Welcome on board Kurt, The highest quality of sculpting is broadly spread across a number of recent releases in a number of different series. You can't go wrong with pretty much anything released over the past 2 or 3 years, although some of the action-type poses in the WWII ranges necessitate...

Welcome on board Panzer Ace, Firstly, I think the elite units of any fighting force tend to attract the most attention, and thus the unfortunate foot sloggers of the ordinary 'poor bloody infantry' recede into an anonymous or indistinguishable mass; Green Howards, Coldstream etc just seem...

Welcome KVASEY, I can't claim any expertise on the matter but my guesses are as follows: 1. Generally Andy would discontinue an item if there were plans to produce a similar item (eg the AK20 demag was axed, and along came the AK29 greif; WS43 was retired but the moulds were used for the...

Hi, In a further bout of re-organisation I've decided to offer the following sets for sale here prior to going down the eBay route in April. AK 11 Afrika Korps Fallschirmjager. (Basically these are 2002 repaints by K&C of the FJ06 set, plus a slightly re-modelled figure that was commissioned by...

Welcome on board Simon, I've been away for the past few weeks so a belated welcome. Sam in the Irish Toy Soldier, Belfast is probably the only official K&C stockist on the island, although Paul Bacon in Ballymena occasionally used to sell K&C. I buy from over 20 different dealers, all great...

Thanks Louis, Hans, Larry, Brad and everyone who contributed to the symposium. It seems that a good time was had by all. (Alas I missed the webcast but thanks for the update on what was said).

Andrew, You're right - Syd has been cleared out. Only about 2 weeks ago he still had NA voltigeurs and AR French etc and BR Lincolnshire regiments. From an Australian perspective the shipping probably renders quite a few online retailers out of bounds unless they offer a good deal on the...

Welcome to the forum Monty. Are you that AJM eBay seller? You'll get some of those AR/BR sets on Syd Hannah's Garrison Toy Soldiers in Brisbane: http://garrisonsoldiers.com.au/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=10&osCsid=4b4a98d8d249c4b05ae8e3e2c29ba351 Regards, Joe

At El Alamein the Fallschirmjager captured British equipment and drove off into the sunset, eventually catching up with the retreating German forces: http://www.feldgrau.com/ramcke.html http://www.germanwarmachine.com/fallschirmjager/northafrica.htm

It's impressive but at that price I could assemble the materials for a 1:1 scale effort ...

The Collectors' Showcase people seem to have a similar cream jacketed officer, but on Afrika Korps duty: http://www.thecollectorsshowcase.com/prods/Afrika_korp/Rommel_Adjutnant.jpg Its a welcome development for K&C to add to the range of officers' uniforms, as its nice to have something...

Best of luck John. We'll be thinking of you.

I had great grandfathers and granduncles who served in WWI. They came back to a very changed Ireland in the post-WWI era, as there was an insurgency raging for the next 2 years, and a civil war thereafter. Still though, it was strange that for years they still kept low-key Poppy Day remembrance...

Pierre has posted a link to the original trailer used in the European release (Indegenes) on another thread.

Because it's also known as a Slugger? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M36_Jackson

I don't like to work out on this old treadmill too often but I suppose it has to be said that (a) yes, there is a great dealer network, many of whom have carried huge K&C inventories (Dickens, etc) when other companies were producing a much smaller range of items, ie the dealers acted not only...

I think it's a repaint of a Del Prado/Hachette piece, and thus you should be able to find its ugly cousin at a fraction of the price.

As far as I can recall, the popular accounts say that Stalin let Churchill burn the envelope upon the back of which post-War "spheres of influence" had been agreed. Stalin understood that any threat to the Suez/Eastern Med would be in breach of those understandings reached. The Greek Communists...

It was a British sergeant as far as I can recall. Nothing special but more rare than a raw steak.

4 of the 5 VCs at Arnhem were posthumously awarded. I like to think of the Arnhem artillery set as honouring Lance-Sergeant John Baskeyfield, the mortar crew as representing Captain Queripel, the PIAT operator as being Major Cain and the charging figure as that of Lt Grayburn. Unfortunately...
