A case of good and bad timing (1 Viewer)

[Spitfrnd]

I realize I am very new to figure collecting but as in many things, it seems like you spend a great deal of time waiting for things or least it can work out that way. I started after the Conte metal Spartans were mostly sold out and was fortunate enough, with some kind help from some nice folks here and some luck on Ebay, to just about fill out my primary desires without having to average above retail, that was good timing. Next I was fortunate to discover, again here, EoE's upcoming Roman line, Conte's upcoming new ZW and plastic Spartans and First Legion's very nice Nepoleonics, that was good. Now the Roman offerings have been delay for a few months, the Contes seems to be anyone's guess and even the First Legion French line in a few weeks overdue (which hopefully will not extend to the Cavalry) No big deal but it does make me wonder if waiting is one of the key parts of this hobby. Anyone else ever feel like that? Anyway, I feel better now.

It's like fishing. You might have to wait all afternoon, but then, you got to relax all afternoon, not answering phones or worrying about anything.

Prosit!

I fill the same waiting for the next batch of K& C Market Garden range But I think it will worth the wait
