Sabotage by the Fgure Trader?

[Lardie the great]

I know some were released, because I bought 2 and eight-ish years later only 1 is painted. What you don't see in most of the photos, is it had internal detail! I asked Steve Esrin awhile back (maybe 2 years ago) if they would ever see the light of day again, got to say it didn't sound hopeful, but the kit was well ahead of it's time for detail and production values. I'll try to post pics at some stage.
