First up, some service news; it’s holiday time, so turnaround time on orders may be a little longer for the next couple of weeks. We won’t be stopping completely, but it may take a few extra days to get your order out of the door.<\/p>\n

Onto the good stuff now – we have a few more new spaceships today. The headline act is the new British Valkyrie multi-role fighter, scaled down from the Squadron Commander<\/a> version. As with most of our other fighters, these come in packs of 12.<\/p>\n
