I liked the designs on the Alliance Steels, personally. But...I do think it would be great if all studios looked a little more closely at what titles are released when they do these 'waves'. It's fantastic to see old favorites, but some of the rehashes seen in the recent 'mass' waves are a bit silly, especially when they're not giving collectors the whole deal-inside art, embossing/debossing, unique paint features. The recycling of the Amaray art, or of previously released Steels is not cool. I know all too well that many are jumping on the bandwagon trying to entice the collector community with indiscriminate release states, but a bit more 'uniqueness' overall, for all of these waves. So I am definitely not just looking for yet 'another wave'..substance over mass, please. Alliance, imo is one of those that did things right, in the grand scheme of things....
