Hi Sammy

Thanks for reply. Matt ever told me that he will release DAK Panzer IV during this month. So I thought can see in this show.

Don't know, I didn't make it to the show but maybe we will hear from others that went.
 
Constantine did post pictures of the FL stand on Facebook. Except for the tank and the recently announced addition to the napoleonic camp (👄), I saw no new figures. But the photos are small. But the new TM displays are great.
 
Can you share the link to the Facebook site? I looked on FL's Facebook site and didn't see any photos from the show. Thanks.

I hope that we see an FL DAK Panzer IV soon.... BUT ..... I really think that what we need (and are LACKING) from FL is some British 8th army AFV's and artillery.:salute::
 
Thanks for posting the photos. I am relatively new to this hobby, but it seems odd to me that FL didn't formally present any new items. Last year, the Patton tank, woodland indians, winged hussars and Turks were previewed. I do think that the Tiger tank is a future release by FL though. Matt hinted that he would be bringing something to the show that would make WWII collectors happy. Also, he takes great pride in his products and I can't see why he would present another manufacturer's product in his display.

 
I think the challenge was that the last newsletter just recently came out - in essence just before the show. And that one had a lot of announcements for the Napoleonic range. At Chicago, many of these announced figures were actually on display. I think we are just spoiled.

Secondly, last year Matt showed a lot of figures that still have not been released for pre-order. This is slightly unusual because it is generally FL's policy to ensure announcement and pre-order to not drift too far apart. I can imagine that the Winged Hussars are a nightmare to produce ...

Last year's show was my n of 1 so I was expecting more of the same. If the congreve rocket system was on display, I hope that someone posts live photos of it soon as this set interests me. The photo of the Winged Hussar is incredible. I am really hoping that Matt releases the Hussars before Christmas as they have been on my list since last September.

A Tiger chassis not including the main gun is 21 ft. long. Scaling from the photo would mean the figure lying next to the Tiger would be 8 ft. long. Far too long for a 1:30 figure.The Tiger looks to me like a 1:35 scale kit model as aa rough estimate..
