Can anyone tell me of a supplier of any Babylon 5 ships in the UK?
Either Babylon 5 wars or Fleet action.. I know there getting harder to
find but someone must still have some knocking about.
(P.S.I've tried Spirit Games but they don't have much I'm after).

Thanks.

Actually I believe they are going to be re-released under the new company name...

I was just thinking what a shame no one else picked up the franchise
or took over production, great, I don't suppose you know what the new
company is to be called?

If you mean Eclipse, which was supposed to be the successor to AoG, you can
forget it; Eclipse is just smoke and mirrors and not much of either.

A line of B5 miniatures will be produced by Mongoose Publishing to go with
their B5 miniatures game. I'm not sure if these are the original B5 miniatures
but they certainly look like it. Check http://www.mongoosepublishing.com

Hope this helps.

It was confirmed that those minis will be using the AOG masters so yes, they
are the same.

Bruce Graw (formerly of AOG, now with Mongoose) bought back a lot of old AOG
stock from US game distributors and is now selling it on the old AOG
webstore at a discount. Most miniatures, both Full Scale and Fleet Action
are available. He has sold to a lot of people around the world so the UK is
no problem.

Email him at the link on that page if you have any questions

I got quite exited there but I don't think the site is working, you
can click on what you want to order but it always just says your cart
is empty.

Yeah, they do look like the same figures from Mongoose, same size,
same detail, I'll keep an eye on the site.

Actually I meant Mongoose Publishing.
Just couldnt remember their name when I first posted.
From what I hear they will be the same masters as the AoG ones.

Yep, I see now. The first releases are in the 'upcoming release'
section, EA and minbari ships to start off with.

Email Bruce if you have any problems.

Order quickly though, because he now works for Mongoose, there is a conflict
of interest if he undercuts their price. So he just announced that
effective August 15th, prices go back up to AOG's retail for all ships, both
B5 Wars and Fleet Action scales (books and GROPOS minis are not effected).
Order by the 14th to get the sale prices.
