My sense from reading this week’s Rivet and reading between the lines is that this release will probably be or is preferred to be an all subscription release, i.e., you will have to or should purchase all the figures. It’s definitely easy for John in planning and probably makes sense. It’s not my preference but it isn’t the end of the world for me either.

I have to admit, I've never heard of the battle of Gandamak. JJD forces me to delve into my history lessons and learn. I love it! I am fascinated by this range of figures! I'm all in if there are plans afoot to introduce Afghan tribesmen. I believe you almost have too include them.

Check out "Flashman" by George MacDonald Fraser.

I did speak with John this week, but I didn't think to ask about pricing. As an assumption, I would think the figures will be in line with regular releases as far as price.
And yes, Tariffs are still in place, and shipping rates will probably go up due to gas prices. All factors in the cost of anything.

Thanks Julie, i estimated roughly what the price would be [UK import duties and VAT have been the same for years], from previous purchasing from John, know he is a reasonable and fare mind guy, so he would not potentially increase any prices higher than he would need to meet increased business costs.
