Is it supposed to be the EM-50?  B/c it looks a little too rounded off at the ends for the model in the movies.

And...it's here!?!  :o Looks like it shipped from Gordonsville, VA and that's about 130 miles away. A shipping notice and package received the same morning!

Infuriating.

Amazon still shows it as a 2/23 release and Osprey's website seems to be down...

Some people just don't seem to want money.

No, it's older than that.

Double wow! Very cool!

Somewhere, somehow, I woke up in the wrong timeline. I'm pretty sure this isn't even my dimension.

I saw that model in a HobbyTown and just knew it would make the perfect bus for Gaslands.

Also, to bring it back around to the original topic, I just ordered my copy of ABS from Blackwell's (free U.S. shipping)

Got my copy of Billion Suns yesterday. Reading through it now. I  think I like the premise.
