Great "little" scene. I cannot wait to get those Snow-shoe sets. I have been indecisive to this point, though find myself increasingly drawn to just about all of JJ's offerings. Thanks for sharing.

These are terrific figures. They are even more impressive in person than in the photos. Don't wait too long to decide since these are all limitied edtions of 500/set. The Christmas set sold out already. It was only 300--but you might be able to find it at one of JJ's dealers. See the list on his website
http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/dealerlist.htm. If you like the French & Indian War these are superb examples to collect.

Thanks for the message of urgency. I am trying to figure out how to prioritize the Monogahela, Quebec and now Snowshoes items I'd like to acquire. I have a pretty decent source for these and agree they look absolutely gorgeous in person. I just picked up BM07 and BM08 yesterday and will hopefully get BM09 and some of the Frasers soon. After that I'll have to decide whats getting more scarce, the General Wolfe set etc...or the earlier Snowshoes sets. Do you have a sense of what additional offerings might be forthcoming in the Snowshoes series?

Dave the BoSS series is said to be 34 figures total + the Xmas release. 17 figures have been released and were those shown in Chicago. So no one knows what the next 17 are.

Some of the Monogahela series is sold out. The series is said to be ending shortly after the first of the year.

I think I have a complete list here --- indicates sold out.

Thanks Donnie, that helps me put things in a bit better perspective. The 1 retired set from BM series that I am hoping to find is BM06, though I won't pay a ton for it. There is one on Ebay right now for @$165...?

Really appreciate the good information.

Dave,

If it was me I would start picking up the following first of John's sets. Depending on which series you are interested in. But if you are like the rest of us you will want all of them.

Here is the disclaimer (The below are my opinion and my pricing and are not meant to be the be all or end all. If you can get a BM-01 for retail let me know I will have 100 of them. I supply the below as information and to help fellow collectors and as my opinion what it is worth).

BM-01 to 03 if you can get any. (current pricing $200 to $300+)

FM-01 & 02 if you can get any. ($200 to $250+)

FM-03 & 04 only a couple out there, going for $100 to $200+.

FM-05 which is also retired from John but still available from a couple of dealers for $50.

BM-06 the one eBay is a good price at $165 and I would be very surprised if it does not go for more than that. ($200+)

BM-07, 08 & 09 which are also retired from John but still available from a couple of dealers. But drying up quickly at retail prices. Grab what you want now or they will be gone. BM-07 first.

BM-04 which is also retired from John but still available from dealers for $69.

BM-05 will be the next to go retired.

BA-01 last time I spoke to John going to go retired early 2008.

That's the BM's & FM's.

My next pick would be the Snowshoes sets. SBX-01 gone already but a couple out there.

Next depends on what production numbers the USCH sets come out in, if 500 sets or under I think you would be smart to grab some. If 750+ which is likely you have some time.

QHL's and VM's next at 500 sets each should be next to go.

QB's and QF's next at 750 set will take a little longer.

WI's at 1000 sets and CAN's at 750 set last.

But than again it is only the 2 Jan 2008 and I have already been wrong this year.

Aussie Monty

Happy New Year
