    Red Lancers!

    It looks like it will be well worth the wait , to me FL and K and C are quite different style wise so I can understand your thoughts on it not working together as a display .

    Red Lancers!

    I must have looked at the Colbert figure a few dozen times at least , so when it disappeared from FL,s main page I was kind of kicking myself. I made the same mistake with the Prussian flag bearer , but never managed to find one at a dealer or on ebay. So your advice of targeting certain...

    Red Lancers!

    I think its fair enough they will not reproduce that exact figure as it was always stated on FL,s website that these mounted personalitys where ltd in quantity. "Further, we are producing these figures in very limited quantities as "Special Collectors Sets", so they are highly collectible...

    Figarti I,m PO,ed!

    To be honest , as detail has improved and they become more delicate I can handle the odd broken antenna etc , [packaging seems very good for the most part these days] and with the rigours of international shipping s%$# happens as they say. Flaking paint seems more avoidable to me though , I...

    Figarti I,m PO,ed!

    No , I bought one of the Hueys and although its not major I had paint flaking on one of the doors which is not metal. [still think its a really sharp looking model ]

    Pricing, where's your limit??

    Another small point is If manufacturers have kept the same % in terms of mark up [dealers also ] the reality is they dont have to sell as many $200 plus tanks etc [as opposed to the good old days of under $100 vehicles] to keep on making the same profits. So some being driven out of the hobby...

    "I'm getting out of the hobby"....................

    I can see the day when I call it quits [not through cost or space] , the closest I have come is a couple of years back when I had to move my collection to do some renovations at home. Packing them all up I thought , why the hell do I need all this stuff :smile2:. So I have probably halved my...

    NAP0401-NAP0406 French Guard Horse Artillery

    Imperial Sets For Sale NZ/Aus

    [It's bad enough when sellers keep saying that they've "closed", "retired" etc which is also patently untrue....] It may well be what they believe , most of the collectors I have come across do not know they are back in buisness .

    Rugby - England v Australia

    It looks like Richie McCaw in the black Cap [the captain] and a couple of other All Blacks and one of the coaches .

    VN005-VN009 Vietnam US 25th Infantry Division!

    That is a great looking shot , I reckon these figures are some the best FL has produced. I also hope the wait is not to long before we get some additions.

    latst FL add

    Gebhard, My lawn could do with a Mow ;) .[ I could hide some Naps in the garden as payment] Looking back at what they have released in the Napoleonic range this year alone is amazing though . I wonder how many other collectors are looking back on the decision to "just buy one too see what they...

    Mike Tarantino's Toy Soldier Collection

    Hi Mike Yes , I spotted your imperial figures [love the HS highand square display ] . I dont own any of Imperials earliest sets so its nice to see them. It has been quite some time since I have managed to call past Imperial , so fingers and toes crossed they will have something new in the...
