Yeah, I feel basically the same way. This is the first decent space
theme in quite a while, and I ran out and bought a bunch. After
having put together both of the mechs, I can say that I like them

baseplates/craterplates too.
So what's this you say about a sale at K-Mart? I went over to a
K-Mart a few days ago and didn't see much sign of a sale, and
most of their stock was picked clean anyway...
