It's only my opinion but I'm not attracted to the Pacific theatre because the amphibious vehicles and landing craft etc look a bit odd on a shelf unless a good deal of effort is made regarding ocean/beach dioramas. Maybe more people would collect that range if K & C produced some (relatively) cheap stand alone dios that these amphibious vehicles and figs could be placed on.

At the risk of sounding political I feel the Russians part in WWII tends to be downplayed by many people in the US, so few bother to collect that range. Hollywood plays a part also because when we think Winter, we think of Battle of the Bulge and Germans rather than Russians.

Oz you're right about the vehicles. But for me I don't care about the vehicles just the toy soldiers. There was more to combat in the Pacific than just on the beaches. Wouldn't you love to see some Aussies slogging it out on the Kokoda Trail in New Guinea?

Hello Oz.
Would just like to point out that you don't need a beach or ocean for the Amtracs. These were used inland to provide fire support just as much as the tanks. They also shuttled supplies and medevaced wounded.

The Amtrac can be used anywhere you would take a tank. We used them extensively in Iraq and we were nowhere near a beach.
Semper Fi!

Thanks for the update, I sure wish I could have gotten to the West Coaster-maybe next year.

Any comments about the 'Crusader and Saracens' line ? I'm curious about how they're selling and any future releases of the line.

Andy said this line is doing very well and attracting collectors who only collect knights before and never bought a K&C set.

...and not to forget Merrill's Marauders in the Burma Campaign.
