It's like having Christmas every month. Ron

Has there ever been a monthly release without featuring any new German figures?

 

[Obee]

Its never meant to p*** anybody off and apologies if it does.:redface2:
Rob

Rob,

it sure doesn't offend me..... I love reading what the guys are punting on.....

But this month, I've just got a feeling, going on the comments that Andy posted with the April Dispatches, about the production hassels, so I thought it could be a good way of taking a breath, slowing down and then clear some stock ( more retirements) before new releases when the production staff get back into gear.

I think it could be a few months of 'lean pickings', BUT as long as the standard doesn't drop, I'm sure we will be very happy collectors, whatever our era of collecting is.

Roll on next week, May 2nd isn't it ????

Its an interesting idea John, if the Bowsers are announced next week thats quite a chunk of Dispatches in itself isn't it. Monday would be a good bet unless its a holiday, or maybe Andy may surprise us this Friday?. Hope not as I'm at the Royal wedding that day, doing a gig at Westminster Abbey. Thought I might kick off with Rocking All over the World, you know, get em all up and head banging:wink2:

does anyone know if Andy does the dispatches himself ???? surely even if his staff are off they could be done on the first of the month Chinese holiday or not????? they are done from a computer which, can be done anywhere and easily

Oh sure, as there were times when dispatches weren't monthly. Still, I do seem to recall once or twice- twice might be pushing it- over the last couple years that has happened.

Mitch, I believe Andy writes them of course, but I don't think it's ever been set in stone that it has to come out on the very first day of each month, they often do but sometimes a couple of days later. Time goes very quickly doesn't it, hard to believe we are already talking of the fifth dispatch of the year.{eek3}

Have a feeling this will be a good one!

[WWii addict]

Most likely some new sets in D-day and Arhem. Maybe Paratroopers for D-day?:rolleyes2:

 

[Rob]

Does anyone else hold off on placing an order in the run up to Dispatches, just in case something comes along and they change their mind?

Well Neil, if we are getting the Bowsers this month it would be a big ask to hope for the Typhoon as well, but then again K&C are really good at springing surprises on us so nothing is impossible!:smile2::wink2:

I don't mind if they are in different months myself, spread the cost a little^&cool

You guys are so lucky, no AWI releases to look forward to...

Rob

I certainly do, Rob. And the likely increase in the number of retirements make holding off on purchases until dispatches even more of a necessity for me.

I'm thinking of purchasing a number of things - the AK Panzer III, the Grant, the Normandy Village piece, maybe even some of the Italian releases, to name a few. No way I would buy all that in one month, but I defintiely have a "to buy list"

If, say, a Typhoon (or even better, a Stuka) comes out, I will probably hold off on other things since warbirds have become a priority for me (and they sell out faster that AFVs, it appears).

Retirements throw a monkey wrench in things...if there's something on my list I see retiring it will move ahead of the pack.

 

[Rob]

I'm in the same boat Mark, I really don't want to miss the church ruin either as I have a dio in mind for , it's all about choices now , but it does help narrow your collecting plan.

Rob

But what if this is the month that another Normandy building is dispatched - would you still want the church?

Good question! But yes, I like the sound of the dio idea that's bouncing around in my head it's just getting round to buying it.
