Long time, no post, but count me in on a run of ships. I've been lusting after them and waiting on them for a years now. -JM gameguy1957

Took some pics of the Halo and SST guys together and they turned out so craptastic that I'm not going to post them. The Spartans/Master Chief's whole head stands above the SST guys. Even the crouching Covenant are as tall as SST. The bad guys standing almost upright are much taller than the...

My kids love them and I buy them so they can play with them as toys on Heroscape terrain. I'll probably buy a few more booster packs and the vehicles but have no interest in playing with the current rules. Here's my opinion on the gaming end of it. Rules are weak. Unlimited range on all...

Glad to see you are exploring all the available options. :lol: -- Seriously though, I'm glad to see that more people are posting to the SST forum again. I got a piece of scienctific testing equipment (from the early 1940s) a while back. Looks like it will make a cool piece of terrain. I'll...

Thanks to all who replied. Now...must...resist...assembly...until book comes in the mail. Or if I can't hold out that long then I'll at least wait on mounting the weapons. -JM

I just got a box of both type exo suits and a Nighthawk. What books do I need in order to get the stats on them? Also, since I need some instant gratification, can I screw up assembling the Grizzly's with a wrong set of weapons. Or can I put a weapon of any type or combo on any of the mount...

I'm from much further south than you and am on the coast. I had a problem last year with primer and spray paint not curing. The only thing I could figure out was that the humidity was causing the problems. Winters here are in the mid 70's and the humidity is so high most of the time that all of...

Mobile, Alabama. If anyone is near, I frequent a shop called Borderland Relics and usually bring both bugs and MI and terrain and other games and...and -JM

Hey, what's an ocmic and where can I get one? :P

I usually glue everything together except the legs. I pop them in as I am gluing the abdomen but don't glue them (the legs). Then I place them on a spare piece of deep carpet. This allows me to pose it before gluing as the legs will stay in place on the carpet instead of sliding apart. Also, I...

I usually pin the models that are metal and like the brain bug and Heroes set. I've dropped both plastic MI and Warrior bug models and they bounce well without breaking. On the other hand, they don't work very well for dog chew toys or being stepped on by people. -JM

Any possibility you actually got to put you hands on some of them. If so, how do they "feel" . More specifically, can you tell if they're made from the same type plastic as the current stuff or are they different. Also, do they look like they are manufactured in color or were they actually...

The terrain looks good, so does the price. Anyone out there bought from them? Their web page doesn't give any info and isn't very professional looking from someone wanting to make money. Looks like it was made in about 1995. -JM

I've not played a lot of games but each time I've stayed on the ground and tried to go toe-to-toe (or claw) with the bugs they get close and just shred the MI. Keeping the MI bouncy has helped me hold off or defeat the bugs in some cases. -JM

Mage Knight used to have a dungeon builders kit with floor tiles and doors. The local shops sell them for $5 a pack. Here's a link to some on ebay...
