*GASP**
the long-awaited 3D minis set of the THRADE have arrived at my house!! A real, honest-to-goodness' ORDER…not just review samples!

I placed the order via their secure ordering process…was properly billed and the order arrived intact, clearly labled and no miscasts or missing parts!!! (there's the 'technical stuff' for you!!!) and it took only about a week from Sunday nite order to Friday delivery!!!

Now for the 'juicy part'…

NEW SPACE CRITTERS!!!! Yummy!

Since I got the first three figures in a 'review' set…I got the second 'three' of the 6 total to balance out the first set, (which I'll assemble as shown…

I also ordered a second set which I plan to do some 'mixing and matching of arms for pose varients…but I still need to figure out a 'cool' paint scheme for them!!! (any ideas chaps?? besides 'shades' of gray???

I'm very pleased with the figures and can't wait to finish them and base them for use in next scifi campaign…

I also can't wait…(but will have to!!!) till I see what NEXT the chaps at 3-D come up with!!

All in all, I'm very PLEASED with the product, prices and service…and though they may be more 'expensive' than some figures and less than others…considering this is an 'independent' line of figures…(not one of the 'BIG' guys)…I think the prices, quality and service is very top-notch and well worth adding to your sf collection!

Images??? oh great…I've got to get them all assembled, painted and the try to SCAN them on my printer…but someone else with a REAL digital camera could do it better…but trust me…the figures are WORTH it!!

*slish…slish*…I wonder IF I could convince them to do something with TENTACLES sometime???? 8-)

Sgt DWW-happily making 'boom, zap, bzzzt' noises as he plans his next step in TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION….

DRATS!!! I was SO excited about the figs I FORGOT to put LINK….D'oh! (smacks self in head with 4 tentacles..thwip, thwip, thwip, thwip!!!)…*sigh*…I'm glad Crusoe corrected my 'oversight'…I'll just plead 'Non-compos mentis ad infinitim'…(not of sound mind…forever!)…it beats 'nolo contendre'..(no contest) as made 'famous/infamous' by Spiro T. Agnew….(who? nevermind)….*slish*…

Now you KNOW where to get them!!! so NO EXCUSES!!!!

*slish…slish*

Sgt DWW-now where did I put that 'mutant alien slimey-putrascence' color I wanted to use…Hmmmmmm…(rattle, move, slide..bang..scrape…)

Those are nice miniatures! I like the preview of the heavy trooper on their site too!

I am tempted to but some… CURSES!!

I see that each individual figure is $3.50 USD

Any special deals for ordering a group of them?
