Oh Oh!. I pre-ordered all 4 of the pieces you introduced at London. Don't tell me you are planning new releases for Chicago too!

I think the K&C winter 88 sold for $1,200 on ebay a few years ago, which is probably a K&C/ebay record. I would be very surprised if this new 88 isn't one of the fast selling items Figarti has ever made.

What month is this released?

I've got a feeling we won't see this or the Firefly until August. Njja made some allusion to that in another thread.

The Figarti web site http://www.figarti.com/ says, "Late Summer".

I saw that, just wish I knew what their idea of late summer is. I guess it don't matter anyhow, I waited a week to order this thing and by the time I went to preorder it everyone seemed to be sold out already. If anyone knows of a place that it still can be preordered please let me know.

I think Brad is probably right here.But guys when you get the Firefly its worth the wait,when i walked into the show i had no idea i'd be coming home with the Tank i've been after for ages!.I'm sure it'll be the same for the 88mm,it looked fantastic at the show last month.

After a long search I finally found one and locked down a pre-order today. Phew that was a close one, thought I missed out on this beauty!

Very good. I thought they were 100% pre-ordered. But I'm sure one of the 6 Brits who bought them all up at the London show would have sold you one as used at a discount price.

You and me both, I was beginning to think it was a lost cause. If they come out with a Normandy version I will not be sitting around like I did for this one. I'll have my pre-order in within the 1st 5 minutes of finding out about it.

When I heard about the new Figarti pieces from some of the Brits right after they left the London Show, and how good they were and that they 6 Firefllys sold out in minutes to our Forum members, I e-mailed Shannon and Mandy with a pre-emptive strike to be put on a list. I was number 2 on the list. Don't know who got there ahead of me but he is very fast.

Look at the detail on that dashboard!!! With all due respect to First Legion, whose StuG looks exceptional, Figarti will be very difficult to knock from the top spot when it comes to 1:30 scale vehicles. I look forward to setting the Figarti Firefly and the Prime Mover next to the First Legion StuG for a detailed comparison!

 

[Old Guard]

Does anyone know if these are made of metal or somthing else?

Figarti vehicles are usually made of a polyresin (unlike polystone, it does not contain marble dust and accordingly holds detail better) base with a hundred+ photo-etched metal detail pieces.

Thank Louis.

And I look forward to reading your comparison.

My error was waiting until I saw it listed on the website. Never did see it for a pre-order. Next time there will be no hesitation.
