Totally awesome _ I can't wait for mine. These Imperial models, all of them are just too wonderful for me to resist. To say I'm obsessed with them is probably understating it.

@jcarnutz I'm right there with you, John. I'm already searching for some models to fill in a couple of missing years in my collection. I can't resist Imperials at all.

@whodeytink

good luck on your hunt

if it was issued, then i’m not missing them since I pretty much bought every one issued in all colors.
