Alas, there is still no resolution to the eMail error on the forums. Everything else works - just not the eMail notifications to users about new PMs and topic updates.

Fujimi's new Bladerunner Spinner and AMT's reissued Man in Space rocket set are both on their way to us - should be here by Monday.

11/14 I've posted Eight new entries to the Reader's Gallery tonight. Also, I posted the first weekly newsletter on Friday - you can click here to subscribe, if you have not already.

I know about the eMail error on the Forums, and yes, it is a major PITA. I've been on and off with tech support for two days and I'm not getting anywhere ... evne though I know what they did, and how to fix it! Grrrrrr.... anyway, what it effects is the eMail notifications users get of new PMs and topic updates. The actual posting of such things is not effected. Just click through the error message until I can get it resolved.

Got some restocks in the Store -- Minions, Flying Wings, Excelsior Neck/Saucer/Bridge and Starcrafts' NX-01 Refit. Check them out here.

10/14 Twelve new entries to the Reader's Gallery tonight.

Still behind in everything - I hav pix and rough text for about a dozen articles, and no time to format them. I'll be pressing hard on that over the next week. If I can - there's always something, it seems....

I need to make room in the stock area - can't barely move around, and today the roomba got trapped under a pile of Star Wars kits - so there's a whole bunch of stuff on special sale in the Store now, at rock bottom prices too.

09/30 Ten new entries to the Reader's Gallery tonight.

09/27 I'm behind on answering eMails again, but I did manage to post a look at Round 2's newly re-issued TOS Klingon Battlecruiser tonight. Look for a build review soon.
