Hey...I've heard that it's possible to visit the Figarti factory/showroom/store. I've found myself unexpectedly in Shanghai this weekend, with a free day Sunday. I'm wondering if the factory is open this weekend, and if so. How I might arrange a visit or tour. Apologies for doing this on the...

I'm about to make a trip to China - Beijing, Xian and Shanghai (unfortunately not Hong Kong). I was wondering if there were K&C or other toy soldier shops there. I couldn't find any on K&C's official site, but was hoping maybe there was something I missed. If not, I suppose I can start...

Hey everyone - thanks to all those who had nice things to say about my post. Chris - yes, my post might have been many things, but concise wasn't one of them:) Rob - I hope that you don't withdraw from the forum, and that my posts didn't encourage you do so. Andy's "usual suspects" line...

CONTINUED from the previous post (with apologies re: length) "2. “Business Not What It Used To Be” Well, none of us know that the future holds… but as far as we know K&C’s Business is in a very healthy position and continues to grow..." I defer to K&C as to whether their business and the TS...

Just want to start out by saying my intent is not to dredge up an old post or open old wounds. But, I really have been "pondering" these points for a while and felt I needed to respond. "I’m just taking a bit of a break from a big desert diorama that I’m building for one of our collectors in...

First, have to start this thread by giving my compliments to Rob for a display of K&C AFVs and figures that really blew me away. Excellent use/placement of the figures in the dio, great job creating the scenery, wonderful photography. They say a picture's worth a thousand words, and in many...

So much that's impressive to me about this, don't know where to start. Well, obviously, the sheer NUMBER of figures. But I love the arrangement and photography as well. The shot from behind the catapult with the looming fortrees in the background. I love the desert buildings, most of which...

Actuallly, it should be noted that the Karl rail carrier (or at least my rail carrier) came with only enough track for the rail carrier. The Karl itself does not come with track. Meaning there's not enough track to display the rail carrier holding the Karl. So if you want to display the...

A trireme would get me off the fence on this line. Although given the size and weight (and price!), I wonder if it wouldn't be too big for K&C, and need an outside builder like the guy who built that amazing "San Pablo".

Hasn't thought of that. Would buy the whole JSOC if I could:)

First, want to apologize if I injected politics into TS collecting or came off as flip about it. I was living in NY during 9/11 and know a number of people who lost their lives and/or lost love ones. I in part figured that a dead OBL was one thing everyone could agree on, and I think I was...

My captured Bin Laden figure is now an anachronism. Seriously, God bless our men and women in uniform.

Wow...I never fail to be blown away by BSP's dioramas and photos. With this one, I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't an archival war photo. Don't want to double post, so I'll say her the D-Day scene was a real work of art. If you haven't done so already, you should publish a...

With the new fighting Sikhs, does anyone think there will be opposition produced? If so, what kind?

I agree with you Brad, but: There have been so many German Eastern Front releases (Fall of Berlin, Cossacks etc.) it boggles the mind there's no opposition. And while I'm unsure an entire RANGE would succeed, I think a T-34 is a no brainer. I posted as much on the CS Russians thread. The...

Agreed (although the last thing I need is to start collecting a new line). I think the success of 300 ignited a renewed interest in the Greeks. There's a follow up (or prequel) graphic novel and film focusing on Xerxes, so I think there'd be a market for it.

Happy to oblige, uksubs. Lots to look forward to, and that doesn't include the WWI biplanes.

I think he said "a few days"...which might would be a nice Saturday surprise...but probably means an excruciating wait until Tuesday.{eek3} Seriously...that dockside diorama, which I got to see in person at last year's Westcoaster, is one of the best dios Gordon's done, imo. The water was...

Not sure if this is what you want, but here's a list of all the the Polystone Warbirds (and those scheduled to be produced), from Andy's post last year: "Up to this point K&C Warbirds has produced the following: (In no particular order) (I) Hawker Hurricane (2 versions) (II) P51 Mustang (III)...

Agreed, especially the T-34. It would go with both the K&C Fall of Berlin and the recent Figarti Russians, and I think would be a sellout even as a one-off. Furthermore, I think the T-34 would appeal to more than just Russo-philes. It's one of THE iconic tanks of WWII, right up there with...
