Forthcoming November Dispatches! (1 Viewer)

[Sentaapua]

The way I see it guys is that the monthly expectation is in itself a pleasant feeling, so only by K&C generating that to collectors on a regular monthly basis is already a great feat, and demands extraordinary planning and work from the manufacturer. I feel glad something like this exists! Obviously it is totally unreasonable to expect that once released, a dispatch will please everyone, but the truth is that over a period of time, all K&C collectors will be addressed. Those that never feel pleased may collect toy soldiers, but can't fall into the K&C collector category, because they will always see some kind of flaw, no matter how small or insignificant, and, bottom line, don't buy them, so they simply don't count as customers, and don't make any difference on the balance sheet... K&C's work in keeping up with creativity, production, quality and innovation on such a vast product range is IMHO simply admirable! {bravo}}

I totaly agree with you: if you are happy wuth your collection that's all that matters! Only Andy can answer to why he posted, but I'd risk saying that, like with many people, it's simply because he's obviously in this business for much more than only money, really loves what he does, so it's only human whishing to have your creations pleasing people, although you know that you can't please everyone, and every now and then needs a little heart opening.:rolleyes2::wink2:

Re: "November Dispatches"

Hi Guys,
Sorry if UK Subs questions why I “feel the need to post” now and then but like most other regular contributors to this forum. I also like to share my thoughts and comments on all kinds of subjects (especially K&C matters) with all of you guys.
Similarly I think he maybe a wee bit mistaken when he posts that K&C told him that we would not be making a FW190 “Dora”… If so that’s news to me!
One other little mystery for UK Subs if you please…Exactly what is the “news” about the Stuka… and why is it a shame?
I really think we’d all (me included) like to know…
In the meantime… have a great weekend… with best wishes and happy collecting to one and all.

I do recall the thread and topic Uk is talking about. when he asked Andy about a Dora he was told that the 190 had either not been released or, was about to and, that a Dora may not be coming.

It may be better now that Andy is posting and the stuka is again being mentioned for the owner of the firm that is going to release three to give a bit more detail on it if possible. It saves all the unecessary chit chat and, idle speculation that has gone on about what it will be etc etc

As for the manner and tone of comments I am sure we all welcome comments from manufacturers but, should comments be sarky or a shot across the bow they are, as anyone else is, on an open forum, target for the same retort in return. Just because they have products made for them to sell to collectors does not mean they have anymore right to make comments that others may find offensive crass or similar. We all log on and run the gauntlet

Now, is the sturmtiger and brumbar anywhere near the horizon before we are inundated with more horrid little Naps!!!!! (just kiddin!!)

Andy,

I think the news about the Stuka is what you allegedly told Panzer Ace recently in Texas, as reported by him in this Forum, that you would be making three different versions in metal. Based on that, we have all assumed this to be the case.

By your comment, you seem to be implying this might not be the case. Could you please confirm or deny. Thanks.

Hi Andy I'm sorry to say but you got the wrong end of the stick mate about the Stuka as I was just have a joke with Wayne as Capitolron always does about you not making any Market Garden stuff , as for the comment about you not making a new Fw 190 I was only posting what you told Northgate when he asked you the question in Oz this year , as about you posting I was just trying to make the point you could say that about anything in life some people will like Man Utd and some will hate them you just can't make everyone happy that all ,but if you did make a Fw 190-D you would make me happy. If you do look at my post 70 at the bottom of the page it does say joke

Aren't we due some French WW1 in fighting poses, mentioned a few months back? I'd like to think the Fokker DVII's and ground crew figures are soon but probably more likely in the new year. Maybe a few RAF sets too? A fire truck was talked about. Also, wouldn't it be nice if there was an RAF stretcher set to go with the ambulance.......

Probably way off the mark though but it's fun to speculate!

Hi Guys,
Just read this thread for the first time.

Arnhem Jim came up with the most important point which was about Lighthorse figures although he did forget
Lt Gen Harry Chauvel !! Oh, and General Allenby.

Jeeeez, There is no "alleged". I was there and spoke with the man in person. My ears work.

You're lucky PA, they are only accusing you of being on wine and cheese, when I spotted a pic of the AK tank riders that was then taken down, I was accused of being insane and there are still calls to have me sectioned!! (although that
may just be the wife!)^&grin:wink2:
