I guess my response to this will come as no surprize he says after doing a back flip. And the price...wel that deserves a double back flip. I was excited about the figures that come with the Kongo, now there is another set to enhace that one. Well, I do have more than a few Japanese warships to populate.

Do they come pre-painted? 100+ figures for 10USD is VERY reasonable! Will definitively get some for when I get to my 350 DDs I have in the stash. I also wonder if they are all "military" uniforms on the figures? Could use some of them in the 350 DML Libery ships and the Has SOYAs.

The Tamiya look to be geared towards Japanese as well as the Fujimi ones coming with the Kongo. The Dragon appear to be US. Anybody have info on how many total, how many types, and the price of the Dragon set. When are the TOT's for the dragon and Tamiya sets. I have heard that the Kongo is suppossed to hit the shelves sometime this month. I'll be giving an open box impression as soon as mine coes in. Looking at the kit Iam expecting something equivalent to the Nagato. Man these companies are sure keeping the PE set boys hopping. Probably time to just do a generic Japanese Battleship set to cover both the Nagato and Kongo.
