“Why Answer Back…or…Fifty Shades of Feldgrau” (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi Guys,

Over the weekend I saw that one of my recent posts “…And Another Thing” was deleted…Oh well I thought life’s like that sometimes…Some days you eat the bear…Other days the bear eats you!

I then thought about writing back and trying to explain why I have the temerity to sometimes “answer back” to some of my more voluble critics…Then I thought, “Nah, that would take too long and besides they would still insist that they had the final word…no matter what I said…how I said it or who I might be talking to!

Finally, I decided to send you a photo of some of our “recent rubbish”, as one young Forum member delicately put it plus a selection of older pieces another pan internet “bravo” describes as “over-priced junk” .

You make up your own minds on who is talking through a hole in their head and who is just trying to make toy soldiers…fighting vehicles and other bits ‘n’ bobs that most collectors might just enjoy and…have lots of fun with.

All the best and happy collecting!

P.S. And this is not even all of our “Feldgrau” vehicles. Can you spot which ones are missing?

Is that a new prime mover in the background ? Would nice if we could get back to talking about toy soldiers and when were going to see some more RAF stuff to be fair :smile2:

How is that image not about toy soldiers ?

I guess would have been acceptable to you if image was Arnhem or RAF. Try to comprehend there are other collectors interested in things that do not interest you. You did say be fair after all.

I think Andy is letting his firm's critics get the better of him. While upsetting your most loyal customers (those who already buy K&C) with price increases and recent dispatch fiasco and than being critical of their views or patronizing them (albeit baited) with famous quotes on a forum seems somewhat petty. On the other hand, I say give Andy a chance to utilize the new K&C strategy. K&C is arguably the most popular TS company in the word and many others emulate or simply stay out of their way in terms of competing products. In the end the market will decide if the changes will be successful. I have not seen a massive selloff in K&C collections "so this to will pass...."

Nice pic of grey AFV's and also noticed the item wayne pointed to looks a nice item and we should have had a close up shot. Shame you could not have just posted the picture and had posters say they liked the stuff without the toothless insults of more people who have helped over the years whether they still buy or don't now to put you where you are!!!!!! surely, sales if they are good should be sufficient reply to what you see as ''CRITICS''

You really should pull out all the stops and get someone like Richard Walker...

What really is missing from the inventory of grey AFV's is a Panzer III

Wayne.

No he's not hot and bothered, I think he got them all already....

I'm sure that he will be using the image as his new WALLPAPER on his PC too ^&grin^&grin
