Intelligence *****sment of new K&C Market-Garden sets (1 Viewer)

[Arnhemjim]

Without the luxury of actually being at the West Coaster today I would still like to refine my prediction of the additions to the King & Country Market-Garden Series. Understanding is that they will allegedly be on display today at the show, and will be released for sale in April 2010. Best intelligence projection based on a series of parameters, including existing major components, as well as marketing and production considerations, would have to be (95% confidence level):

Paratroopers descending (same as US Paratroopers in D-Day sets DD119, 122 and 123) Very logical, same chutes, just hook on British Paratroopers
Paratrooper just landed, pulling in his chute
Opening a CLE Container or Wicker Pannier
3in MK II Mortar with crew (Classic photograph with 3 man crew) I know already done as Arnhem ’44 Series (AN 008), but using the correct scale mortar from the 8th Army SAS set EA022
75mm M1A1 Pack Howitzer with crew (Again already done in Arnhem ’44 Series AN 004), but using the correct scale pack howitzer from the Battle of the Bulge set BBA09
LCOL John Frost, CO, 2 Para Bn (Again already done as Arnhem ’44 Series (AN014)

Will be curious to see how accurate these predictions are.

It's always interesting for me to hear reports from the Westcoaster, as I am going to see the new items the following week at the Symposium. Andy rarely disappoints - there are always some wonderful surprises at the Westcoaster, just like at the OTSN and the London Shows.

Yes its an excellent treble coming up for Arnhem fans.Westcoaster,Dispatches and the Symposium should give us all a chance to see the much anticipated 3rd wave of Arnhem releases.

I have been trying to chase this Down, Since last summer. and was about to get into it, But--- Suddenly The " MG002 "was gone(theres always that one piece, that has to start it. and It has to be great looking). And The MG02 was it for The Market Garden Series.
And Finally I FOUND IT, almost two weeks ago. So New releases. Keep it coming. you have another series collector here!

I would offer to take photos but I'm sure Steven and Carlos will do a very good job.

These are some great final sets coming out.

Yes, too bad Napoleonics are going away; they're mostly rubbish anyway
