    HK124 Bird Shop

    I second Ron's suggestion that you should contact K&C, but there is your admission of how the damage occurred. I have the SOHK piece you describe and also had a problem with one of the bird cages. Please be aware that K&C products are all hand crafted and painted. Chinese workers snipped tiny...

    Two Beauties from Figarti

    Since its printed on the box, I think that's confirmation there will only be 100 British Fireflies. However, similar to the second V2 rocket, Figarti can always do another variant (different turret numbers or unit) if it feels there is enough demand.:)

    Price Point Comparisons With Figarti.

    Given the price resistence faced by Honour Bound for its $350 (adding accessories and figures) Gold Edition vehicles, I hope that First Legion finds a combination of pricing and features that will make its vehicles a success.:) It does have an advantage over Figarti and K&C in that it is a...

    Two Beauties from Figarti

    As far as I know, all Figarti products are limited to 100 units. However, even though collectors sometimes mistaken me for Rick, please do not make a purchasing decision based on my information. I am sure Rick will post the production numbers.:)

    Two Beauties from Figarti

    John, The "polystone" used by K&C is plastic resin with marble dust. Figarti tanks are polyresin or plastic resin with some type of hardener (not marble dust) with metal pieces and photo etched details added.:)

    Figarti & K&C dinners??luncheons??

    In the last three years, the Lunch with Figarti has been on a Friday and the K&C Dinner on a Saturday, so the dates should be September 25 for the Lunch with Figarti and September 26 for the K&C Dinner. Figarti usually starts its "Shock and Awe" announcements on the Forum a few weeks before the...

    Price Point Comparisons With Figarti.

    I think the typical Figarti production runs are actually 60 to 100 sets per variant. The Japanese Type 89 Cannon was limited to 60 sets and very hard to find while the Winter Panzer IV, V1 with launch ramp, and original V2 at 100 sets sold out very quickly.:)

    Figarti on fire

    In the London Show photos, there is a picture of Clive's display. The place card for the Firefly describes the set as "British Firefly VC," so I think this is probably the Vc version.:) Did anybody get #1???:cool:

    Figati Fuel Truck - Only For V2??

    I understand that the Figarti V2 Fuel Truck is the same Opel Blitz fuel truck that the Luftwaffe used on its airfields -- just filled with gasoline instead of the rocket fuel component. However, most wartime pictures seem to show tanks being refueled from oil drums transported on trucks.:)

    Just started an interest in figarti

    On Figarti's 1/32 scale Tigers, the tracks were made like the real thing ... separate metal links held together with pins. At the introduction of the Tiger at the Chicago show several years ago, Rick mentioned that it took one Figarti employee 1.5 days just to make tracks for just one side of a...

    Frontline Glossy WWI Aces

    Sorry, just got back from a business trip ... the original price of PS3 was US$79. My PS sets did not include any insert naming the figures, just the standard Frontline set number certificate.:)
