All Figarti items are released in limited lots of 100 in the U.S. and 60 more worldwide.

 

[jazzeum]

That's correct. I heard Rick mention that.

 

[sceic2]

Thank you Louis, I forgot the standard formula

P.S. Does that include the 1:30 LRD vehicle sets also? I don't know if they are limited releases.

 

[jazzeum]

Actually, that's an expansion. They were limited to 100 worldwide but it's been increased slightly. Clive had distribution rights for Europe.

 

[Col. Hesler]

Isn't all of Figarti's stuff limited edition?

 

[RWFigarti]

Hi Guys,

Louis and Brad are correct, 100 for the US and 60 for rest of the world. All of our items are in a sense limited edition because we simply don't go back and make more. Our Winter Panzer & V2 for example are all gone, meaning our dealers are out of them and except for the showroom samples we have in Shanghai, we're also completely shipped out. There will be cases where Figarti will make LESS quantities due to subject matter, price point or simply making items in our version of EXTREME LIMITED EDITIONS.

Thank you all for your support!

Hey Rick:
I am just amazed I am getting the Grant, Lee, M31, Opel Bliz Fuel Truck and the Storch and DAK soldiers through my dealer.

Any chance of making the M7 Priest (or Sexton)? Hsieh-hsieh

Bit of advertisement for treefrog I noticed the other day they have relisted the winter panzer and reloading the long tom for anybody who initially didn't go for it

 

[Rob]

Make that 59 European Grants

 

[Eazy]

Nope 58 Rob!

 

[Rob]

Nope 58 Rob!

I sense a forthcoming sharp drop in European numbers James!

 

[sv288]

Yeah its only 100 that are being made. But they are $300.00 supposebly.

Actually, in response to the concerns of collectors and dealers at the show about cost, Rick announced that the Grant and Lee would be reduced in price from $299 to $279.

 

[jazzeum]

It's actually 160 being made. I also believe that Rick was trying to give collectors a little break in these tough times. Although $20, in reality, is not that much, it sends a very good message and I thank him for that.

Brad et al, here is an early Figarti thread with the 'official' number of 160 produced, there was no mention of molds falling apart after 100 back then.

 

[jazzeum]

I do then stand corrected. However, although molds are not mentioned as the reason in this case, Rick has said on other occasions that the molds will produce only so much before there is a deterioration in quality.
