    Sabaton - Metal Music - Military History Themes

    Last spring I went to an Epica concert in the Twin Cities, and Sabaton was an opening act. I thought they were pretty good, but they quickly fell off the radar screen. Last week I came across them again (thanks to my son), and I'm highly impressed. Sabaton brings together two things I love...

    My First OTSN Show - Advice Please

    I'm planning to channel my inner Hulk Hogan and strong arm everyone trying to get through without making a purchase! I may appear scrawny, but deep inside there is a ripped dude trying to get out...too bad he's hiding behind these limp noodles...

    2016 Chicago show.

    I figured someone would just wheel you around in a big, bulky wheelchair! That would be brilliant in those small rooms...

    k&c price increase

    You are correct...this is a list of items with changing prices. Anything not on the list remains the same.

    UK vote

    Gents, this forum has a policy against talking politics. Since the Brexit vote was a major issue, and since many around the world wanted to hear from those in the UK, I allowed it to stand...for a while. Inevitably threads like this move past the vote itself into interpretations of the...

    UK vote

    I'm not so sure that Jesus would get elected! A bit too radical for some, and definitely not a party line guy!! Remember, the last time he faced off with the government he found himself with a death sentence...

    The Continuing Story of a Dying Hobby

    Again, the assumption seems to be that there is no hope of finding new collectors. I've heard that story for 15 years now. I'm not being Pollyanna here. I can only speak for what happens in my shop...but we do see new customers coming into the hobby. They may not show up on a Forum, but they...

    The Continuing Story of a Dying Hobby

    If the customer base is static and shrinking, I'd agree with you, yet we have a hobby that is virtually unknown to most people. How many potential collectors are out there, people who love military history and love collecting? I don't necessarily need 20 year olds. If I can find a bunch of 50...

    The Continuing Story of a Dying Hobby

    Lately there have been a flood of posts about how this hobby is dying, how collectors are getting older, how this can't last much longer, how manufacturers are going to start dropping like flies. This narrative hasn't changed since Shannon and I got into the hobby in 2001. While we heard the...

    k&c price increase

    You post this with the unwritten assumption that profits are huge and the goal is to squeeze collectors to make them even larger. None of us have access to their profit-loss statements. For some, when they don't know the facts the assume the worst. Nobody is ever thrilled with price...

    King & Country U.K.

    To clarify my post...the figures with CRW in the item number were exclusive to K&C UK. The ones with CR were general releases...

    King & Country U.K.

    The CRW line was exclusive to K&C UK (they worked through Treefrog on this side of the pond). We bought out their remaining stock, so many of the figures can still be found at http://www.treefrogtreasures.com/search.aspx?searchterm=crw Pete

    What is an assault rifle?

    Mr. Reed is no longer a part of this thread. I recognize that this could veer out of control very quickly, so please keep to the topic at hand.

    Orlando

    I join in prayers for those suffering. I'm allowing a thread like this as a way to show caring for those effected. Remember, politics have no place on this forum, so 'placing blame' or 'finding solutions' to this tragedy are out of bounds. I join many of you in having STRONG opinions on what...
