Back in the days before the wheel was invented i used to collect 1/6th scale figures.Now about three times a year a catalogue in the form of a magazine was released (Not sure by who actually may have been Modellers loft)that listed and had photos of all the 1/6th scale figures available from the major players in that hobby.With colour pics and brief details it was really good for reference and taking to the shows etc.I was just wondering if this would work for K&C products.It could be updated maybe a couple of times a year with new releases and cover all the ranges.It could be a sort of product catalogue accompaniment to The Collector.It would be great for home and away reference and as a magazine would hopefully be cheap enough to discard when it was updated.What do you reckon guys.

Great idea Rob
I suppose in a way the "leaflets" which show the current offerings ... which some dealers send out with an order , or which you can pick up in a bricks and mortar store kinda do that (see under "Collector" Magazines & Leaflets" section on the K&C site). But as you suggest Rob would be great to have something similar that included retired and current offerings, even if it was a one off with supplements added once a year At the moment the only complete catalogue I know of is Bill Sager site. Would be cool to have that in hardcopy But guess it woul d be more like a telephone directory than a leaflet. Maybe if it was done seperately for indivdual ranges it would work rather than all the ranges in one.

Thank you mate.And your idea of seperate magazines for seperate ranges is very good.I guess what i'd like to see is a happy medium between on the one hand the leaflets that only have a limited amount on them and the huge files i have at home that you need a crane to lift.Something like a magazine that you could take to a show and read a little about whats in front of you.And as you say even a once a year update would be helpful.
