As some of you know, a great many people in our hobby mistakenly think I am Rick Wang of Figarti (and one lone collector who calls Rick “Steve”). I have had many collectors come up to me and ask how “my” father is doing, offer suggestions on future sets, request a meeting to discuss an idea, or...

I think the weathering looks OK.:)

$389.00:)

This year, more than 35 collectors gathered to hear Rick and James, Rick's father. As discussed on other threads, Figarti displayed its "D-Day + 1" theme and introduced "Bloody Tawara." The IS-2, Winter Ground Stuka, Winter 15 cm Howitzer and M16 Halftrack were also shown. James Wang...

Don't worry, they do open and close.:)

First, I would like to thank Mike & Myszka Hall of Sierra Toy Soldier for sponsoring Andy's talk. The gift figure is a Royal Navy sailor in white uniform standing at attention with rifle on shoulder -- looks like a guard figure to go with D-Day Minus 1 theme. Andy started by talking about the...

Dear Rob, While we saw uncrewed prototypes and heard rumors, you lucky collectors in Britain get to see the actual production sets at the December London Show. Please post pictures of your purchases.:)

Tony, Does that mean there is no part 2 to the Lunch with Figarti?:eek:

If the winners of Sets #1 (Arnhem), Set #5 (TK1 Tiger), and Set #6 (Wittman's Last Tiger with North Africa stuff) are interested in trading figures that were separated on another shelf, please pm me.:)

Brad, I have greatly appreciated all the time and effort you expended moderating this Forum. I sometimes wondered when you got your real work done given the amount of time it must take to check the numerous posts in the sections you moderate. Your presence is one of the reasons Treefrog has...

The seller has courteously revised his description of Set #8 to note that the TK3 Jagdpanzer has a reglued strip on one side of the hull, allowing bidders to either cancel their bids or get $250 discount from the final bid price.:)

The big change is the willingness of the Chinese factories to do smaller production runs. However, prices will not drop much as the factories will not produce at a loss. I do not think collectors would have seen these 2nd editions a year ago when the factories refused to do smaller production...

The seller has indicated that he does not know much about what he is selling and I would guess he is helping a friend who was not the actual collector. With no boxes and little knowlege, the seller would be hard pressed to provide a detailed description. Some of the figure sets and and some of...

Grey Goose Collectibles website has it listed for £149.99, which is £4 pounds more expensive that the M4 Sherman with fording stacks. The M4 Sherman with fording stacks was US$179, so I would guess the Desert Sherman is US$189.00 given Figarti's usual pricing that ends in a "9.":cool...

Tom, That's what makes these particular auctions particularly fun ... :D

Sunny and 76 degrees ... nice weather for a drive.:D

My storage room looks like the warehouse at the end of the Raiders of the Lost Ark -- I think I can build a two story playhouse from all the K&C boxes that I have stored.:o

One easy clue is the feedback number ... just associate this number with the eBay ID.:D There is a certain group of collectors I keep track of.;)

Brad, You are not trying hard enough :D, while I agree that the condition is hard to determine, most of the pieces can be identified from the pictures given -- like an Abrams tank on the Arnhem shelf. He's also only 1.5 hours from me.:D I think the last 2 minutes of these auctions will be very...
