Was perusing the Chicago show pictures and noticed on the D-Day display ( the one that showed the German beach fortifications and Allies landing on the beaches) that in the Germans trenches it appears that there are numerous Fallshirmjagers in Normandy camo. Sorry I don't know how to post the...

I thought I'd let the new dispatch settle for a little while to collect my thoughts. I was so overwhelmed at all the great releases. I want them all and there are a lot of retirements I want too however the reality is I can't have it all. :( I've enjoyed reading everyone's responses. The...

I like many collectors are one of the unfortunates :( who does not have a bricks and mortar store to see releases first hand before making a purchase decision. As such I exclusively rely on pictures and therefore what I see greatly influences my purchasing decision. I’m sure many of you have...

I’m going to play armchair toy soldier manufacturer. Over the last while the forum has been filled with posts about the Eastern Front and grey Germans. It would be understandable that many collectors would conclude that we had a major shift in sentiment. I contend however that these subject...

The new Kreigsmarine band ad in the new collector got me to thinking about naval ranges in general. To date K&C have created a limited number of RN and USN pieces with some very expensive landing craft. We've also seen some Kreigsmarine with a mini-sub and crane type halftrack. As with all lines...

Hi guys, I've got some pieces for sale if anyone is interested in taking them off my hands. Need to make space and rationalize my collection a bit. I only charge what it costs to ship it to you. For my TREEFROGGERS who live in the USA and Canada its not too expensive but if you live overseas...

On a recent post Andy humbly stated he wasn't a business wizard. I humbly disagree. ;) Everybody knows that his magic transformed the toy soldier industry back in 1984. I think its time K&C showed that magical leadership again and transform this industry...and I have faith they can do it....the...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all treefroggers. CFM is giving you all a little love irrespective of what manufacturer or era you collect! ;) Lets put flowers in our gunbarreles for one day............errrr well that's enought of that crap. Carry on! :tongue:

Hey TREEFROGGERS I don't like to dwell in the past ( catch the irony considering our hobby :p ) so lets look out to 2011. What are you guys expecting this upcoming year to bring from K&C? Over the last little while we've seen a proliferation of new lines ex. RAF, Kriegsmarine, USAAF and even...

For all you WWII enthusiasts there is a very good website about CANADA'S important role on D-Day. www.stormingjuno.com In particular if you search the site you can select interviews with a wide variety of veterans that were there. Very emotional and powerful stuff. We must never forget their...

Hi guys. I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding K&C's new 250 series? Positives: 1) Produces obscure vehicles for the true diehard of a series. 2) You can get the same vehicle in many different camo schemes which gives the collector more choice. 3) Super limited release could add...

Now with the last dispatch we know everthing that has or will be released in 2009. With that in mind I was curious to see what TREEFROGGERS favourite releases were in 2009 and I always love hearing your explanations as too why. No restrictions here, you can choose more than one piece and you...

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE with a panzer grenadier on top, make a German Mk. IV ( Long barrel ) late war version with side skirts. To date we've seen a grey short barreled version from FOB and similar Afrika Korp version ( both updates on an older long retired K&C piece ), Afrika Korp Mk. IV long...

As an avid TREEFROGGER I have noticed many praises and criticisms of K&C armour for a host of reasons. One that comes up time and again is the idea of crewed tanks. Recently some people have criticized the new AK Pz. III because it lacks an extra crew member that the original had. Yet I've also...

The last number of dispatches we've seen both a grey FOB version and Sand AK version of the short barrelled Stug and Pz. IV. Can we expect a FOB grey version of the new Pz. III? I think that would be awesome. There are a great deal many other German vehicles/tanks etc that would look good in...

I awoke this morning with a great sense of anticipation for this month's K&C dispatch. Well I wasn't disappointed! In my very biased and humble opinion I think the June 09 dispatch is "their best one ever". I have waited my whole life to have Canadian toy soldiers and now that dream is within...

Hey guys its been awhile since I've seen a poll. Sometimes its nice to just vote instead of typing a bunch of words. Anyways I compiled some data on Commonwealth Vehicles that K&C has put out and was curious which ones you Treefroggers like best. With the upcoming D-Day releases I thought this...

Displaying collections is always an issue with space, competing interests for housespace ( insert wife & kids ), pets, proper cases/cabinetry etc. I've had some requests from forum members to display my collection however I have a serious problem, perhaps others share this concern and can...
