Interesting that the C-47 is the same price as a super fort and that the C-54 is the most expensive item on the list. The C-54 certainly had the most potential as a money-earning freight or people hauler for a civilian buyer.

Hmm...

Are they going to make season 2?  Compared to the 80s series, this one ended in an odd place.

Thanks to you both. I will hope for a sale soon!
I thought I remembered a thread on SoaSE2. I wonder why it did not turn up in the search I did before starting this one?

You're going to argue that space marines aren't exclusively male, that the 60 odd books aren't mainly male characters? Because you are wrong Because up until last week they were

Just because the characters are primarily male doesn't mean it's a male-only hobby.  Many women love Predator despite the fact that the only female character in that movie is basically a damsel in distress.  You don't seem to be understanding my general point that these properties, regardless of what gender is depicted, have ALWAYS appealed to both genders, and attempts at adding more women to these IPs is simply an attempt to be more reflective of the general audience.

Also, GW have in fact made female space marine miniatures in the past, and stated that they stick to making men for primarily logistical reasons, not for lore reasons.

there is not one single obstacle to a girl/woman playing this hobby

Again, this is where you're wrong and where I'd encourage maybe listening to other peoples' experiences in the hobby.  Not every woman will face obstacles like sexist assholes, but many do.  There are absolute TONS of bad actors in male-dominated hobbies that, whether intentionally or not, make the space unsafe or uncomfortable for women.
