			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>‘VOLTRON’ GAME CONTENTS ANNOUNCED</p>
<p><strong>Bellevue, WA, February 15, 2010—</strong>Privateer Press has just released the official content list for its <em>Voltron: Defender of the Universe</em> battle miniatures game (PIP 50030).    <br />The game, which has an MSRP of $49.99, will contain 22 pre-painted plastic figures, including Voltron, 5 Voltron Lions, 5 Galaxy Garrison Cruisers, Lo-Tron, 1 Prince Lotor’s Command Ship, 4 Robeasts, and 5 Lo-Tron Force Skull Ships. The game will also include 1 double-sided play mat, 24 specialty dice, 4 status counters, and a full-color rulebook.    </p>
<p>“When we set out to create the first-ever Voltron tabletop miniatures game, we wanted to make sure everything about it drew the player right into the Voltron universe and thrust them front and center in the battle for control of the galaxy,” said Privateer Press Chief Creative Officer Matt Wilson. “This July, everyone who once dreamed of being part of the Voltron Force will finally have their chance to ‘form blazing sword’ and take control of the indomitable Defender of the Universe.”</p>

<h3>Description 1/144 US Air Force C-18A</h3>
<h3>Available Week of February 1, 2010</h3>
<p><b></b></p>
<p>The civilian Boeing 707 airliner first took to the skies in the late 1950’s and revolutionized air transport. The first use of a B-707 derived aircraft by the United States Air Force was the purchase and deployment of the C-137 transports and VC-137 VIP Presidential transports. In later years the Air Force added retired ex-airliners for use as transports and in anticipation of conversions for special use aircraft. Allied military forces around the world also recognized the value of the 707 and several were employed as trainers, transports and for mid-air refueling. </p>
<p>In later years as the major airlines retired the 707, the United States Air Force bought several ex-airliners for use as transports and flying test beds for new weapon systems development and command and communications systems. Several of these aircraft evolved into very unique and unusual aircraft but began their service in the United States Air Force in the C-18A configuration.</p>
<p>The following markings are include with this kit:</p>
<p><a name="OLE_LINK4">USAF </a>T-18, CMMCA, Air Force Systems Command, late 1980’s    <br />USAF Boeing 707, Air Force Material Command, 1997    <br />NATO Boeing 707, Airborne Early Warning Force, 1990</p>
<h3>Suggested Retail $30.99</h3>
