Washington, D.C.--the claymation animation was a novel idea, and added to the visuals.

Well--The Strike Commander is obviously not in the ballpark of the U6, so it would be
a lower price.
I'd pay...20-25 for the Strike Commander--if it's complete (but gawd, how would you

And by that, I DO mean the 'Ultra-Rare' one, that is complete with all of the inserts,

I understand now where your thought process was going. I too have wondered about the
'validity' of an item or two, and I can say that at least OUR Akalabeths are safe from
being judged 'forgery'--

They're coming out of the woodwork! This now officially makes 5 available on the open
market--according to Hugh, this game is now only 'Rare'. Uncommon is possible by the
end of the year...looks like Drash is 'Trash'.

Can you list the owners of the seven Drashes (owner, complete-or-cassette, etc?).
Also, this box looks...familiar. Could it be one of the ones that has already been
