Re: Anyone want Kronprinz pictures? Will do. It might take me a few days, but keep checking back.

Anyone want Kronprinz pictures? I recently bought three figures from Kronprinz. They arrived today and I am pleased with all three. Their size is just a bit larger than WBritain. The Kronprinz website is in Spanish, which I can read well enough. I think that someone that doesn't read...

Useful info. Thanks.

Gideon, Thanks for the input. She started to work on improving her perspective after reading your post. Chris

Thank you for asking. Her website is http://www.jelderart.com/index.html. Samples of her pictures are at that website. She has never done a backdrop, so there will be no sample backdrops at that link. She just thinks that painting backdrops sounds like fun. Chris

My wife loves to paint and enjoys toy soldiers. She is willing to paint custom backdrop paintings on request for your dioramas. She isn't sure on pricing, but said that a 24 x 12 inch painting on watercolor paper she would do for about $25 plus shipping. Please PM or e-mail at...

Spitfrnd: I for one am impressed with your flight experience. I find your opnions on the comparative merits of the ME262 and the P80A to be quite compelling. I 'm not sure anyone noticed that you have flown in the 2 seat version of the P80A. Your thread citing comparative performance data is...

Millions of people are offended by the display of a Nazi flag with its prominent swastika. The issue is not whether you or I are offended; the issue is whether someone wants to display something that offends so many people. I would not. The apology by GJB22 was both classy and appropriate...

Ron, That's a capital price!

Well, on a brighter note... I am from the state of Washington in the northwest corner of the US, but I was stationed in the south for the last 7 years of my military service, ending in 1997. I had occasion to visit many areas of the south when I went on inspections of subordinate commands...

Great pictures. It seems that Collector's Showcase figures have more realistic faces than most King & Country figures.

Cool website! Thanks! And did you know that the name "Wayback Machine" comes from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show (at least that is the only place I have seen that name used)? I was an avid fan of that show in the 1960's.

Thanks. Already tried that for the ones I was interested in but came up empty. I just don't know of any website that pictures retired Collector's Showcase items.

Does anyone have a link where I can find pictures of these figures?

Well...your point is a good one, but the situation has always arisen with me when I have bought from a reputable dealer, and something just arrives bent (usually on a new toy soldier). Could I send it back to said dealer? Sure, and the dealer would happily reimburse me. However, I don't have...

I guess I have a different perspective. I would have just straightened the bent piece (if that was possible) and then forgotten about it. If it arrived broken, sure, I would have returned it, but just bent? I don't see the big deal. Lots of toys arrive with bent pieces. If I was a seller, I...

I'm with you, although it is sometimes entertaining to read the fractured "logic" that accompanies the posts ranting about the "K/C retired soldiers game." If the "retired products ploy" is bad, I guess W. Britain should still be making the same toy soldiers that they made in 1893.

Vezzolf wrote several posts today criticizing 1) the quality of K & C products, 2) the “K/C retired products ploy,” 3) the “K/C retirement game,” and 4) buyers who pay above retail for K & C. He further described positive K & C posts as Rah-Rah posts written to justify “price-gouging.” As...

It's allowed in Alabama as long as your wives are also your cousins.

Thank you for your response. I understand your point better now.
