The bargains that K&C are putting out have drawn me back into collecting their wonderful figures again. I had drifted into collecting mainly John Jenkins, Thomas Gunn, Team Miniatures (more recently), First Legion and a few other manufacturers. I had given up on William Britain and only picked up the occasional K&C item having acquired many hundreds of figures from Andy's stables in the past.

But those special offers have tempted me once more and the latest additions are for my Battle of Britain and desert airfield displays which are sadly stored back in New Zealand. In a year or two I hope to be reunited with the collection and can haul back my increasing pile of figures and vehicles from Tasmania across the ditch. Then, after a few years, the whole kit and kaboodle will be shipped to England where blissful retirement awaits and hopefully a purpose built diorama room to display the 10,000 plus collection. Oh the chance to dream!

I also went for the Israeli tank - it is a beautiful item.

I have the Israeli Sherman but this tops it and makes a wonderful centrepiece to any Arab/Israeli War collection.

Don't hesitate, get it while you can.

Stay safe, look on the bright side of life and be kind to one another.

Hi Gary,
Many thanks for your kind words and support about our vehicles...You are one of many collectors out there who have taken advantage of our ‘Special Offers’ to pick up quite a few of our older releases to ‘refresh’ their collections while at the same time appreciating newer releases like our two BIG Centurions (Aussie & Israeli)...

Coming months will see more great new K&C fighting vehicles come to the fore...Watch out for them!
All the best,
Andy.
 
Well said, Gary, and I appreciate your pictures of some of these fantastic vehicles.
I've also enjoyed a number of K&C's sale items over the past year (or two) and always look forward to additions. Thank you Andy!
 
We completely agree. It's a chance to get great things you like for good-to-Wow discounts. Even better than the Collector's Bonus Gift Sets because one can pick-and-choose. It is often the last chance on items...
We haven't taken much advantage of it yet (just Red Knife- who is awesome- so far) but we hope this continues in the future. We are suckers for a sale. From what little I know, we are not the only ones.
Gary, you may have convinced us to grab the Aston Martin and RAF firetruck - unless the people who read this see what great deals they are and scoop them up before we get the chance - and the Centurion with the ingenious IDF is a masterpiece and possibly centerpiece of a fascinating conflict with relevance to modern warfare and History in Spades. And, well, we like it all. And these days, the less expensive the better. Sure we pay premiums for what we need for a particular scene or set but we are cutting back on buying in bulk at full price; we have to.
Best Wishes All & Stay Safe
Paddy for Pat Sr & me, who always like discounts so we don't have to sell anything we love.

I purchased the Humber and the Valentine of the 11th Armored Division plus the Stuart of the 7th...hope to add some more before they go away.
 
I have decided to dip into the Pike & Musket range with a couple of mounted figures. I didn't originally collect this tange due to large collection of Heritage and Alexander's Toy Soldiers which are a smaller size. But will get a few to make a vinaigrette.
