Cannot wait for September!!! (1 Viewer)

Any Second World War British and Canadian troops would be very nice for September.

A Sexton SPG with british/canadian crew would be great! Would be good to see another piece of Canadian armour to back up the Staghound!^&grin

Or one of those stuarts with the turret missing!^&grin

Up coming lah look very interesting.mike b.i will be in.

A Sexton would really be nice but with the Priest just being released I think it may be a long way off.

Sorry to rain on the allied parade but, we need a Panzer IV late variant with skirts, sturmtiger, Sturmpanzer Brumbar and some Flak artillery at the least before these allied AFV's

Guys I could have possibly misunderstood but I could have sworn that I read in a post from Andy that Arnhem is on hiatus until he figures out where he wants to take it next and that there are no releases in the pipeline. Once again I could be wrong, for you Arnhem collectors out there I hope I am wrong, I know how frustrating it is to have to wait on your favorite series to be released, but thats just part of the toy soldier game. Is there anyone else out there that remembers that post???^&confuse

It's quite true. Andy did say in Australia (if memory serves) that there would be more Arnhem but they were thinking about which direction to take it in.

Rob mate,
Spot on cobber. Good memory. Thread: Brisbane - A Quick Fifteen Minutes with Andy, 8th June, 2011
Question three: Asked and Answered.
Cheers Howard:smile2:

Strange to be momentarily paused as to where to proceed with a range such as Market Garden. Plenty more brits crying out to be done which would compliment the range and would proceed it nicely.

Exactly, I would have thought with the Arnhem releases being so popular there would have been a lot of focus on this series with new releases etc, strange to think that this is where king and country is struggling, even re-releases of the old arnhem sets, the daimler armoured car for example, would be a way to go!

The thing is they can't be great seller or K&C would be making loads of stuff for this range I'm sorry to say

 

[Mitch]

I think you may be right you don't ignore something thats a sure fire winner. I am still surprised we have still to see a depiction of Frost. I can see a dilution to the brits and a move towards the US stuff at Njmegan etc which, with no disrespect would spoil the range for me as I mentioned earlier still a lot of brit stuff needs doing with the range

If Arnhem was so popular we would be seeing a new release every other month.
Bit like all the nazi stuff. There is a new tank or vehicle every month.
I also would like to see more British stuff.

I wouldn't say NAZI stuff Maybe WW2 German is a nicer term,i don't collect "NAZI" soldiers/vehicles/planes i collect WW2 German..........................{sm4}

I think one of the problems with Arnhem has been that when it joined the existing K&C ranges K&C's release schedule was already pretty busy, finding a regular slot for it amongst new themes and releases may not have been easy. We must also remember that other ranges such as Sons of Empire, Real West, Ancient Egypt do not always have regular slots. Although we got used to D day in the summer Bulge in the winter etc , nothing is set in stone.

SOE was however explained at the outset that it would be a periodical release so, none of the collectors who would have collected this range ever expected it every month but, maybe yearly etc. I don't think we disagree with busy schedules but, not many ranges have heard the comments about direction etc (which, with Arnhem amazes me somewhat) and, that has meant a few collectors disposing of the figures that I know of and, moved on to other things

I seem to have created a firestorm of controversy with my previous post, I feel I must correct myself and apologize here. Apparently there IS stuff in the pipeline for Market Garden, and there was never any question of the direction in which it needed to be taken. In trying to predict what the next month's dispatches are going to hold (it has become something of a game for me) I try to store away in my head every tidbit of information Andy discloses on this forum and I confused comments he made about Market Garden with comments that he made about other series'. He did say that he has nothing planned for immediate release as far as Market Garden is concerned, but there is definately stuff in the works and once again there is no question of the direction in which he plans on taking the series. Once again I appologize and hope this clears up any confusion.

I don't think you have to apologise for anything , all you said was what Andy said in Australia, and that was they were deciding what to release next but there would be more releases. As I said before no product has a set in stone release date, K&C can in reality take as long as they want to release something, despite how much we look forward to it there's no rush. It also shows how much thought goes into the schedule, better than just saying rushing releases out. Whenever Arnhem is released again it will be very welcome, in the meantime there's plenty of choice!

Cheers
