K&C Crusaders and Saracens (1 Viewer)

[Spitfrnd]

I noticed from the latest dispatch that the MK002, MK005, MK015, MK017, MK021, MK022 and MK032 from the “CRUSADERS & SARACENS” are being retired.

I likely missed something here but is there a proposed replacement or addition to the Crusader and Saracen line or is it being phased out? If there is to be a replacement or additions will it(they) be compatible with the existing line. Just trying to plan some purchases.

Good post I better make sure if I want multiples of these. I would hope this means a Crusader release soon!

Thanks

So returning to my main question, is there a proposed replacement or addition to the Crusader and Saracen line, is it being phased out or will there just be the usual additions and retirements going forward?

 

[jazzeum]

I am sure there are proposed additions to the line. K & C wouldn't introduce a line like this and then abandon it. In looking at the old dispatches, the line was first introduced in late 2006, then further additions were made in November 2007 so I would expect that trend to continue this year.

Ah, thanks that is helpful. I must of dreamed some post about a replacement but if it is that new that would seem very unlikely. Time to reserve some of these I think.

 

[chiefs70]

The first K&C figure I purchased was MK011 and I was hooked. If they were to abandon the Crusades line - which I most seriously doubt - I might ditch them altogether in protest!

It seems to be a popular line - and the finest K&C line in my possession, I don't own any of the Crimean line due to "choices must be made" reasons. I am confident we'll see more soon.

Hi Guys,

Fear not, this series is one of K&C’s most sought after and has been a huge success. IT WILL NOT BE ABANDONED! In fact Andy just approved the sculpts of a whole new batch of Crusaders & Saracens for release later in the year. Set your minds at ease.

Happy Collecting!

I like to hear that something other than WWars pays the bills cant wait for future releases. Thanks!

Thanks much, that is good news; mind at ease now.

I think Preatorian is referring to the upcomming Crusader Tank in desert and NW Euorope cammo.

 

[damian]

Also a post war Saracen armored car

Yawn..... Is there not a WWII thread for you be on? Must be WWII humor, I dont get it?

 

[jazzeum]

Now, now, Joel. What Damian is referring to is the Crusader, a tank used in the Desert War, which many of us would like to see made.

OK fair enough.....just seems like some people like to hijack threads! Not very nice.

 

[damian]

Well all I can say is
Here are some of my crusaders.
I look forward to seeing yours

Apologies to apachejol but couldn't hold the thought

Would be cool (got to drive one for a day in Australia), I know it would probably be distasteful, insensitive, politically incorrect , and all the other 101 reasons you wouldn't do a range like that, but a Northern Ireland range would be interesting, fortified border vechicle checkpoints and observation towers, landrovers, saracens, soldiers in cammo patrolling, police with bullet proof jackets and automatics, paramilitaries with balaclavas and uzi's Did see one toy soldier company do the RUC landrovers. Never going to happen I know
