ANDY! Is this it! NO British 8TH Army Sets? NO British Tanks, NO Artillery Sets, for N. AFRICA? You give us SPORIATIC Bits & Pieces! Then you make us wait, 2-Months for these COMMANDOS? What were you thinking? At Least CS, comes out with Sets Twice a Month! I have COLLECTED from you for 9-Years; and NOW, I may be making a Decision, NOT to Collect anymore from K&C! Also, you go ahead,and change the CAMOUFLAGE Uniforms for the NEW British Paras, and then you INCREASE the Prices? I'm 67-Years Old, and I been around, Collecting,Painting, Building, Toy Model Kits, and Collecting Toy Soldiers, since 1975! The JULY Dispatches is Ridiculus! You're JUMPING ALL over the Place and NOT CONSENTRATE on Completing N.Africa Sets!

John,
I see you are back to your old habits.

If you have been collecting K&C for nine years you should have noted that mid year is usually the time for Normandy/D Day type releases and N Africa is normally early in the year.

As regards CS coming out with sets twice a month I think Brian of CS wont mind me saying that is totally untrue.

Whilst all are aware you like N Africa it is ridiculous to expect any brand is going to concentrate on completing your never ending wish lists. There are other collectors for other aspects of WW2 and other eras.

I note you have recently posted in CS and now K&C areas and look forward to your TG and FL posts on the same subject.

John, you tell 'em! I,m sure even as I write this Andy is meeting with his executive board hastily trying to rectify this enormous corporate blunder he imposed on you, one of his most loyal, long time customers.
By the way John, where have you been? Seems you hadn't posted for quite some time, now the past week you come out with guns a'blazin!

Brad, I think Andy has just gone to far this time and John can take it no more. We have now seen the darker, serious side of this proud collector.

What does John mean he's had to wait for two months for the Commandos, I've had to wait since December!:wink2:

Seriously, I'm not going to jump on any bash John wagon, he is perfectly entitled to raise his concerns as much as anyone else here and do it in his own way as he sees fit whether we strongly agree or strongly disagree. My one question for John would be, what about those many many collectors who neither like or collect North Africa John??^&confuse:smile2:

Wait since December {eek3} Well if you didn't try to get advance info, you wouldn't have to wait so long. ^&grin You must know how long it takes a watched pot to boil.

I am not trying to start anything, but good lord! I don't think I have ever seen people complain so much. If toy soldier collecting ticks you off so much then move on with your life.

New British Commandos and the new British field gun and crew count for something here..................Don't they ???

I don' t understand why still no artillery has been done for ACW.... Were the generals in foot version or repetition more urgent than artillery?{sm2}

Hopefully Poppo its a sort of starting point, get the famous personalities released before moving onto the action as it were. They look very nicely done to me and as an ACW novice I'm going to get these, as long as the wife thinks I've been good enough to deserve them of course:wink2::salute::

I plan on picking up all the new personalities as well. I have the older Jackson and Longstreet set as well as the mounted Lee and Stuart. I also picked up the General John B. Hood figure they did for last years Texas Toy Soldier show. I think K&C does the best ACW personalities around and I hope there is more to come.

Not entertaining, not informative and not constructive = ranting!
Why not just write a private e-mail to Andy? I write him with suggestions, questions and constructive criticism and alway receive an informative response.

The thing is that when it comes down to it no company can make something for everyone every single month. Its not only not realistic its absurd to think they can. As collectors we all have to take turns where there is nothing for us that particular month. When LAH, Life of Jesus, AWI, Ancient Egypt are released I don't moan like a cat in a lawn mower, you just think nothing for me this month will await the following Dispatch. Of course you can always try this...and I know its a bit ' out there'....but....be happy for those collectors who got new items for their collection this time!^&grin......No, I didn't think that idea would fly!:rolleyes2:
