God I hope so. The issue with these figures has been one of quality. I've inspected them several times now and I've had to reject them because they weren't up to our standards. I am due to inspect them again around March 10th (my last round on them being last November), so if they are up to quality, then they'll be released in late March. If they're not, then they won't. I simply won't pur our name on something that doesn't meet our standards.

As for "Old Guard" battle poses, you'll just have to wait and see. If you want some, I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied in the not too distant future. :D

Regards,

Matt

Disinformation is an equally powerful tool as information Rob. Our big plan is to get everyone THINKING we're doing WWII so that we can focus unhindered on our Napoleonics. Like the Allies during D-Day, we've even had WWII dummy sculpts done and displayed across from the Pas De Calais as part of the subterfuge. :D

Wait...did I just say D-Day? :eek:

And large inflatable signs saying 'We are doing D Day soon'!;):D

Before you know it you'll will have members of the forum flying over your offices trying to take pics of invasion barges being prepared!;)

OH GREAT, our invasion barges have been compromised too. Clearly, there is a mole in our organization....:mad:

Maybe they'll be flying over in our new warbirds range we have coming as well.......1:1 scale with spinning propellers (but solid polystone so you can't sit inside them). Only $225 plus $14,500 in shipping.

Oh well, 8pm here...time to unplug for a bit and go eat. I'm getting silly now. All work and no play makes Matt sit in his bathrobe all day preparing for the samurai pre-order tomorrrow....even samurai have to eat. Must..un..plug.

Matt,

Can you give us an up-date on the Old Guard marching figures. March has come and gone and still no pre-ordering. Was the factory able to meet First Legion's standards? Does this mean a change of factories for these guys.

They look like wonderful figures, so I hope we will have the opportunity to buy them soon.:)

Unfortunately, they're not up to standard. Thus, they will be produced elsewhere. This is unfortunate, as we've spent a lot of money on them (that will be difficult to get back), we've advertised them several times, etc. etc. etc., but I'm just not willing to accept crap figures. Goes with the territory of working here where sometimes you just run into people that #$%@ you over. Oh well, we move on...

On the positive side, I'm considering doing some additional work to them and adding a few more variants (perhaps forage cap and another arm and leg variant). Really this is still very fresh to me (just this week), so nothing final has been decided yet.

Regards,

Matt
