Boy, if you ask me (and no one ever does, so I'll just say it anyway)
Three-Sixty is being too greedy.  I payed ~$40 for the original
Harpoon, then another $15 for the color version.  NOW I have to
pay $10/battle set to get color.  For a $20 battle set that brings
it up to $30 for color - I could buy an entirely different game for
that much.  Come on, the original $15 extra should have entitled me
to color battle sets without having to pay extra.  It looks like
I'll be playing everything but GUIK in B&W.
