Has anyone tracked the patterns of how K&C launches new figures (or is there no pattern)? For example, New Battle of the Bulge figures will typically launch with the December Dispatch, Market Garden with the September Dispatch, D Day in June, etc.?
Dispatches should be out in a week...which series' will be mentioned? (1 Viewer)

- Start date
Usually November sees the start of the release the year's Bulge figures - seems to vary from year to year whether Germans or Americans come first! I suppose November should see the announcement of the annual "Christmas " figure. Hopefully, somewhere in the pipeline is the NW Europe version of the Daimler Armoured Car released in 8th Army markings earlier this year.
Think it will be Battle of the Bulge, lets hope for some more American armour or anti tank gun! while I hope for German attackers, but it is too much to hope for a building or damaged vehicles.
One thing I would not want is some battle of the Bulge film tie in's.
I don't know - a model of the German panzer commander Hessler, as played by Robert Shaw, would be rather nice! However, a King Tiger model ( the real one, not a M-47) would be most welcome.

Over due for LOJ figures, last one's the Red Romans were Sept 2014 (normally one release each year). There are 13 figures in the ECW that are currently in the wings, so a fair chance some will appear. Robin Hood needs to get established, expect some soon. Waiting for the MG late Oct early Nov that have already been announced. Could be a big expense for Nov{eek3}, Robin.

Oh yes, the 3 sets of Japanese deck crew are due also. Yep has the potential for a big big month, justified as early Christmas presents^&grin. Robin.

It appears the Singaphore show included the November releases on a flyer. So order in for Life of Jesus, Pike & Musket and Japanese flight deck, all very nice. Robin.
Great seeing SGT 'Chip' Saunders and SGT Frank Rock sculpted! COL Sink and the other DD sculpt appear to be homages to CPT Dale Dye, who spoke at the most recent San Antonio TSS. There's another Hollywood connection that's been foreshadowed, but apparently its release is still close hold.
The 'Jackson' TD will be a welcome addition to the display alongside the previous M10 and Hellcat TD's. The AT gun in the BBA range will be nice, too!
The Singapore guys mentioned a Corsair being a project in the works, which I'm sure will be nice, but not my cup o'tea. I've advocated for a Bell P-39 Airacobra (US and/or Russian lend-lease), but its not a popular suggestion (sentimental for me as my Grandfather built them during the war). Its interesting seeing a 'pivot to the Pacific' by the TS manufacturers... there must be an unsatisfied demand out in those markets...
...And when I see the Dragon Boats, it sets me to thinking about sculpting the assault boats that the 82nd Airborne Division's 504th PIR used to take Nijmegen Bridge during Market Garden (and yet another Hollywood connection).
