With the Building set, does this include the nine buildings listed? How many buildings are in the set?

They need to change the wording of the listing, since they were selling the "Set" before they made the newest buildings.  It's supposed to consist of one each of the following: SFB-001 Communication Building, SFB-002 Factory, SFB-003 Laboratories, SFB-004 Warehouse, and SFB-005 Small Factory.  Maybe they need to make "Building Set 2", which would include just the 4 newest buildings, and/or "Building Set 3", which would include all 9 buildings?   ???


The current "Building Set" is $59.95, though individually they add up to $68.75, so you save almost $10.00 by buying the set.  Adding the 4 new buildings to the current "Set" brings it up to $108.80, so maybe "Set 3" would sell for $99.95? They could maybe sell "Set 2" for $39.95 (currently $48.80 individually) ?

Do the newer buildings actually fit on hexes, where you can, say, put a 'mech on top of the building?

The 3 office buildings are all flat-topped, while the other 5 are Mostly flat, with a few spots that would make it difficult for a mini to stand on them. The "Small Tower Single Hex" looks like it should support a mini, but I don't personally own one, so I can't say for sure. I think at worst you'd have some overhang from the mini's base. The Small Office Building is about 1 & 3/4 inches wide and 2 & 15/16th inches long, by 1 & 3/4 inches tall, so it's roughly 2 "hexes" wide by a little over 2 hexes long. It sticks into the 3rd hex by about 1/4 of an inch, if you place it so one end is against the line of one hex on the other end.

The Medium Office Building is 2 & 1/4 inches by 2 & 1/4 inches by 1 & 1/2 inches tall, so roughly 2 & 1/2 hexes by 2 & 1/2 hexes. You could snug a Savannah Master or some other small vee up next to it, but not a 'Mech or VTOL. The Large Office Building is roughly "L" shaped and is 4 inches by 4 inches (at the widest points) by 1 & 1/4 inches tall. (Please see Extremely Crude diagram below.  ;D) The "Inside Area" is 1 & 1/2 inches by 1 & 1/2 inches, and the building could be placed so as to leave room for a 'Mech in that area.

Sure, I COULD take pictures, but with my slow dialup (currently connected at 16.8Kbps), I don't have the patience to wait 30+ minutes to upload a single picture, much less 3 of them.  #P

Does anyone have a pic of the Communications building with a radar dish? (either scratch built or obtained from another source).

Just wanted to see how it looks like with one.... Would be nice if it also had a mech beside it for scale.

Thanks. :)
