TG is asking what we would like to see next year:
let's give him a helping hand . Here is my list:
-more WWII troops but not in fighting or firing poses ( ej:at rest)
-Famous Pilots ( ej: Normandie - Niemen, Russian pilots with yak airplane )
-PzKfw 1A -Ambulance
-Kubelsitswagen ( polizei)
-extra equipment, guns,shells and ammo boxes
-Tank repairmen
-Field kitchen and food carriers ( German and Allied) maybe horses drawn
-US 4x4 truck Bantam
-German artillery tractors and munitionsschleppers
-Dingo armored car
-British troops
-Peiper Kampfgruppe ( famous photo at crossroads in Ardennes)
-Casualties
-Russian troops with Gaz cargo truck
-British Valentine tank
-Panzerspähwagen BA-64
etc .......
 
I think from the list russian late war would be a safe bet considering that other manufacturers are dipping their toes back in.

Some of the sets are now coming which, can be used in the earlier periods of the war. As TG seems to be innovative in poses and ideas I would have to ask again for things like nebelwerfers (I know many people interested in such things) they would also fit well with the two or three paint scheme releases.

I like the zulu range idea and think they would be good and, we all know this era is rather popular.

Really like the idea of commonwealth troops from the far east burma that area would be good some chindits with mules etc

Yep, Burma is the place
Chindits, Marauders, mules, I like it, stuff for some nice jungle dios ( would like to start right away- have the jungle vegetation all ready)
guy:D
 
Grey TIGER.
Grey 88.
Early war Germans (Poland,France)
Pioneer Halftrack.
Non-action stuff like Guy said,cleaning weapons,eating,cooking,sleeping.
 
more us airborne and some d-day rangers in casualty poses and running loaded up with gear.

Dingo armored car sound cool and a Comet tank, Hawker Tempest and British ETO figures
 
I would love to see some Pacific War sets such as Japanese soldiers, tanks, Marines are awsome but how about some U.S. "pacific" Army Troops. My grandfather fought with the U.S. Army 24th Infantry "Victory" division. He fought from the beginning at Pearl Harbor to the very end of the war. Purple heart, Bronze star, Philippine liberation medal, Presidential unit citation and Philippine Presidential unit citation. Lets honor some other branches also...{sm4}
 
I would love to see US airborne in non-fighting poses as well. Dday Ranger casualties would be so welcomed by many collectors, and these are best without bases. How about a paratrooper just landed and out of or exiting a shoot.

Good ideas
 
FJ's:
Assault Group Granite (Koch, Witzig, etc) receiving their Knight's Crosses from der Fuhrer...

ATW!
A Pathfinder team...
MG Gavin (sitting in the snow, overwhite top on, with M1, talking on the field phone)...
3/504 PIR troopers making the boat assault across the Waal river...

Para's:
1st Polish Parachute Brigade in dinghys to reinforce British 1st Airborne...

More Gebirgs...
US 1st Special Service Force...

Aussies at Tobruk...

I love the idea of Chindits/Marauders...
 
With all the inspiration I hope TG don't split the focus to wide. They are doing some very nice sets and doing a fair few ranges. some just starting ATW and DAK.

Slow and steady wins the race. I am sure plenty will be done in the coming years

A WC56 Command Car (plain livery, not Patton's and detachable canvas top) would be a great follow up from the MP truck recently released
