That is quite true, there is some totally amazing painting; which comes at a pretty steep price but no doubt it is most impressive.
Yes I expect you would want to do that. Can you imagine taking that through airport security?Like this one http://www.soldiers-russia.com/kolobob/knight_rv13.htm
2500$... it's not the price the problem.. it's the shipping .. imagine having some broken parts or loss of paint on something like this.. that's the kind of piece that you go over there to pick it up and bring it with you on the plane on your lap

Hi Joe,
Good points all , Each collector has to weigh the pros and cons for themselves before making any new financial decision these days
As you know I'm also a big collector of Aeroart figures as well , IMO First Legion compare well against Aeroart and with the price of a single basic Aeroart figure now over $100.00 and with their Crusaders hitting $140.00 First Legions Crusaders at $49.95 or so will be just to good to miss .
I know you have been on the fence for some time now and I'm glad to have been a part of the group of guys to help you decide to give First legion a shot . I'm sure you will not be disappointed , I don't know how anyone could be
My man if you were impressed with the Bavarians believe me you haven't seen nothing yet . I'm not saying the Bavarians are bad , I still love em but the newer releases blow em away . I will stop running on by saying that I like a lot of other First Legion collectors could not be happier with the choice we've made. We just want to spread the good news to our fellow collectors so they can share in the same joy we are now receiving from our collections . First Legion are doing something very special indeed and everyday more and more collectors are coming to that same conclusion . I look forward to seeing your review and by all means break the ice with one or two figures from the WWII line they are incredible
She often helps me make selections when I hit the wall of indecision. Well, I showed her the pics of the forthcoming Crusaders and she suggested that I display them in our curio outside of the mancave! Can you believe that? A little background info, here would be helpful...My collection is situated in a tiny extra room that we have. The curio I mentioned is in our living room where she suggested sometime ago that I display the dozen or so Aeroart figures that I have (because she said they are so well done and pieces of art). Well, if she would like more of my soldiers, this time FL's Crusaders, to imperialistically infiltrate a common family area, that sure says a lot for FL?

Originally I planned for my aquarium small children, now they have grown and left home .. I have negotiated and obtained the agreement of Madame to expose my numbers in the aquarium FL instead of fish !!!!!
Here's a fun story: My wife likes to look at the pictures of the toy soldiers of my interest with me, and she always gives feedback as well (she is an artist). She can be quite a harsh judge, I tell ya!
Of course she always reserves final judgment on a manufacturer's merits until she can study their work up close, but nonetheless, the battle is half won!
If I do jump in before the Crusaders become, it would likely be for one or two Revolutionary War soldiers, or perhaps one each Russian and German from the Stalingrad line. In any case, I'll keep you appraised of any FL troop movement on my end!

We are in the same boat mate. Acre is not my favorite battle of the Crusades but after watching KoH again last night, I am pretty sure the figures can be used for earlier Crusader events. So it seems like we will have more that enough to choose from 'until' perhaps we see some Romans.Very interesting points, I agree with what you say and feel like you do when it comes to being selective. I had also been waiting on this range, and obviously have pondered Samurai, WWII. It's Naps and Crusaders for me now! Hopefully Romans some day (please, not too soon
The Bavarians, well, IMHO FL's figures have clearly improved from then on, so my friend, you'll be in for a treat
Cheers,
Paulo
if our wives (women) often prohibit our collection in the common rooms of the house (living room, dining room ..)
She finds this very aesthetic exposition.Ci be attached photo.Peut you've already seen on my blog? Regards.Guy.
.
p), I cannot take credit for Guy's ingenious in-wall display! Yes, that's his creative gem, and falls right in line w/ his other stellar works. You has a blog w/ more evidence of his dioramic expertise. Just want to make sure he gets credit because I'm nowhere near that level.
I like ALL of them for that matter.Just to get back on track I noticed these five new figures for First Legions upcoming Crusades line . I like the Teutonic Knight on the left
This is going to get complicated.I like ALL of them for that matter.
Right, that part is simple; paying for them and all the Napoleonics I want is the complicated part.Why Bill? You just have to get ALL of them, not complicated at all
