More Bits ‘n’ Bobs VOLUME 40 (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi guys,

A couple of points and answers…

1. More “Three Kingdoms” figures... Yes definitely, we designed another 3 last week and they are being carved at this time.

2. “Preparing for KURSk!”… Great looking diorama, looks like you’re having lots of fun… as you should be… well done!

3. “I.D. Check”… Another fine little set up from Wayne… but I don’t see any Stuka???

4. “Sneak Peaks not for everyone?”… Well, as we all know, you can’t please all of the people all of the time… “Sneak Peeks” and “Prior Notification” are both a little bit of fun and a Practical way to let collectors know in advance what’s coming out so, in some cases, they can plan their collecting budgets accordingly and decide on what they want to buy (or not) and when they get it… No more, no less.
I think virtually all companies do it and I believe most collectors enjoy it!

5. “Kettenkraftrad at original price”… again, well done, seek and ye shall find… patience has its virtues and rewards.

6. “Dragon Wagon Conversion”… Outstanding…

7. “Disarmed Horse Soldier”… Once more, very well executed and adds to the scene. And that’s that for the moment… Now, it’s back to the salt-mines! Best wishes and happy collecting.

I enjoy the sneak peeks myself, gives me a chance to plan purchases and prepare dio's, its always good to get surprises in Dispatches, but also a heads up now and again is most welcome.

I am a big believer in "Sneak Peaks" - it helps those of us who collect certain ranges to keep inform on whats coming and like you said - "plan our purchases" - you have always been very kind with information and promotion for the Toy Soldier Collector.

Now - go make more NAPOLEONICS !! ^&grin

The Sneak Peaks are a great way to help collectors plan ahead to acquire items to their liking !!! {bravo}}

I don't mind the odd set dropped into a picture to add a bit of future excitement but, its just taking away some of the monthly anticipation that there used to be. Maybe, its an economic thing with all the problems we are having and its a marketing issue, as said, to allow collectors to see in to the crystal ball (so, to speak) and think, I will wait for that coming soon.

Does not mean I am moaning about it just voicing an opinion about it. Now, if you dropped a sneek peek of a sturmtiger or a Brumbar then I could plan for the future also!!!!

Thanks for your comments about the preparing for Kursk set: it's indeed a lot of fun to build these setups; the heart of the hobby for me!
I do enjoy the sneak peaks very much, and find them most useful; in fact, at least for me, they even enhance the anticipation regarding the next dispatches be released!
