Thanks. I think K&C fit this definition that is found within your link:

a family, team, etc., that is very powerful or successful for a long period of time

Be my guest.

The Walton family I would categorize within that definition in the short term. Maybe a few others.

The House of Rothschild for example. From the 1760's and during the 19th century, when it was at its height,
the Rothschild family is believed to have possessed by far the largest private fortune in the world as well as by
far the largest fortune in modern world history

The Krupp family, a prominent 400-year-old German dynasty.

A couple just for starters..........very powerful.....successful for a long period of time.

They changed World History and influenced millions. All the time I was at Sanford I don't recall any
Professor referencing a toy manufacturer in that context.

Thanks.

I believe the article is referencing toy soldiers, thus in the context of that realm K&C would be considered a dynasty.

At Stanford the only time I heard toys mentioned in any way, shape or form was a discussion about Charles Lazaurus.

If I had learnt anything at any University it would have been how to spell its name{sm4}
 
Lets get onto the 'REAL BUSINESS' and make some guesses about what goodies will be on offer on Monday when DISPATCHES December 2013 arrive !!!

With all the eyes being on the article on Edition 54 of Toy Soldier Collector, and the article about King and Country's 30th Anniversary, did anyone else see this picture on page 63 ???

TSC_54_63.jpg

He looks to me like a mounted German Officer wearing picklehaube without the cloth covering, in a light grey uniform with red collar and cuffs.

The sticker underneath appears to be hand written, with FW128 ??? so it may not be in production just yet, but who knows when this image was taken?

Maybe this only a lead into the centenary on The Great War next year, so I bet we will be seeing him and others in 2014.

The only certain is the KnC Sherman, and enough discussion has be posted on that vehicle already.

So any other bid for forthcoming figures / vehicles / aircraft next week ???

This is an interesting piece of evidence. I think 2014 will be full of WW I releases and this may well be one of them.
 
Think we are overdue for a new release of LOJ, so after the recent MG & ALH, this all the budget can handle. Hoping no Grey German stuff, otherwise none of the family will be getting any Christmas gifts except me.^&grin, Robin.

Maybe your family should PM Andy Robin!!!{sm4} Totally agree though, as much as I would like to see more grey Jerries (or any WW2 Jerries or Allies for that matter), I would be happy if there was little or no WW2 releases next month and more of the other series including the Great War (WW1) to keep certain blokes in Brissy and other parts of Oz and the world happy!{sm3}

Very good that you pointed this one out, John :salute::
Looks like a very fine addition to the WWI line.
And yeah, I do believe that a whole lot of WWI stuff will come up in the 100th anniversary years :wink2:
Cheers!

Yes, i'll second that in either grey or my favourite Winter, white washed grey! Please make it the only WW2 release next month though as my piggy bank is still AWOL and just like Robin, my family would appreciate some Chrissy presents!!!{sm4}
