Your understanding about K&C and K&C UK is some what lacking.
Brad pointed out the main one!!!
Yes we use K&C in our title this is because my father who at the time of being made redundant as sales Director of a very large UK firm could see the potential in the product Andy had brought to the market at the time. Therefore had agreed that this could be done......infact we are OPERATION UK Ltd TA King & Country UK, TA The Toy Soldier Show London, TA Toy Soldier TV
However my father has by means of some very hard work, sacrifice and god dam grit stuck with what he believed and worked from one bedroom and a delivery of three carrier bags to where we are now in two warehouses, and on average a 'ton' of K&C delivered every ten days. (and mother)
Yes he is very good friends........my father says best friends. However now working direct with Andy on the Crimean range this guy breaths and eats toy soldiers and when ever we do the show in London he asks how did it go how were the other traders......ie interested in the hobby.
Your quotes dip in and out of direct points to Andy and if they were about the other contributers to the magazine which is a K&C magazine then you did not make this clear. its there and i have read it a few times and most defiantly in the wrong context if thats not what you meant.
To me the development of all the manufactures that appear in the world today are making the hobby better and better. the ones in the collector have a direct link at some point to K&C, another reason why they should be asked!
it also a bit of a 'no brainer' to me the collector is a magazine that is dealt through K&C and K&C dealers therefore intended for K&C collectors. If you don't collect K&C or you don't like Andy of K&C then why read it.
I read as many threads as possible in the forum and with my TSTV hat on i talk to a lot of the manufactures. Which by the way you need to look at the site again as you must have missed all the interviews with Britain's, TM Terrain talking about First Legion, Clive talking about Figarti, John Gittens talking all things JG, Scarlett and Gold talking about his range!!!
yes i have access to K&C office and a brother who lives in HK so i am going to take advantage.
I also met with Gerard from Frontline (films on soon) i met with John Jenkins who we did not film but have discussed the future, i spoke with Ken from East of India. I have e-mail communication with Rick Berry Old North West, Matt from First Legion, Richard from Britain's.
Take another look around the site you might find it interesting!
And come on its going to be an all hugs and kisses edition as your not going to see any one writing in it that is not going to pump K&C!!!! This is also why i mentioned the involvement and commitment to the hobby with the two other activities that i do............it DOES allow me to be impartial to events.
