Come on fellas I’m sure you long time collectors have some old blues you’d be happy to trade away for some current bacon
Hmmm... I might be persuaded to rummage through my half ton of old INFI if that current bacon included a Last Rites.
I think the TG14 is one I would most like to see re-released. That or the Crusader Team Gemini.
Both are awesome "older" bruisers and cool examples to show how the colors have changed over the years but that CGFBM is AMAZING! I love that model in general but that one in particular is epic!Some of the old Blue and Black G10 looks a lot more black than blue:

On top we have a "Badger Attack - CG grade, black crinkle with blue-black G-10" from the Busse Company Store in 2007. Hardly any blue in that one. If I didn't know from the description what it was (I still have the email from the BCS), I don't think I'd be able to positively identify it.
Below that a CGFBM from 2006 with magnum black and blue G10 handles and urban gray coating.
I know I have a satin black and blue G10 Game Warden around somewhere, and probably an extra fat GW with a coated black blade and black and blue G10 handle, but I have o idea where ai put them.
