    Tarrifs

    I agree with you on cars, US cars and trucks are not as good as European and/or Japanese and Korean. Plus they are impractical for many of European places. There is a guy locally who has a Ford 150 truck and he cannot drive it down or park it in his own street and drive down may other streets...

    Tarrifs

    Well this got heated, I think time will tell, but it has been implemented poorly, sweeping overall tariffs, on Islands with no people or places like the Falkland Islands because they have big trade imbalances, as they buy very little compared to what they export to the USA.

    King & Country Dispatches -- April 2025

    Those retiring Russians Sailors look great, never really looked at them as do not collect Russians, but may have a second look as would make really nice diroama in one of my 40cm X 40cm cabinets. Thirteen figures [could use the dead German somewhere else]. Guess that is more to add to the list.

    John Jenkins and First Legion, TGM and Britain,s Dealers......................

    I agree, i have bought from Tfrog, always been very happy with service and sets. My comment on looking at the shop in Australia was because the question came from an Aussie Tfrogger.

    Apr 2025 dispatches ?

    Always look forward to the dispatches, would like to see some Allied Desert sets and/or FOB. K & C were busy stocktaking last week, i placed an order last week and they said it would not be sent until this week as it was their annual stock take.

    Belgian Gates

    Where did you get them from, they look a bit different than mine? Bit more detail. I bought some chains as well, thinking of having them hanging or wrapped around the gates. I have a pictures from a museum in Normandy, see below, I would also like to find the concrete pyramids shapes as well...

    Belgian Gates

    Any News about Prices changing soon?

    One way to check price increases through tarriffs is to look at the prices direct from HK and the prices from dealers in the US. I have already ordered a 3 set of each Jacobite release, i am hoping to get up to the Battlefield this year, it is a full days drive from where i live to...

    Any News about Prices changing soon?

    Will be interesting to see if they do go down if/when the tariffs are removed? As have noticed in the past couple of years prices seem to have stablised and John's figures are prices consistantly, but this just might be me and what i collect. You have to remember that any restocks for dealers...
