See if you get a discount on a bulk order order - sounds a nice, if rather 
obessional, idea (heck we wouldn't be here reading this if we weren't

And I know for one that my misses would love to have an ornemental object 
that reminds her of the 'planes, she'll just love that (NOT!)
 
All the more reason to buy one then!

ps any word on the grape re players for the planes this christmas?
