My Brit chariot and Dacians arrived today. I am very pleased with everything. The chariot is the 1st chariot in my collection so I'm delighted to have it. I must say though if you are ordering this piece follow the directions to remove it. I followed it to the "t"and still had some minor damage to the yoke which I was able to fix up with a bit of glue. The horses are a much improvement painting wise then the Roman mounted figures. I keep my fingers crossed that TGM does more Brits and Dacians because they did an excellent job with them. Although, I do want to see that Falx held correctly on their next batch. No biggie since its only two figures and I might try to convert them seeing it wouldn't be to difficult. Anyway here are a couple quick photos. Sorry the lighting wasn't the best.



 
Superb looking figures- great score my friend

I have decided against it- perhaps I might pick it up at a show where I can see it firsthand. Otherwise, I just don't want to go down the same road I went down with KC'S Egyptian chariot. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to sell or package chariots in several boxes/ pieces and then the collector assembles at home. Have a molded base, two loose figures in the chariot, two loose horses, etc. There has got to be a way to do this.
 
I tell you what. If I ever were to sell this piece down the road it would strictly have to be a pickup sale because there is no way I am getting this back in the box the way it was. And frankly if it didn't go in the box the same way then I could see damage being caused by improper packaging. Glad, its staying with me for the long haul though. It will probably be my sons problem down the road, lol.
 
Looks like a great set, congrats. The best way to package complicated sets sometimes is not to use the original box.
