Britain's Zulu War (3 Viewers)

Well,
As Richard has posted elsewhere there were several delays at our factory in Mainland China this year. Some of the sets that were ready at this end for a Fall catalog, were held for the January edition so there would be a realistic delivery time. As a result there are more sets coming on line that we had planned.
I have mentioned before that we try to spread out the releases so we financially stress the collectors a bit less, so hopefully this will not reoccur again in 2009.
This strategy was a bit risky when 1st Gear first acquired W. Britain, but I would like to think that Richard has proven that we design ranges that invite later additions.
Gone are the three figure sets that have three unrelated poses in them...that never got follow up add on sets. Even our Classic Gloss singles have been getting additional poses and ranks to slowly build units.
Hope this helps.
Ken
P.S.
The new catalog should be going to press in about four weeks.

Thanks very much for the info Ken.........looking forward to 09

Hi All!
2009 should be a pretty good year for you Zulu War collectors. By my last count there are 13 new figures that will appear in the January catalog alone. The storehouse should follow later along with more new 24th and Zulus...
Stay tuned for details!
Ken

OK, I will have to think long and hard about getting into the matte figures........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................There I've thought about it and I will be getting them all

I have a sneaky suspicion they will go with the large box, with my name on it, under the Christmas tree

Merry Christmas

Jag,

Nice seeing you creating photo dio's and I'm sure you'll agree the Brit figures are fun to play with. ? It's my understanding that the hand to hand set from Modelzone is a one piece set true or false and if not could provide photos of it. Looking forward to your nex batch of photos...........The Lt.

Great stuff Jag,

Your display is coming along nicely. I like how you have placed the guy in his socks being dragged over the mealie bags.

Nice shots, if you guys keep posting great pictures, I might be forced to start buying Britian's Zulus.

I know what you mean, I was unable to resist the temptation however and now I am in the land of the Zulu's I will say this, if you do start collecting them, you will NOT be disappointed. They are beautifully sculpted, painted and very detailed.

I currently collect Little Legion, but everytime I go to the Toy Soldiers Shoppe, the Hospital keeps calling me and now a storehouse is coming soon.
