Hi Guys,
Apologies for not responding sooner to several points raised by collectors. As most of you know I’ve been on one of K&C’s “Annual American Odysseys” and got back just recently. Waiting for me, as usual, was a huge pile of work and correspondence that, I hope, I’m finally getting on top of!
Anyway, here goes with a few answers and replies…
1. On the Napoleonic Front…
This is one of K&C’s most popular ranges and we’re certainly not abandoning it. In fact in 2011 we’ll be increasing the number of releases and the frequency! Re the comment about multi horse limber and gun sets… I stand by what I said… a four or six horse limber and gun set (including the figures) would be a very high-priced item. In my estimation anywhere from US$350 all the way up to almost US$500 or above. Considerably more than a WW2 tank (or at least the ones K&C makes)!!! But hey what do I know? I only manufacture the models and deal with the factories… As we all know there’s no logic in that!
We will however be looking at other suggestions… such as my friend OBEE’s…
2. WW1 Aviation
As mentioned before we’ve been working on this project for quite some time… planes and figures… I hope to be able to show you guys something soon.
3. “Welcome Back Rob!”
Thank goodness you’re back… I was getting ready to send out a search party!
4. “Appreciation”
Thankyou one and all… It’s always nice to get few bouquets… it makes a pleasant change from brickbats!!!
Seriously though, all of us at K&C truly appreciate your support, friendship and appreciation and, of course, suggestions.
5. “Warbird Demand”
Re the P47D… All 5 sold out within a couple of hours. Apologies for not amending the K&C website.
In the meantime let me announce that the next polystone, resin and metal warbirds after the upcoming ME262 are…
Special Edition Spitfire Mk1 of the American Eagle Squadron of the RAF. Just 250 are being produced and…
U.S. Army Corps P47 “Razorback”. More details to come later.
6. “Fields of Battle”
This series is one of my own personal favourites… I’ve got some nice add-on ideas for 2011.
7. “Future of SOHK/USN/USMC”
I can assure collectors that SOHK is a huge seller for us, particularly as you would expect, here in the Far East… A lot more in the works.
As for USN/USMC… We have indeed produced a large pirate junk and are in discussion with several factories in the best and most cost effective way to produce it. Once we’ve decided on the best way forward I’ll let you guys know. I’m also working on another related topic that could be very interesting… more details later.
8. PM03 LCM03
We actually produced 200… rejected about half and decided to use the remainder as a sales promotional tool for dealers.
And that my friends is that… hope you get a few answers plus a little bit of a “tease” for the coming months and year.
All the best and… happy collecting!
