    Shock and Awe 2009

    No, I am going to wait for the West Coaster since I drive down from San Francisco and it is easier to just stick it in my car. I have pre-ordered one since I was told there were already pre-orders for 13 Sunday morning.:)

    Andy's Talk at 5th Chicago K&C Dinner

    Again, when Andy says a theme does not sell or is a poor seller, it does not mean the production run does not eventually sell, it just takes too long. Collectors should understand that in past meetings, Andy has explained what he means by "poor sellers." A "good seller" sells most of the...

    Rick's Comments During 2009 Lunch with Figarti

    I have to respectfully disagree with your conclusion.:) As reported, the business model appears to arise from the physical production limitation of only being able to get an average of 100 pieces from a single mold and past demand. Out of the recent releases, I believe only the Winter 88...

    Shock and Awe 2009

    With the large number of hinges (all them open, including the doors on the turret armored side skirt) and photo etch detail, the Panzer IV Ausf J would be more than $300.:eek: Rick feels that in this present economy the tank would be too expensive and Figarti is still working on lowering the...

    Rick's Comments During 2009 Lunch with Figarti

    The comments are in bullet points since Rick showed slides as he made comments. After introducing his team, Rick reviewed this year. Great time to be collector since a lot of great products were being released by all the manufacturers. Figarti is making more frequent monthly releases...

    Andy's Talk at 5th Chicago K&C Dinner

    Before I summarize Andy's talk, I want to thank Peter and Shannon Reuss of Treefrog Treasures, Mike and Myszka Hall of Sierra Toy Soldier Company, and Tim Tyler of Troops of Time for the wonderful dinner. Because of the flu, Tim was unable to attend the dinner. I am probably mispelling his...
