Frontline's New Sets in Chicago (1 Viewer)

[ucla1967]

I did not take my camera with me to Chicago, so I am showing photos of their new offerings in Chicago that I bought. Although I bought 16 new sets, there were three German trench mortars plus some French & Indian War cannoes and Indians that I did not buy.

Photo one: Three set of French & Indian War French Marines. IFMW.1 - 3 Firing & Loading, IFMW.2 - Officer & Drummer, and IFMW.3 - Standard Bearer & NCO.

Photo two: Close-up of French Marine's Flag.

Photo three: FGG.1 French & Indian War French 4 Pounder Artillery set (This set retails for $99).

Photo four: BGG.1 French & Indian War British 6 pounder Artillery set.

Here are two photos of Frontline's new WWI German Trench Mortar set, WMG.2 - German 76mm Trench Mortar being towed. There are ropes that attach to the mortar which the three figures are pulling, but are not shown. There is a larger caliber towed trench mortar set (it was sold out), plus the same two trench mortars being fired.

Frontline re-introduced some of the Uhlans from the West Coaster that did not have gas masks on the horses, plus a couple of others to bring the total to six sets. The flag bearer does not have a horse gask mask, but I bought it anyway. The sets are GGW.4 - Officer standing reading a map and GGW.5 - Uhlan dismounted; GGW.1, 2, 3, and 5 - Mounted Uhlans, type 1, type 2, officer with sword, and flag bearer, respectively.

Finally, Frontline introduced two of the four Zulu War wagon sets they are adding to the line. Each has four figures with the wagon and retail for $108. Two wagons were prototypes and not yet available for sale --- a wagon being tipped over and a wagon with mealy bags being unloaded.

Thank you Mike for taking the time photographing the two new Zulus Sets along with the others you acquired at the show. Great job with the photos and once again thanks for sharing them.....The Lt.

That German flagbearer looks really cool. I've seen the earlier Uhlan releases in person and they're excellently done.

The Uhlan flag bearer is awesome, that is why I bought him even though his horse does not have a gas mask. I also like the French Marine flag---it is beautiful.

I just received my Fedex ground return shipment from Chicago. I had packed away all the price lists, so thought I would pass along the retail prices. The WWI German Uhlans are $62 each except for the standard bearer which is $77. The WWI German trench mortar sets are $110 (the larger caliber sets have 245mm mortars). The French & Indian War canoes are $99 and include three Indian figures. There is also set IWC.5 which has three Indians returning from a hunting trip for $66. The F&I War French Marines are $66 for the firing & loading and officer with colours & NCO sets; the officer & drummer set is $44. New at the Chicago Show, which I forgot to mention, are four sets of F&I War 42nd Regt. Black Watch Grenadiers to go along with the earlier nine sets of center company figures. The four figure Grenadier sets are $88. BTW, all the F&I War figures appear to be 1:30 scale and should go well with the John Jenkins figures.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Not all of the new sets are on Frontline's website yet.

The new F&I war figures look great - I've recently bought a couple of sets of the 42nd highlanders (IBW.1 and IBGW.1) and they do go well with the John Jenkins figures, albeit the FL look like they've just come back from holiday as they look v tanned compared to the JJ figures.

Does any one know of any FL suppliers in the UK? I've tried both of the suppliers listed on their website but either they don't reply to my emails or their website isn't working properly (Personal gripe, the internet is a sales outlet, I wish people would realise that & keep things up to date (IMHO).

Will be interesting comparing the FL British artillery crew with JJs version.

Those horses from Frontline are much better than the past. Hopefully they will redo some of their other pieces with the new horses.

On some of those horses it would not have been a big loss

I ended up talking to Gerard for half an hour or better on Saturday and they were already packing up to go downstairs. You should have seen his WWI German trench.

You'll get to see it again at the West Coaster.

Excellent sets, especially the one with troops unloading mealie bags.

 

[The Lt.]

Frontline's done an excellent job with both the wagons and their new figures the detailing on both are extremly well done. Here's my photos of the first two wagon sets.....The Lt.

 

[kilted vampire]

I really like the figure on the left. Really crisp!

 

[The Lt.]

My Lord, the figures in both sets are very well done and the wagons consider vechiles can't be beat for the $$$$$$ and I'd match them against any transport piece done today four wheeled or tracked......The Lt.
