I swore I'd never buy BF:Evo, even though I'm a big fan of SST. My friend and regular SST opponent recently bought a bunch of USMC, and I thought they looked pretty good. I felt that he needed an army to fight against so I finally broke down and bought 3 PLA squads and 3 PLA tanks. I bought them from 2 local stores, both of whom have similar discount programs (get a card punched with every purchase, redeem for free stuff when full). So I was able to get it all for about $100 by cashing in two cards.
In my opinion, the paint jobs are adequate, although the eyes could use a touch up here and there. One figure broke off the base when I was unpacking them. I'm now looking forward to playing. Considering that I still have a ton of unpainted SST stuff, I can definitely see the appeal of pre-paints. I'm glad I was able to buy them at a discount, as I think they're a little overpriced at list price.

Actually, BuShips, I've had those buildings for 20 years. I used to game 19th century colonial British vs. Pathans in the Northwest Frontier (i.e, Afganistan) using old 25mm Ral Partha figures. It's a pleasant coincidence that the new BF:Evo figs are fairly close to those old 25mm figures, so my old buildings should work well.
