OK Gebs, I know you don't like taking pics but once you have reviewed your new SS sets please post a few photos for us other guys, as I will be waiting a few weeks for mine I'm really anxious to set what other collectors think of them, even though it usually follows the trend that they look even better in person then the photos I'm sure will or hope will be the review...Sammy

Hi Sammy,
Yea I'm not much on taking photo's unless they are Vacation pics :wink2: but I'll tell ya what I will do when they arrive I will take a couple of pictures using a few Original Waffen SS Camo items from my personal collection as back drops just to highlight the patterns and colors .. regards Gebhard

It is called Gettysburg Toy Soldier. Located in of course Gettysburg He said he has had guys pick up entire regiments of FL or the entire Artillery piece and crew. During the 150th. He sold so much FL he had to put in a special order to refill. Although he was crazy busy. He is a good guy. Very nice. And you are right. I am sure I will pick up some of the Waffen SS. But I still like those Stalingrad Germans too!

Sounds like a really nice shop, do you have a link for it?? I am in the works for planning a return trip (possible) this Fall back East to Virginia and if I do my sister and I want to go to Gettysburg, and picking up some First Legion troops would just be the icing on the cake...Sammy

Would love to see some photos of your new gun Gebhard

Wow, that's great the hear ! I was concerned it would have an 'airsoft feel' to it. MP40...yikes !

Oh yeah, the figures, awesome looking to say the least. I'm still working on the 'Stalingrad' range, but these guys will be going on my wish list.

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the delay in posting some shots, it comes in a very cool crate made by the Amish even has a tag that says so:wink2:. I had some time today and was able to try it out at the range and was pretty impressed... very cool. Its only a 22 but for the price of a real one its worth the compromise. Anyway my Waffen SS figures arrive tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to checking them out the Sniper with Scoped STG 44 looks super cool.. hey anyone have a ZF41 or ZF4 for sale :wink2:. regards Gebhard

Hi Sammy,
I usually prefer something with a little more power but with the prices of ammo going up up up I have been shooting 22's a lot more as of late. It shoots pretty nice and was very accurate, the thing that stands out is the weight it is almost exactly like an original because like others I thought it would feel like a toy. Here is a link should be no trouble for you to get one where you live http://www.americantactical.us/3109/detail.html and I say go for it, a fun gun and like I said with the Originals bringing like 50Grand well ya know . Today is the Day my figures come, I'm on the road to Gettysburg for lunch with some friends so it will be late before I can get a look at em when home again. Will try and post some photo's with the Original Camo tomorrow after the Bayern vs Barca Game .. Best Gebhard

Nice looking mp44 Gebhard, bet you can't wait to get on the range

Nice looking mp44 Gebhard, bet you can't wait to get on the range

Hallo,
I had some time to go to the range on Monday and it shot very well very I was very impressed with the performance, if you ever make it to may little part of the planet well take it to the range and you can try it out {bravo}}. Its a cool piece and we both know what a real one brings so its a compromise I can live with. Next year they will do an MP40 which I plan on getting as well. I received my new Waffen SS figures from FL yesterday and I think they are very very nice, with first impression the Camo is the best I have seen on any factory figure and the equipment looks very nice as well. Will have more time to look at them and post some pictures later today I'm gearing up for the Bayern vs Barca Game in 40min. best Gebhard

Thanks for posting the pictures of some of the new Waffen SS figures. The overall quality of the figures is amazing and they are in a class all their own! I am looking forward to future Battle of Normandy releases from Matt and the First Legion team. Hail First Legion!!!

I'd like to have half of that money they spent for Ammo ^&grin. I'd also bet one in five are ATF agents {eek3}. cool stuff .. regards Gebhard

Hi Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my post and pictures :salute:: I have been collecting Militaria since childhood with being given things family members wore during the War or brought back. It has grown and expanded to an addiction like all our Hobbies :redface2:. Anyway these figures are really nice and as a collector of the real thing its amazing to see the detail First Legion have achieved. For me that's one of the things that draws me to collect First Legion, the Devils in the details and they really try to get it right down to the hobnails and heel plates on the boots and the buckles on the gaiters not to mention the color's and patterns of the cammo . I would highly recommend these as wonderful additions to any serious WWII collection. regards Gebhard
