Me too, we had a dead German sometime back in the Big Red 1 releases, but these will also be most welcome in Arnhem or D-Day dio's alike.

With all these AK release I would love to build up a dio with the Desert village buildings,watchtower and ME109, its a future building project;)

Great WWII releases but this time period is getting saturated for me.
I will pick up the AK items and hopefully Napoleonics and Crusaders will be offered in the near future.
 
This looks like a GREAT release for AK collectors (you lucky dogs) and I love the new desert greatcoat figures.
I really like the "Panzer Meyer" figures that are coming out-sometimes I get 'hung up' on the vehicles and don't take the time to appreciate the level of detail that these figures have reached.

SUPER DISPATCH!!!. :D If you're a collector of WWII and specifically the Axis powers then you've got to be elated today. K&C rule! Standouts for me include the wounded, killed and generally beaten up SS troopers. That polka dot camo is really well done, definitely picking some of those up. I remember back around 2002 I thought K&C's Normandy German releases were the pinnacle however in 2010 I think they have finally come around again. I'm really going to have to cull my existing SS collection to make room for these new and in my opinion best yet pieces. The Austing Tilley in Normandy is intriguing me as is the 250 series notion. Will be interesting to see where that heads considering Andy said it will contain obscure pieces ( right up my alley! :D). I don't collect AK, not that I don't like them but due to space and $ I've drawn the line there but that ME-109 looks incredible, I hope they do a Battle of Britain version and I'm in. The long coat AK men are truly unique, never seen anything like that before, same goes for the watchtower. As for the retirements not to much damage, may have to get the American typewriter guy. With the retirement of those Scottish Napoleonics me thinks we will likely seen another British unit in the near future. All in all another very exciting and great dispatch! Thanks K&C, well done! :cool::D
 
Have to agree with Rob,who got up early or stayed up all night to keep up with Hong Kong time, that this is a top ten dispatch. I think that desert kuby wagon looks top notch and is in dispatch terms better late then never. I still wonder what draws the collectors to German/Allied western theatre & north africa so much. K&C makes a lot of it because it obviously sells and they have to push tin. That part makes total sense to me. Everybody knows the war wasnt just fought in these two areas. I guess collectors identify with it the most, Americans with Normandy & Operation Torch in North Africa. The Brits with Dunkirk & North Africa. Ok, that might have been a bit of an unintentional slight there. What I'm really hoping to see from K&C, especially with the new 250 series is some good old US GI's in North Africa. Here's to hoping well see some this year.

The US soldiers may come out but, I think the series 250 will be for vehicles only.

Yes,

load of WW2, so I'm so glad I'm not into them, I can't afford all that new stuff.

What a pity that Napoleonics have been futher reduced....

but I suupose as a maker Andy & Co just have to listen to the customer, and that whats the majority of collectors want... so lucky you :)
