And my position is that if we take matters into our own hands, we kill any hopes of working with Hasbro for an official release.

oh that's a bummer! have you been in touch with Hasbro since the last letter at all or are you working on another?

The best way to go about it, would be something akin to the Actionman 40th range...but apart from a few dedicated fans here, would it be popular enough to make a profit?

The biggest problem I have with the Hasbro "convention special" idea is the fact that we fans in the U.K. wouldn't be able to easily obtain them, except for American contacts, or by paying over the top secondary market prices from dealers or E-bay.

Um... we have a Hasbro Q&A section in the forum, I've been asking for input all week! I submitted three new questions this morning.

If anyone doesn't know, we're planning our own UK convention for next October and I am trying to get Hasbro to endorse it.

If we're talking vehicle "wish list" here I'd love a :zforce: Stalwart!

I had no idea the Baron's cushion craft was based upon a real vehicle! Uber cool.

I was also overjoyed to spot my custom Night Attack Helicopter in Codename Beaver, I never noticed it until Ironblood did the colouring.

They are loads of artist-created customs possibilities in BAF

I was thinking where had I seen a toy version of that copter Baron. Was Codename Beaver not an inspiration for you to make this custom?
Spock, where the hell's the power you promised?
