GREAT SCOOP Joe :salute:: Thanks for sharing, That Trebuchet looks over the top cool can't wait to see what Crusader collectors will do with that one. I know of at least one ol buddy of mine who will love to add these new Samurai to his Fantastic Cabinet display. Anyone else smell a newsletter :wink2: regards Gebhard

First Legion done it again. The design of Suwa Bonji Flag on the far right with the kneeling is dead accurate as well as
the Sonshi Flag on the left, a flag usually carried by foot soldier (ashigaru) when Takeda Shingen goes to battle. On the right hand,
next to a Samurai who is wearing a "arrow catcher" (Horo) is a flag for Takeda Katsuyori, son of Takeda Shingen. A Tsukaiban (messenger) kneeling
with a Centipede back banner reporting from the battle field of Nagashino to update Takeda Katsuyori. Looking forward in collecting this items. Hats off to you First Legion :salute:::salute::

Great to see someone who really knows the topic give the new releases the thumbs up :salute:: . I have never studied the period so I wouldn't know the difference:redface2:. I truly believe the more you know the details about uniforms and equipment from a specific period the more you can appreciate just how much work First Legion put into their products.. thanks for sharing your knowledge. regards Gebhard

The Trebuchet looks to be my first purchase from First legion. Considering in the ad that they say the trebuchet is actually own half the size as pictured; it should be a significant piece... It will be interesting to see what the price will be................

Oh snap ! Time to start selling blood to the plasma center to save up for the Trebuchet :smile2:

The new Samurai look very very nice.

Fantastic pieces.

Regarding the Takeda Samurais, I hope one day there will be a one off figure of Takeda Shingen. So for samurais fans who may want to alter their displays to other battles (kawanakajima etc).

Some very cool releases coming up. FL does a great job on ancients like the Samurai and Crusaders. I'm saving my pennies and hoping to slowly dabble more into these areas in the future. ^&cool

Love the Trebuchet. A definite add to my "artillery" collection. Will probably get one or two of the Samurai, but I am still waiting for Matt to give us a dismounted Samurai fighting with his Katana.

The new Samurais are very nice but I've seen FL prices have increased quite a bit since then :redface2:

 

[Mitch]

Apparently I heard they have increased them to keep up with other manufacturers!!!LOL

that's very possible though.....Joking aside looks like the price increased will force me to buy very few FL figures from now on.

As a side not, there are two very reasonably priced Aeroart Samurai that would go well with FL Samurai on eBay.

Has anyone heard any news on the Trebuchet release date and price? I think this might be second FL purchase after the brilliant tractor factory!
