Hey Gang-

Just wanted to take a moment and discuss openly a PM I received from Mr. Neilson. I approached him late last week regarding some comments he had made and some overall thoughts on the direction KC is heading. The tone was civil from myself and his response back.

I'll admit that the subject matter I conversed about was somewhat dicey though he took it in stride and responded to me in a very respectful tone. I have to admit that it took some time and effort on his behalf to reach out to me and address every one of my points. I will readily admit I was very impressed and appreciative of this gesture made by King and Country.

So, with that being said, I do thank King and Country for everything they have done for this hobby and bringing hobby enjoyment into my life and friends and families. Admittedly, my paycheck isn't what it used to be and I am finding myself left further and further behind with all the companies releases, still, it was nice to feel that I was worth Andy's time and effort to provide me a kind and courteous message.

With all the angst and fervor embroiled with his company, I have to admit that his response reminded me a great deal why I spent so many years supporting KC with my hard earned dollars.

With that, Mr. Neilson, thank you for the kind and direct responses to my direct questions,. You did not skirt around the questions, you answered them head on. You've still got a fan in Currahee Country!!{sm4}{bravo}}

Very best regards

Is this not left best as a PM conversation between two people. Otherwise the controversy that CC seemed to not wish to cause will just occur

I agree, Mitch, well said. All we need to know is that Chris makes a very nice testimonial about Andy and his service to customers and collectors.

Prost!

Wow - You guys are really something ?

All I was asking Chris if he felt there were critical questions that were answered he wanted to share - thats all.

I swear - it is incredible how members look to start trouble where there is none.

I highly doubt that I WOULD BE CONSIDERED ANTI-K&C :rolleyes:
 
Ron was hoping it related to Seminoles :D and hopefully not Maximillian!

LOL - Thank you Brad

Yes, I know there is a secret plan to release SEMINOLES - big seller it would be :wink2:

or perhaps we would finally get the answer - we all know that is coming .... YES, Operation Market Garden is done ! {eek3}
 
Chris...I have exchanged only a couple of emails with Mr. Nielson...and he has always been courteous and detailed in his replies...he has treated me like a big spender and important customer...while in reality I only collect LOJ, MK, AG and some Naps...a very polite fellow...
 
HEY CHRIS how are you buddy?I am so glad you let people know that Andy took the time to answer you and was strait forward with you.He sometimes takes a lot of abuse on his new items --retirements -and pricing--no way to please all.Thanks for passing this on.MIke B.^&grin

Ron, he probably didn't want to upset you by giving away the new line of Market Garden figures set to take over the hobby next year.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is always nice to hear a story with a positive outcome. Kudos to you and to Andy for cooperating respectfully and successfully with one another while resolving questions and/or issues. You both deserve credit for for your direct, civil, respectful, and meaningful communication.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat {bravo}}
 
Chris,

thanks for posting the thread about your correpsondence with Andy, and like you, I've always had great postive feedback from him too, and it makes me feel like a 'special customer' too.

Hello:

I have had E-mail exchanges a number of times over 10 or so years now and he has been very good about getting back to me with appropriate comments and he is always very nice to talk to when ever I have seen him at the Old Toy Soldier Show held at Schaumburg, IL, USA.

I think Andy cares about "each" individual collectors concerns and addresses them on a one on one basis when the time permits. If you ever get a chance to chat it up with Andy in person he is a very cheerfull and enthusiastic Toy Soldier Maker.....and collector ! Cheers ................
 
Never a doubt about Andy or K&C when my 190,s cockpit got smashed Andy posted me a new one (No charge) with in a week of me asking for help,great bloke i owe him a pint or 7...............{sm4}
