Yes I realise they're only got minutes to go, but I've only just seen them! Main point of posting is to establish links to the auctions to enable discussion: there seems to have been a lot of interest in ice breakers on here of late.

Those have been out for a while and are easily available - at least in the US online stores. They've seen a reduction in price since they came out - the ebay prices are a little lower than what you'd pay for a mint version.

The Freetime hobbies link above also lists the very expensive 1/700 version from Seal.
