I haven't noticed a best of thread for 2007 so thought i'd start one with my own opinions.
I mainly only collect K&C WW2 so that's all in my list but feel free to chuck in any other suggestions.
Best German Vehicle
1. DAK Tiger ( late entry but straight in at the top)
2. German T34
3. Opel Blitz Lorry
Best German Figures
1. The Fallschirmjager set (not everybody's favourite but they were just the era I was particularly interested in.)
2. The 5 man tank crew. (I especially like the guy with the tool box.)
3. The 4 Gebirgsjagers with skis and snowshoes from th recent Bulge releases. ( I don't have these but I've seen them in real life and they are awesome)
Best Allied Vehicle
1. The LRDG chevvy camouflaged version. (top quality item this one. The band of blue paint brings the whole thing to life somehow.)
2. The Arnhem para jeep with trailer ( I don't have it but if i had some money it'd be proudly on display!)
3.The US M12 motorised gun. ( I don't have this one either but the detail on it is amazing. It seems a bit undersized somehow compared to it's accompanying figures but still a good piece.)
Best Allied Figures
1. The Field of Battle British troops in action. ( Definitely my favourites of the year, especially put up against the K&C FJs. The Sergeant kneeling with his machine gun and shouting orders is one of the best figures ever IMO)
2. The Arnhem British paras. Advance to Attack 3 figure set. (I had most of the patrol figures for Christmas and It's fair to say that they are far better in real life than in the photos. The sculpts and facial expressions are excellent. Top quality painting too. Hard to fault.)
3. Any of the recent US Bulge figures. Some of K&C's best ever sculpts. You can almost feel the cold yourself. If i collected these though I would be bankrupt.
There's probably loads of good stuff i've forgotten!

and I thought Australian Immigration authorities were tough). Joking aside Dely was great and I really enjoyed my trip to K&C in pacific place.
