mitch summed it up, i was disappointed that there weren't follow ups.
Now, as for them sitting in store shelves, this brings up a good point. Were they sitting in stores because of people reluctant like me, or was there in fact no interest? It's a what came first question, the chicken or the egg?
This isn't something i complain about, however i mention my stories to illustrate that reading market interest by sales alone may not be painting an accurate picture, at least for new theme figures. I have a lot of hesitation now about new topic pieces, & i may not be alone. I made the wrong call on awi, and thought that those brits would be a core range. I made the right call on crete...as much as i love them, i didn't buy them & now don't regret it. I would have been very unhappy with those few sets.
I also wonder if those early 4 walking dday brits had a similar situation. They lasted on the market forever (maybe still there) and by coincidence, they were loners. They never had a companion set or anything. I didn't get those either & don't regret it. Could it be that others didn't buy them because they were out there all alone?
hi blowtorch, i must say that those 4 walking brits a so fantastic that they and the ss tank riders ws31 are the only sets that i have 4 of. I usually don not even do duplicates [ except the t34/85 and nashhorn]. They just go with so many scenes. As for the crete fj's, i think you can use them for the invasion of the low countries
