I knew the Phils would lose, after the way they played in Game 1. Offense was in one of the periodic slumps they had during the season. You can't afford that in a best-of-5 series. And pitching alone can't win you a game-you need at least 1 more run than the other team. The bullpen also...

Listening to Game 4 now. I need my medication...

Stern is an overgrown adolescent. When I was still an overgrown adolescent, I thought he was funny. That lasted through the 90s. I enjoyed the sophomoric humor. But it was really more about the ensemble he put together, not Howard by himself. After 9/11, he spent more time spouting his...

I think the Phillies are done. The bats are in another of the slumps they experienced during the season. You don't win games with pitching alone, you need to score more runs than the other team. And they have Ranger Suarez going tonight. Everyone gushed about him in the first half of the...

I always think of a paraphrase something Max says in "The Lost Boys": "Silly people! Never let progressives at the levers of power. It renders you powerless." Prost! Brad

I've said it here in this forum, and elsewhere. Weather reporting long ago turned into ratings-based weathertainment. Prost! Brad

Not trying to be a smart-aleck, but have you tried any web searches? It would help to know where you may already have looked. I ran a search just now on "american fronter limited edition" which returned a lot of hits, but not this figure. The first hit returned, though, was for an artist...

You didn't mention how you tried to contact him. This is his website: https://www.sagerssoldiers.com/ There's a phone number listed there, and there's a Contact Us page, which lists an email address. Did you try either of those?

A quick search for the error message text on the web returned posts that suggest the issue is with ATS' site or host, that it's blocking some traffic. That would explain why some can't access but others can. Prost! Brad

What's the URL you have, John? I still get the error, using http://www.ats-uk.net/. I'm running Firefox 130.0 on a Win10 laptop. I haven't tried clearing the browser cache yet; there may be something cached that caused the problem. I haven't tried any other browser and platform yet, but I did...

The website shows, "Web Page Blocked! The page cannot be displayed. Please contact the administrator for additional information. URL: www.ats-uk.net/ Client IP: 64.121.175.249 Attack ID: 20000018" That's not necessarily a sign that ATS is out of business. It could also be a technical...

Not really anything to research. When you have figures left over-say you bought a box of 40 but you only used 10-they go in to what we call The Stash, or in the case of figures, the Grey Army (referring to figures that are primed but not painted). If you think you'll never use them, or don't...

Golf Channel does that, too. At least the split screen isn't as odious as cutting away completely for a commercial. You can still see what's happening in the game or tournament. Prost! Brad

When people say that football is more exciting than baseball, I point out that football is an hour-long game, played in 3 1/2 to 4 hours' time. Prost! Brad

I don't think the sculpt or casting is in error. I think that depicts two different positions in the saber drill. If there's an error, perhaps it's in the photos that are posted with the same designation. Have you tried reaching out to First Legion to ask? Prost! Brad

Yes! I bought a lot of the Alexander Grenadier sets when Guard Corps was still in business. That was a joint venture between Ed Lober and Alan Silk, who had their own lines, respectively. They did the sculpting here and had the casting done in Hong Kong by a company called FairTech, Inc...

If I'm not mistaken, we have a thread or subforum for Pickelhaube here in the forum. His figures were nice, but the namesake piece of equipment on his Imperial troops wasn't quite right. He made the rear brim a little too long, more like the British pith helmet than the actual Pickelhaube. You...

Meh. Campaign memorabilia has been sold from the early days of our republic. It always reflects prevailing tastes. I'm sure it's not uniquely American to have it. Prost! Brad

Yes, I also cut a piece of metal sheet for horses, if there's no kit base. I got some Stadden horse castings that needed bases, for example. Many kit horses that I get, like Imrie-Risley, come with a nice white metal base, and I use those. Agreed, hopefully that helps David. Prost! Brad
