Thank you Rob for taking the time to shoot and post the pics! So much great stuff to see; you must have been like a kid in a candy store. It sure looks like Figarti came out swinging today! All kinds of surprises there. The Figarti/Aeroart alliance is quite exciting and is sure to yield positive results. I don't see how it couldn't being that it's headed up by two of the best people in the business, Rick and Thor. Most of the new K&C d-day figures look very good (but we already knew that :tongue
. I'm intrigued by the FL Romans, but they sure don't look quite as colorful in these pics as they do on their website. That being said, they do look quite nice, and that's great that you got to see them in flesh and were able to share these very detailed images. They certainly appear to display very well. I'd love to have them all set up w/ an equal number of barbarians opposite them. Thanks again for your time and effort Rob. I hope you had a great time! Joe

Hi Joe,
My pleasure my friend, happy to help. You are quite right Joe, I could spend many thousands of pounds in half an hour in that place! So much wonderful product on show. This may cause debate and argument Joe but I think the Romans are possibly the best range FL have produced so far, they are stunning figures full of realism and action, I prefer them to FL's WW2 releases, and this is from a WW2 fan such as I !. Figarti's new ACW range (Marco Polo I should say) are so good that these will be hard to resist. I also think K&C's Greek range would look real good on Figarti's temple . Had a wonderful show Joe. Not only did I come away with all the retiring Big Red 1 figures and the K&C Church facade, but the very Generous Mr UK Reb brought along a gym bag stuffed to bursting with ACW figures, cavalry, cannons , trees etc. His generosity is very
much appreciated. And if that wasn't enough Alan ( Trooper) also gave me a stack of ' The Blue and the Gray' ACW magazines packed with articles for me, this was also very kind of him .
On top of all this Joe it was as usual a huge joy and a great laugh to see all the chaps in the bar , this has quickly become a highlight of the collecting hobby for me and going on the remarks the others as well. Very enjoyable to sit around and chat about the hobby, what we've just purchased etc in a friendly atmosphere over a few drinks, in fact after about three hours some of us got hungry and went out and found a cafe/bar for some much needed food!
Cheers Joe
