Retirements (1 Viewer)

only three items on the WWII list the rest appear to be Romans, etc..... Glad I don't have to play catch up since I already have the 3 WWII sets being retired.

Hey Rob

I grabbed that set myself , I dont collect D day stuff but I reckon thats
quite a unique set even as a stand alone [a bit like iwo flag raising]
I,m not sure what the boss will say when its hanging in the lounge.

Hi Rob,

I thought i'd have problems explaining them away just in my office!.I agree with you that it really is a unique set and they always look good hanging over the dio's at the London shows.Any chance this set may tempt you into D Day stuff Rob?

It never takes much arm twisting does it , I do also have the tommy patrol
[the set that got me buying K and C , I reckon] If we see some more Brits
I,d be sorely tempted , Fiscal restraint is the name of the game .
It will be interesting to see what comes out at chicago show time .

UGH !

I am on the fence about those paratroops being retired.

I want to buy them - but, want to get into deep with WWII

Still waiting on checks to come in - see I am working man's lobbyist

Probably placing his order as we speak... I mean since the Napoleonic range is being discontinued at the end of the year what's left to collect?

Don't say it even in Jest.I can see the headline of the Washington post tommorow;

'Leading Lobbyist goes berserk with Machine Gun'!!

The Vickers is finally retired and mine sweeper. All man. Already got them.

 

[Rob]

LOL !

NAPOLEONICS STOP - EVERYONE BETTER RUN FOR COVER !!

Yes - On the WWII releases I am ever so close of caving in

Interesting to note - I once had bought the Desert Vickers (EA 16) and the Field Marshal Alexander (EA 11) together at one time. When they came the size difference was too much for me !

EA 16 Vickers was 1/32 and the EA 11 Alexander was 1/30

I ended up selling them both off and really didn't look at the EA again.

Now, with the Crusader and the Ambulance & Stretcher Party - I am getting pulled again.
