June dispatches (3 Viewers)

And what to say about the new indians....{sm2} Really need sun glasses to see them, and their faces don' t remind me the native americans.

I do agree Duke. I like the P51 a great deal especially as its D Day version, but I have no USAAF figures right now, its very tempting though!.

That is the problem, though, isn't it? Everything is always so tempting. I have decided to concentrate on finishing the ALH to the temporary exclusion of all else but have purchased 'something else' instead on half of my subsequent visits to my TS shop.
 
The early war Germans are the best of the lot. I'll probably get 3 or 4 of them. I quite like the Arnhem figures as well, but you'll have to remove the "P" for me to buy them. What's up w/ the lack of weapon detail?
The P51 w/ D-day invasion stripes looks fantastic!
Once again the Indians would have interested me if they had not been "P" figures. I was planning on collecting Custer and his men, and I might still, but will wait and see if any non "P" Sioux are in the cards.

I'm sorry I started collecting the "Custer-Real West" series. The 7th cavalry figures are outstanding, at the old price, but the majority of the Indians are a big disappointment at the new price. Guess the soldiers in my diarama will out-number the Indians... Just my opinion...

I feel the same way. The inflated price on the Indians and the number of inaccuracies with the weaponry and attire is too much for me to continue with this series.

" ... We have both been.spoilt with more NapE's this month so I hope you can find some moe space in your cabinets for them?

I've arrived in S'pore tonight after a fine time in Malacca.

Cannot complain when K&C gives us more NAPs :) . Will be re-shuffling the shelf displays, to make NapE the new centre piece shelf.
Hope to share some photos when all the new NAPs are in & the displays are redone.

Absolutely love the Mamelukes and really cannot get enuf of them. {sm4}

Hope you & family have a wonderful time down south.

Jack , totally agree. Its been like that since I first discovered K&C all those years ago, so much choice so what to buy??? They still offer the widest choice for me as a collector and I still enjoy the decision process and adding to different areas of my collection here and there. These days I concentrate on the RAF/D Day and Arnhem so the decision is a tad easier:smile2::salute::

Once 2014 rolls around you will be adding a fourth series. The WW1 releases will be an embarrassment of riches!

I think I hit the last person who said that to me! It has a different tone when delivered in an Australian accent. Now what was that kid's name ...{sm4}

I thought the same a while back when the camel corps appeared (I'd just focus...) - but what with WWI Tanks and aircraft, and even the rare Skoda products of WWII, I have still to get those camels. And now we have the Mameluks...and maybe they are really NA rather than NE figures, but so what...I've got LOJ figures in my NE collection...and AE figures with my FW range...it's great that so many ranges cross over in their application...I can even picture a Spanish Dio with these fascinating subjects and a different TS producer. All-in-all, it's a great problem to tussle with. And a word of praise for customer service - my TS dealer has offered door-to-door service while I am confined to home. Thanks Brett.

Yes - those WW1 tanks are a must have! There is such a selection that I am tempted to just splurge big one week and buy everything on my 'to get list' but deep down I know that the list is not the problem. It would be just as long within a month anyway. Good to hear that you are getting door to door service from Brett - he really is the ultimate people person. Let's hope he checks that he is sending the right boxes ... or is he dropping in on the way home?

Dropping in on the way home - it's personal door-to-door! Bringing all three Skoda tanks to relieve my house-bound blues - now I need a camera with a bigger lens...:)

Plans for a dio in the short term?
 
Nice dispatch, surprised we didn't see more D-Day releases? ^&confuse First Country errr I mean King & Legion's release of "P" aboriginals and para's look really good. :wink2: The second drop of para's have a lot of poses that appeal to me. Standouts are the German drinking from his canteen ( I noticed regular release prices have crept up to mid-40's), crouching para with bren and Cain, really cool poses. Often underated are the new USAAF releases. That is one terrific line and if you don't have any pick a few up I don't think you'll be disappointed. The new pilots and P-51 are superb.
 
The greys are incredible. I can't wait for them and they are 'must haves'.
