What about the Polish paratroopers?

This just proves that there will always be something more to make.

Though when I see an American Revolution Hungarian Tank Commander or Air Force Officer, I'll know the limit has been reached...

Think that was 2008

What more could you ask of a Manufacturer.

Obviously something because I've been buying Figarti for the last 2 years

 

[Mitch]

Figarti do make nice AFV's pricey but, nice but, do you agree that their figures let them down? The Panzer IV AK version for example or, the crew to the command and fire vehicle for the V2. Give you nightmares!!!!!

[jazzeum]

That's a little strong. Figarti have a different style when it comes to figures just as Honour Bound does. However, their tanks are second to none (IMHO, as well as many others).

 

[Mitch]

Just being truthful IMO as I said their AFV's are nice but, the figures are not for me. I think HB figures are much better than they were but, nobody IMO does AFV's like HB

Looking at these stats I'm surprised that so few figures were released for ranges that I would have thought were K&C's bread and butter. They definitely try to make a little something for everybody. Would you call that a broad front strategy?

 

[Mitch]

I would not like to sit down and plan a year or so ahead and try to not only make interesting products but, also make sure that they appeal to a wide audience and, importantly, make money!

I think 310 sets is remarkable to say the least

Then why post here................

 

[Blowtorch]

Then why post here................

I answered a question on a forum that I visit

I visit this forum because there is more happening here other than discussions of the last 18 disappointing months of releases.

If this were the "King & Country Fan Forum of the Last 18 Months of Glorious Releases", you would not see me.

If it weren't for Figarti & First Legion, I would have grown bored of this hobby already & left this site which would be unfortunate,

because,

I would miss a rare K&C release that I actually may want to purchase.

I am happy to answer any more questions.

You have way too much time on your hands - LOL

Although - very interesting information.

Cheers, Ron

Ron mate,
It is the old Statistician coming out in me. Just love K&C History. Just to keep you thinking K&C have released and about to release 2253 different sets in matte. So when you think about the 310 released in 2009 that is 13.76% of the total matte sets every released. And you as a mad Naps man would be happy to know that the 201 NAs (8.93% of total) is the largest series released. Even the 191 HK sets don't beat the Naps.
Hope that gives you something to ponder on.
Cheers Howard
