A Billion Suns: Petite Blocks Starter Fleet

I recently obtained the rulebook for A Billion Suns and immediately desired a starter fleet to try out this great new miniatures game from Osprey (which is designed by Mike Hutchinson of Gaslands fame).  My good friend came up with the idea of using Petite Block (miniature, off-brand Legos) to build some starter fleets.  A trip to Daiso was made, and just a few hours later my starter fleet was complete:

• 5 x Light Utility Ship
• 5 x Corvette
• 5 x Medium Utility Ship
• 1 x Monitor
• 4 x Destroyer
• 1 x Carrier
• 1 x Cruiser

I used the train car Petite Blocks to build my fleet, as I found the train sets have the most flat pieces, which I wanted for my designs.  For only spending just $9.00 (plus sales tax), I feel it is a good value.    The number of hours spent building the fleet was enjoyable, but the time and effort needed for this approach must also be taken into consideration... it is a heavy time investment.  Petite Blocks can be obtained for just $1.50 per pack at Daiso Japan stores.
