
