Quiet month for me.........that's not a complaint I'm happy about that. Congrats to
8th Army and
LAH collectors, its your month! None of the new releases are areas I collect. It'll enable me to pick up many "old stock" pieces earmarked for price increases in 2011!

The standout is the Grant, nice piece, I like the camo and markings a lot. I've got an original camo FOV version and although its nice it can't compare to this baby. The Legionnaires are a neat surprise and look great. The LAH pieces have some really "out of the box" poses and really highlight K&C's creativity such a the drunks and poster guys (the Luftwaffe guy with the model airplanes is also clever). The
LAH series has had so many releases and is so deep I guess K&C can start doing these very unique situations. I hope someday that kind of depth will exist in some of my favourite areas like MG, D-Day etc.
I'm really surprised by the lack of retirements.

With all the new releases the retirements are not keeping up and there aren't many anymore on K&C's website. Perhaps they are waiting for their dealers to move out all the old stock before retiring more product. Those mounting Confederates look really cool and it seems to me they haven't been out very long. Can't imagine its because they weren't popular.
These monthly dispatches are so great, I really like how K&C does this. Here's looking forward to the new year and more amazing releases.
