Perfectly understandable.Was just looking at these good ol boys again and have decided I can no longer totally stay away from this range.
So far I have been able to resist. Mosby would change that, as would Marion for the AWI. Hopefully for my financial integrity, both are some time after my goals for my NAP collection are more complete.I used to think the same.... "Thankful that they didnt do any range that I collected" Then FL came out with the AWI... bought a few figures and was hooked. I never had any interest in Naps other than one of my favorite shows and book series was "Sharpe's ...." Now I am consumed by the Nap War with FL figures leading the way...This batch of figures just keeps proving my point- FL is hands down the most exciting company in the industry today............
........too bad they don't do any range I collect
Well done FL!!
I am a rather big Sharpe fan as well.
Just wait until they come out with the "chosen lads".
Perfectly understandable.
after countless visits to look at the figures of the 55th the figures ACW014 ACW016 ACW019 ACW020 are to me standouts the facial expressions and the look of determination too the task at hand are in very appealing . ... But there is no chance of that maybe on one of the upcoming lines Best Regards Gebhard
Well I am not sure it is less expensive given how I fill the ranks of those units.Hi Bill,
Yea i caved
As we have very different goals when it comes to our collecting of the FL Napoleonic line , I am becoming more and more envious of your single mindedness in collecting only the units that can be used in your very nice Peninsula display, it would sure be a lot less expensive for me if I could do something similar
Sooner or later you'll crack Mate
As you well know, even small squares, lines and columns can quickly add up.
Well I am not sure it is less expensive given how I fill the ranks of those units.
There is no doubt the temptation from the others is very high indeed. Frankly I love the Prussian and Russian infantry and have to keep them out of my focus when I see George at the few shows I am able to attend. Someday I expect some will end up jumping into my bag and then I will be truly done.
Best regards from the done
I quite agree with your opinion, as I have said before. Probably I am already done as well but my wife is already starting to respond with the "How many of those do you need" comment.Mate You have a very good eye ,
I have the Prussians and the Russians and IMO they are among the finest Napoleonic figures ever produced and being since they fought side by side at most of the Battles i have a Great interest in ...I'm as they say happier then a pig in you know what
I'm sure Mr George would love to help you put some in your bag next time you run into him

Just for comparison and maybe I'll start a new thread on this but do you collect just one of each or multlples for arrangements into formations?
With all the clothes she buys I'm still pretty safe I think and as you may have noticed I have several request No worries I have plenty of time... now money is another concern . But hey like they say Rome wasn't built in a day I'm just enjoying the ride 
Little guys! If by that you mean accurately and proportionally sculpted with delicately fine detailing, then you are absolutely correct.
As for the comment comparing them to Britains and value, well, Britains make a nice toy soldier at a very attractive price point. They're W. Britains after all, possibly the most recognized name in toy soldiers in the world. However, based on the simple catalog shots below, it seems pretty evident to us where the extra cost comes from. Whether or not the added sculptural detail and painting quality is worth the extra cost is up to the individual collector. Our figures are not inexpensive relative to toy soldier makers, but they are inexpensive relative to high end russian figures which is typically a better comparison for them. Really, it all depends on what each collector is used to and what they want in their collection. There are no wrong choices, only personal preferences!
Please note these are not to scale, just crops of catalog images!
And, for what it's worth, Alby is right - there has never been a better time for Australian collectors to buy figures from the USA, be them First Legion or others. Of course, for you Alby, they'd only be $55 AUD or thereabouts.
Rob, have fun in London. I'll be curious to hear what you think of the figures when you see them in London.
Best,
Matt
