Matt,
Are these the Russian Tauride Grenadiers that will be coming in late April? I took this picture from the First Legion workbrench on your website.

Any body who collects FL Napoleanics is going to have a world class collection.

All very true. Of course in my case it all started with the question of how can a confirmed Sharpe devotee not collect Napoleonics when they look this good. Thus I was done in by the initial French lot, which are a true bargain at $35. I know I plan on swelling my ranks right smartly when the re-issue is completed.I agree , I started with a couple of the Bavarians and it has snowballed from there . I also collect Aeroart and pro painted kits which are not cheap , double . To me First Legion has filled the void , the problem with the Russian Figures and Master painted kits beside the price is that no matter how much you spend you will never have enough figures of the same unit to make a decent display . First legion is releasing 15 to 20 figures of a particular unit to start with , giving you plenty of choices of figure positions to make a decent set up . I even wish they would do more, case in point , I need some shooting Prussians .And I'm sure Bill would love even more British variations . Seriously anybody who claims to be a fan of the Napoleonic era and is passing on these is IMO missing out on something special . How can anyone look at these Figures and not find a way to at least start a small representative collection ,no matter what manufacture you are currently collecting . All the best Gebhard
Well, yes. But they look more like this now....
All you Russian front collectors must be over the moon for these. I think this is their most impressive set of foot soldiers to date.Hopefully the pre-order will start soon for these babies , Ive been saving space for these guys for awhile now . Going by this Picture they will be well worth the wait. Gebhard
I was hoping to have seen the pre-ordering close-up pictures on the website by now. The new American Revolution range has center stage for the moment; hopefully the Russian Infantry individual photos will be coming shortly. From what I have seen so far these are indeed outstanding figures. Hurrah, more Russians.
According to another thread, from a German source, some Brunskwick Infantry will share the release at the same time, late April.

Hi Guys
IS THERE ANYONE IN AUSTRALIA THAT SELLS THESE GREAT FIGURES ??????
Hi
Thanks for that Guy - but I have been on already and of course no dealers in Australia - I have heard that it is too costly to sell to us down under. I thought there were dealers in Paris that sold them so why go direct to the US?
