Just curious about these. Is the line of larger Star Trek minis now gone, or only on hiatus? I don't see many listed on one of the Star Trek retailer's sites (just a few ships there), and there seem to have been a number of issues with the switchover from resin to metal? Are they still available, or has the range bit the dust? |

I Believe that you can only buy them direct from ADB Mike |

Thanks Mike. Ah, I see. Never mind. I found them on the AFB website. What threw me was just the three listings of resin ships on the 2500 Line main page. I didn't realize I needed to click on to each separate fleet name to see the full listings. I suspect I may not be the first, or last to make that mistake. |

I see what you mean; one should see the expanded drop down menu as well. Usually, though, other sites when doing the same has that list, and the few examples are marked 'New' or 'Hottest sellers'. As a storekeep, I'll just assume it's ADB trying to support your FLGS with cleverly bad web design. ;->= Doug |

FLGS carry ADB? Have not seen an ADB product around here in years. |

Have not seen an ADB product around here in years. They are actually trying to reach out to stores. I'm aware of in store programs. Not that we carry any current ADB currently; never said they were particularly good at it. ;->= I do try to keep some used stuff in the used and consignment bins. No rush on those… Doug |

The SL2500 line is expanding. Just slowly. I understand that Mongoose is still doing the cad design and master print of the line. ADB is casting and getting them into production. They are only available from their website now. There are still boxes of the original Mongoose release of fleet sets out there. My FLGS has a few left. Those boxes could have metal or resin ships in them. |

That should read ADB, not AFB. |

I have no faith in Mongoose expanding any line. They drop game lines and don't support them often. |

We are currently waiting on molds to be done. As soon as they are and we have new ships, we'll be sure to post it here. |

Thanks. Good to hear. Might make sense to post a note on the 2500 Line webpage too, since I really though everything had been sold, or discontinued, when I saw only 3 – 4 resin items listed there. I suspect I may not be the only luddite to miss the small, printed fleet tabs on the left margin. |

Mako11, we did add a note to check to the left for empires not listed in the main section. Thanks for your suggestion! |
