Hi Andy,just wanted to say it was a real pleasure to meet you at the show on Saturday.It was nice to finally put a face to the man behind K&C!.Thanks very much for giving me the heads up on next years releases,The AK stuff looks great and i can't wait for the Panther you were telling me about.Thanks for taking the time to talk to me it was very helpful and has helped me plan my next years purchasing.After seeing the new AK stuff for 2006 i started buying from that line straight away(as i had only collected D-day and B.O.B up until then)And i was very lucky to purchase the fast retiring armoured car.

It was a very good show and well organised,poor Bob was run off his feet!.And once again whilst looking around all the tables and enjoying many of the displays, i still feel that K&C are well ahead of the opposition.Also listening to your speech in the evening at the IWM I now have a much better idea of how hard it is to fit in all the stuff people want you to release.Even though i was hoping for more Brit Para's next year, if we don't get them we still can't lose because all the up coming stuff sounds so good.

Once again thanks Andy and keep up the good work.

Hello Rob! I know you would want to keep a Secret Lid on the NEW AK Sets, soon to be released in January 2006; but maybe you could let us know what we could at least expect? Also, are ther any Paratroopers, German U.S. and British going to be made in 2006? Thanks, Take Care!

Hi John,

Yeah the new AK sets look very good.(Andy said Febuary for those)They include a new gun and crew,and an armoured car with crew and Rommel figure.I also think there was a set of AK officers.He did say there were lots of new Eighth army sets but did not go into details.Also later next year we get a panther with battle damage(Normandy).I don't think there are any paratroopers next year and he did not mention any more u.s troops.The British Paras that were talked about have been delayed because in September there will be lots of new German and Russian sets,hopefully the Brits will come at some point in the future.

Is it too early to get any more specifics on the "new German and Russian" sets? I assume these will be additions to the Berlin series.

I think Andy had previously mentioned that there might be British troops for Normandy in the summer.

Combat,

Actually Andy said Eastern front in regard to the Russian and German upcoming sets,he didn't say Berlin.Could be Stalingrad!

Hi Rob! Are we getting for the New AK sets, any Fighting Italians( BlackShirts); and an Italian Tank? I hope to see a NEW M-3 Grant Tank, and MKIII Crusader Tank, along with the NEW M-5 Honey, that Andy's making? HONOUR BOUND, has told me that, he's making the following N. Africa Sets: OPEL Truck, possible( MAULTIER CARGO TRUCK ), BEDFORD QL,Troop Transport Truck,and a SAS -CHEVY TRUCK "CWT-30"-LRDG!
