Richard has been posting pictures of sculpts for a while now. As the months pass the likelihood of them seeing the light of day recedes further and further. We all live in hope that they will. %^V

Hopefully the surgery will resolve the issue. Wishing you a successful speedy recovery Malcolm. Regards Colin

I'd prefer better priced product.

My choices are a 110 mile - 3 hour round trip to the nearest good toy soldier stockist. Or a trip to the London Show that costs me a $100 before I've even left the front door. Both require planning. As not places I would go otherwise.

No different to other purchases. A bricks and mortar store is the front end. Means that less cash is tied up in physical stock. With centralised stores.

If I cannot see the product in the flesh then my money will spent be on pears instead.

What's the difference between a catalogue and the internet? Just pictures. As an example I buy my music directly from the artist when I attend gigs these days. Adds something when you can chat to the artist as well. Discuss their music. I've never bought a download in my life. Being a...

Perhaps it's manufacturers that need to rethink their retail strategy. Take the product to the customer. Akin to the old fashioned travelling salesman. Who literally toured the country. Even clubbing together to save on and share costs.

When Bachmann bought WB's in the UK they increased prices on existing stock that was held. If I recall correctly it was actually 2 price rises in a short period of time. Manufacturers made their own bed.

Conte Collectibles - Keith Rocco - ROURKE'S DRIFT - Set 1 - ZULU set - ROC001 Looking for this set for my collection.

The rapid increase in prices across the board is one reason why those with a lower budget have simply stopped buying new product. With supply outstripping demand. There's plenty to purchase in the secondary markets that allows people to get far more for their buck.

Still have my old vinyl. My favourite is My Generation - The Who (1965). An Aunt thought that I should be listening to proper music when I reached my teens. Now I buy new vinyl rather than cd's. There's something about handling an album cover. Looking at the artwork. The inserts. Reading the...

I recall an overhead conversation at a Toy Soldier Show some years back. Manufacturer "Many of our customers buy one for their collection, one for their pension fund and one to trade on the market". Still remember this even today. As struck me as being in the same vein as when Teddy Bears became...

Is it any longer a hobby? Or increasingly a preserve for the more affluent. Rising prices must be accounted for in a huge part by the lower production runs. Wasn't so long ago that vehicles such as tanks were produced in limited edition runs of 1,200. Was this in part a mirage? Bankers investing...

On a quiet day got my other halfs camera out.

So simple. :salute::

Where did you get your backdrop from? Looking for something similar for the BOSS sets diarama I'm building.

I believe ranking is determined by thread count and post count. Hence my earlier comment. If something is left to wither then naturally it will die.

Perhaps people keep posting threads about them. :confused:
