Did you get those from the eBay auction? If you did, you sniped me! Augh! I submitted my bid with 20 seconds to go, and since no one else was watching the auction formally, I...figured, that I was the only one. And then with 2 seconds left, in came the winning bid! Oh, I was so disappointed! But congratulations, either way. I won an auction at the same time for the Frontline German town gate backdrop piece ($19.99, by the way, despite Frontline pieces advertised as as "more valuable now, now that Frontline is out of business") so there was a bright spot on that otherwise bleak day.
I never bought any of the sets from the Parade Dress series, when they were first out on the market. I've picked up the ones I have on the second-hand market since then. I have some of the Mecklenburg Regiment, as well as some of the Austrian Hoch-und-Deutschmeister, and I'm always on the lookout for more. They're all a little more toy-like in their style--the "Chinese" style--than my Guard Corps, Stadden, I/R or Rose figures, but they still fit in well in my "Kaiser's Army" collection. I still owe the gang a photo of my collection, I haven't forgotten.
If only Gerard had done cavalry figures in that series, too!
Prost!
