For all intents and purposes Rob- you are my favorite KC collector- may not mean much- but talking to you about KC figures- especially the WW2 ones- makes me remember how much fun it is to collect KC.

Thank you Chris thats very kind of you and it does mean a lot mate.:)

Since discovering K&C in London all those years ago I've always tried to put my belief that they are the best and my enthusiasm for the product across in my posts.Now i fully understand for some it may well be annoying, but i hope for others they can identify with that too.

Thanks for posting Chris (and TD above)its much appreciated.

Hi Rob-

After all, be happy! Being unfairly ignored to participate in the special edition of the 25 years of King & Country is giving you more recognition from your peers as a serious K&C collector than any article you could have wrote. I totally agree with all the other members who deplore your absence in that issue and, as they do, I deeply believe that you were deserving an invitation to be part of it.

Thank you Pierre,i appreciate that.:)

Hi Guys,

We’ve seen several posts lamenting the fact that our friend Rob was not included or invited to participate in our special 25th Anniversary Issue. All of us at K&C consider Rob and many, many others on this Forum and among the K&C collecting fraternity as friends and I can assure everyone that his non-inclusion came as follows…

When we were planning this extra special issue, our team decided to compile a list of potential contributors. Emphasis was placed on ‘casting our net wide’ in order to include dealers… distributors… magazine editors… competitors and… most importantly… K&C collectors. Pretty quickly we came up with a list of over 100 names and, yes, Rob’s was one of those names. We whittled this down to almost 40 (and Rob was still there) and then we put the names in a hat and pulled out those that appeared in the final issue.

Of course we wish Rob had been included as well as the other deserving candidates… but that would have resulted in a book not a magazine and you would still be waiting for it!

So, apologies to our friends that alas did not make the final cut but no slight was intended… I’m sure we will work together sometime in the near future.

Best personal wishes and happy collecting… especially to Rob.


P.S. So, nobody was being ‘unfairly ignored’ and there’s really nothing to ‘deplore’.
 
Thank you Andrew that is very much appreciated and understood.:)

Funny how a completely random draw just happens (by coincidence of course!) to include ALL the other big names of the K&C "insider circle" of special best pals.

If all the big names of the K&C insider circle were automatically included, why did Lawrence Lo (one of the big three insiders, who co-wrote the book, and co-founded the New York Symposium, with one of the largest K&C collections in the world) get left out? Ditto Mark Hoffman, one of the biggest collectors and a sponsor of the New York Symposium? Or Doug Luna, a huge collector and one of Andy's original supporters? Craig "Bubba McLean", the owner of The Old Toy Soldier Home, one of K&C's largest and longest standing dealers? Tony Ciccarello of the Toy Soldier Gallery, K&C's 1st dealer? John Adivari, a tremendous K&C collector with a great collection of the early stuff? Frankly, I can think of 10 members of the "inner circle" that were not included. If you want to stir the pot, at least check your facts.
 
Mine arrived today and I,ve just finished reading it [good way to burn
up some time on a wet wellington winters day ].
Well done to all involved, some excellent articles and a good keepsake to boot.

On top of that, why did Andy include Ken Osen and Rick Wang?
