Hi Rob

I checked it out. Being an old reactionary, think I prefer 1944.

I feel this has turned into a 'Lets wind Rob up thread'.Its as if you guys knew i was looking forward to Arnhem!!

We wouldn't do something like that Rob (not much)....
Seriously though, I did wonder if the expectation of the release of Arnhem so soon after the LRDG/SAS sets was just a wee bit optimistic. If they're still not available by January though, then I will also be somewhat disgruntled.

How are you getting along creating explosions beneath Heydrich's car?

January.....JANUARY!!!!!! i would not so much be disgruntled more totally unhinged!! (yes i realise i've left myself wide open with that one,form an orderly queue!!)

No i hear you though Harry.I'm not so much worried when they are released more wanting to see a first pic is all.

Sorry Rob, didn't mean to put your blood pressure into the stratosphere. What I meant was January is what I have got penciled in for obtaining both the Red and Green Devils. Medium term plans and all that.

Well October/September's certainly shaping up to be a good one Rob. My Precious Little Lotus Blossom wants me to pick up the following for her next time I'm passing through Hong Kong;

FOB020
FOB021
WS104SL
WS102
WS041

This means I can get the following for myself;
AE028
AE013
AE009
EA025
EA024
EA021
AK038
AK035
AK030
SP028
FOB038
WS046
MK049
MK022
MK020
MK025
MK017
MK005
MK004

On top of that, I'll also be picking up some basic diorama modelling material from Universal Models.
And that's the FINAL shopping list for October. Of course, I'll have to ditch the boxes and wrap everything carefully in newspaper and old tee-shirts, but it all ought to survive the journey to China okay.
Might have to defer a couple of the vehicles and/or the Crusaders until January/February cos looking at that list, its a lot to try and pack into two suitcases. We'll see.

No matter what though, its definitely Red and Green Devils for January/February. Napoleonics will just have to wait until later in 2008.

Harry, you could always wear 5 layers of clothing!

Jeff,
January/February in Dalian? - I might have to wear five layers anyway. It can get down to minus 20 degrees C - and if you get caught in the wind - its perishing...!!!
I forgot about HK107, The Crimea War Set 2 and the new Santa Set, plus all those commando comics and Charleys War books which I'm hoping to get sent to my Dad's house in Aberdeen. Being realisic though, I think it'll more likely be March/April before I can travel to the UK and pick them up.
Long range plan for latter part of next year is to make a start on collecting some Saracens and whatever new Naps Andy's going to come up with......But you know how plans and collecting toy soldiers goes....LOL.
