(combined with a lousy dollar) have climbed in cost.

Yes, you have 'hit the nail on the head' with that comment.

Its not only a higher production cost, but the $US dropping that raises the cost. Recently the $AUS went high, so the $US was lower, good in OZ .... but now it dropping, so our cost is going up again {eek3}

Still I'm sure it won't deter the avid collector :tongue:

Well this month's dispatch seems a bit anticlimatic, we knew what we were going to get, no surprises really. Like the Aussie dollar the Canadian dollar is falling fast and that makes these pieces even more expensive than they already are with the rapid price increases we've endured lately, $40+ for a single figure....yikes. {eek3} No must haves for me but I'd like to pick up a few Greeks and the odd Bulge German. Definitely picking up the MG "captured" piece that surprisingly retired. I would have thought some of the older Operation Market Garden pieces would have gone to the happy hunting grounds first. Its all good as this is paving the way for a new airdrop!

Brad,
Regarding your comment

"The new Ludhiana Sikhs have only been released in matte, not gloss. I guess the others haven't done well or not well enough to merit a gloss issuance".

As a dealer I have never ordered a Gloss version of anything K&C and would only do so if had a pre order. At least Andy gave it a try but it would appear the gloss market is too small to make it worthwhile to offer two options of same figure.

On another subject I noted the marching HK Police figure. Note to Andy : Don't forget we need an expat officer to command the four so far{sm4}.

Regards
Brett

Obee, you are spot on: It won't deter me, it'll just slow me down a bit. These are great new releases.

It sure won't!^&grin:wink2: So many releases to catch up on and still two more dispatches this year^&cool. Nobody likes prices going up , of course not , but look at the variety, realism, and regularity of which we get releases from K&C, nobody else comes close , despite what some may want you to think!:wink2:

I think they may have been more popular had they really been gloss in the traditional sense than just varnished

Definitely i'll buy a "Andy" figure in HK Police uniform (i remember a good movie "Infernmal Affairs"about a HK policeman under cover and there is a wonderful training sequence..i think the "British" uniforms are the most stylish in the world!and it's an italian talking)..eh eh eh..i know i sound flattering but maybe for the 30th anniversary?It's just 2 years away...

Looks more like a Diefenthal than a Pieper

You are complaining ? We're even worse off in the Euro zone .
A figure that sells at $42 becomes automatically € 42. The value of € 42 = $ 55,86 at the current exchange rate
