By the way, yes, the Trygon was absolutely mind-melting when it was released. IIRC though, it didn't have tournament-legal rules and back then you HAD to get that super-hard-to-find IA book to have the rules for it, PLUS purchase a $150 resin model (again, IIRC it was around that much), so you didn't see them much.
I've recently re-discovered this story and I'm in the planning stages of a truly MASSIVE board to represent Beta Anphelion. This is gonna be wicked.
