Not ONLY Price's Increasing but Figure's are..... (1 Viewer)

[johngambale]

The K&C Figure's are Going up in Price's, and the Figure's are looking /getting SMALLER! Such as! AK039-SL Desert Tank Figure's SMALLER than Previous! Also, I mentioned ARNHEM 6-Pounder Gun wasn't made too well, and the Figure's mannig the Gun Terribly SMALL! What's Happening! We're NOT Getting the( SIZE ) Quality as in the PAST? I Hope the ARMOR, will Not get Downsized! If this Happen's , then I think we should go into the 1/25th Scale Size, just Like TAMIYA's Old Metal Figure's! CIAO!

Wow, Andy, must be something in the air (or the water), you've got to circle your wagons and keep an eye on the perimeter.

When JohnG complains, a guy who doesn't ask for much, maybe there is something to this.

It seems that figures that come with vehicles are a little smaller. The Panzer Meyer figures are really small as with the Tunesian Tiger. But, when you mix them up they fill in okay. If the colors were different then it would be a problem.

I think the figures at times maybe only be "slightly" smaller but within the acceptable range......hopefully they will not become so small that they do not match up well with prior releases......the quality has improved but I think has reached its' zenith......hopefully prices have peaked or will even retract a bit...... because in this economy discressionary spending will be carefully scrutinized.

Maybe Britains' will get a little larger and K&C will get a little smaller!

Figures WITH a vehicle seems to be a little smaller - so you do not see so clear that the vehicle size is a little too small (for 1/30); with some vehicles from 21Century and K/C (I mean the same vehicle) is no difference in model size...

Humans do come in different shapes and sizes.

You gotta be short to fit in some of those WWII tanks...

I`m a ex Armored officer,but I don`t think I could get one thigh into the hatch of a Stuart.

Vehicles also...

Each to their own on this one - for me the recent Arnhem artillery set is one of my favourites. Yes one of the guys looks a bit squat but not everyone is the same shape or size in real life so this kind of reflects that.

I agree with James on this one.The gun is one of my favourite items from the Arnhem range,i think its a great action set.Also looks very good along with JG's new garden bases.

Couldn't agree more Rob, the a/t gun is superb and it looks terrific with the JG bases, John has really outdone himself with those bases, they are wildly popular with my customers, it looks awesome all set up at a show with the building facade added to it.........

Hi mate,myself and James (Easy)were looking at these in Lonodn,it took all our restraint not to buy them all in one go.Superb dio bases and the gun and all the Paras look like they were made for them.

I hate to break this to you John but the two items you mention were released about a year ago !!! For somebody who is so keen to tell K&C what to create and release I am surprised you did not notice this earlier.

This was well before people started to become more price aware.

Compared to today's prices I think AK39 would be considered excellent value.

I suspect a case of Oliveritis.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Brett,

That's John just being John. I don't think he's happy unless he's complaining
