Just finished the short story by Ian Knight in the latest Standard on the downfall of Isandlwana, a refreshing new angle as seen thru the eyes of one of the participants. Great little read. I see in the Standard also that it refers to Ian Knight's next issue, story on the 'guns of Isandlwana' and am hoping this might herald the next WB releases of a 5 & 7 pound artillery gun. What are the chances?

Scott, I agree with Mike on this one - nice to see different combinations of figures.
You have quite a decent sized collection now.

Thanks everyone for you comments. Yes I guess I do have quite a few figures now I think I need about 8 sets/figures and I will have all the WB releases up to date.
Going to have to start looking for additional table top space when the storehouse comes out

Hi Steve,Hi all,just a quick question about Rorke's Drift Storehouse 20047, has it been delayed?
When was it supposed to have been released,last year or this year it seems to be taking an age to be released
Regards Steve
Release date was for May 2010. If I remember correctly though we were made aware of it last year, which makes it feel like forever for it to finally arrive in our homes.
I think Britains had a fire in one of their factories which has delayed some product. Not sure if this is the reason for the delay with this building though. Hopefully it will be a couple more weeks before we get it to allow my finances to recover from the last wave of releases.
Cheers
Scott

Well if it is "AZW and variety" you are after then Britains is the top of the pack. With the exception of just a few of the early figures I am up to date with the WB releases, I feel that I am in to deep to abandon at this stage in the game. I must admit though I am loving everyone of the releases so far and having fun setting them up in mini dios to photograph.
