The pricing isn't completely decided. But the set is totally a' la carte. The gun come with two figs and the carriages can be purchased or not as well as the SdkFz7.

We want to keep the cost down on the components and also let collectors dispense with items they don't want or need, or on the contrary add as much as they like. Our number one job is to keep items as reasonably priced as possible.

Cheers!

When do you expect a price for the wheel bases for the guns and the add on crews??

There really is no change in figure pricing. So add on figs are about 32.50 each and the carriages will be pretty nominal I'm thinking, 65.00 or so for the set of two.

Cheers!

Thanks thought the figures would be around that price but, could not think of what the wheel section would cost. Its IMO a good price for the whole package. Thanks for the reply

Excellent looking release from CS. I will be keen to hear what fellow collectors say about this piece when they get it. As for me its definitely on my (far too long) buy list.
 
Just so I understand, if you want the gun, 2 figures and the wheel set, you start at $230? How much of it is metal versus other material?

Exactly what I thought when I saw this wonderful piece at an unbelieveable price point in todays market. CS is leaving EVERYONE in the dust with this type of release at large dollars less than their competitors. I don't know how CS can do it when all we hear from others makers is the big boo-hoo about increasing costs. Can someone explain how CS is keeping prices so low? I mean, I bought the KC King Tiger many months ago at $225 (now $239, I think), now I have a CS KT on the way for $179. How does CS offer such a model at a far lesser price point than the KC price from months ago, much less comparing it to the new KC price? KC makes a fabulous product but they are far behind in the "bang for your buck" catagory. JMO. -- Al

I could not agree more...I have not collected CS yet.... but have pre-ordered the King Tiger...and this 88mm gun will be on my list as well......CS is definitely offering much desired pieces at very reasonable prices...Thank you Brian:)......I am only a bit concerned about relative size...I have heard that CS AFV's and figures are a bit larger than 1:30 scale and may be closer to 1:28....Can Anyone shed some light on the scale without getting into scale wars....Thank you
 
I don't find any issue with the sets I have even the early sets are fine. I think they are compatible and can easily be mix and matched should one wish to.

Each manufacturer has its own style and representation and as long as thats remembered then there is no problem if everyone thinks everything else should mirror their favorite manufacturer (if they have one) they will be dissapointed. I also don't think they are 1/28th scale there is little noticable difference (possibly bulkier) with TG and K&C IMO

I would not say to someone not to buy CS as their stuff in its own right is top quality

I cannot answer to the earlier CS releases that were a bit bigger than current releases. I DO have a CS Tiger I and two KC Tiger I's of recent make, and I can tell you that they match up very well in size. There is a tiny difference here or there but for all intents and purposes, they are the same size. Figures are different in style and are a tick bigger than KC and TG, but not so much that they can't be displayed together. The CS vehicles are just outstanding and I like their figure style, so at this point, CS is a very good deal. -- Al
 
Guys,
re my question about price and material. I want to compare apples to apples, when you buy ala carte, there is always a question about cost of parts vs whole. I want to be able to compare this model to figarti to K&C even though slightly different models. I just want to know what I am paying for. I think its a fair question and I understand that pricing is not finalized. I just am a bit more cautious before proclaiming a great buy, that's all.

Now, I will agree the KTiger pricing is pretty darn good.

I still think all manufacturers are nuts on over $30 per figure, that's just me.

Agreed, I've got the CS winter tiger and the latest KC winter tiger on my desk (big desk) and they 'line up' very well. I like 'em both, but there's no disputing the CS value-great detail, great value. Can't wait to see a pic of a winter version '88 !

if you are comparing the Manufacturer's, The Figarti 88 does not come with any figures But comes with the carrier (I believe), And that costs $250. plus., The KC 88 costs $199 plus $69 for the two gun crew,X2,Plus a Gun commander for $35 For a total of $370 plus (for a crew of 6).
The CS starts out at $165, Plus lets say the 3 crew sets us back at $105. For a total of $270. plus the carrier ( for a crew of 5). So in that account, The CS $270 is a great buy. Not unless you are talking FOV 88, Then you really are talking about Apples and Oranges.

Yup, that is what I was getting at. But, doesn't CS cost 165 plus 105 plus 65 (carrier), total 335? Or did I screw that up? Either way, I don't dispute the value, but I just am trying to figure out what the full price is, I think its closer across the board (figarti, cs and K&C) than first appearance, and that is FINE, no complaint, just was trying to figure it out. In a way, they are probably all similar by the time you outfit full crew.

All the Figarti 88,s come with figures
Winter had 4
ETG-006.jpg

Tropical had 4
RMG-003.jpg

and the new one has 3
ETG-014.jpg

And all there 88,s cost $269
so if the CS one is $165 with 2 figures and $65 for the carriage and at $32.50x3 for the add on crew = $327.50 is this correct or have i missed something............:confused:
Either way i will be buying one hopefully a AK version is being done..................:salute::
