the "ONE" K&C set you are missing?? (1 Viewer)

I personally want to find a Silk Road Elephant. That is my holy grail, I have never been able to obtain.

I did find an original 88 - the Summer One, that along with DD35, WS41 were the holy grails, now found!

I also recently picked up the original IWJ 11 (Iwo Sherman) and it was the original olive color with the medal Mint in Box, I almost cried when it was delivered!!

I still need an FJ01 Schwim, but it is not as important as it once was.

Guess I have more than 1 or 2 holy grails!

I should say I sold 2 Holy Grails too - Drum horse and Mussolini Staff Car

SR 01 from a very short lived K&C Silk Road Series. All pieces are tough to find, I only have a few. The Elephant is the one I really want!

What does it sell for? I have never seen any of the silk road items.

No idea Terry. Maybe Tom knows. I don't recall seeing them on ebay but then I don't collect them.
 
as for cost......who knows, never have seen one for sale. I am sure it ranges from 300 to 1500 depending on who's selling! Original retail was 255, a bargain. The other pieces go for cheap to expensive, again, all depends on who is buying. I bought the SR02 Manchu Officer for $20, the pack mule set for $50.


As for my latest find, I got the original CA (Chinese Army) rendition of Emperor QIA for $41, not bad!

Tom

there are only certain pieces I will break the bank for, these are not one of them, I figure patience will pay off!

I looked up the original prices. The Pack Handler with Camel was $51 - the Elephant original price was 5 times as much. I guess patience is the word. :)

Terry,
Patience is key, b/c I only told you the bargains I got, notice I left the price off a few other of my holy grails!!!!!!!

although, funny thing is, with the price of some new sets, some of the oldies are real bargains.
 
I am still trying to pick up On the Beach Set A. I have just missed getting it on Ebay a couple of times.
 
Great thread. The last year or so most of my collecting has been attaining some older/retired pieces ( fewer purchases but at higher costs! ). I would probably say the few pieces out there I still want are frequently available in the secondary market but at such lofty prices I haven't bitten yet. In no particular order I like K&C's WS 41 Pz II, WS 55-56-57 88 plus crew, WS 37 Krupp truck, GC 01-07 German cavalry, WS 30 Casualties of War, WS 28 German POW's, WS 032 8 Wheeled German Armoured Car, and....and....and....and that's not even the WWII Allies or other era's like the Napoleonic!!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhh what's a collector to do???:eek::eek::D

Cheers Forum Squadron Members:

I finally landed my primary 'Missing" set...KING & COUNTRY DD035 M16 Quad 50 Halftrack. She was "boxless" though but thanks to "one of our own" I will have a complete set and absolutely love it. There is another "lost" set though. I really liked the K&C Warbird Workshop Hawker Typhoon. Perhaps there will be another variant released some day hopefully in polystone to boot. One more I am hunting for...the Adolf Galland figure from the polystone Me-109. This is the only figure I have ever lost as "Dolfo" must have bailed out during a move.

Love This Stuff More Than Ever,
Marc
 
my holy grail would be the arnhem recce jeep, the iwo sherman and the ju-52. i was lucky enought to start early in collecting my kc although my budget was small. i used to save my money until the chicago show.
 
I almost forgot my club figure holy grail: CF 01 (French Foreign Legionnaire Indochina 1954)
 
Still hunting for Wood/Resin Vehicle: Prime Mover & 88mm, Glossy: Mounted Ludhianna Sihk, Matte: Afrika Korp MP set, Polystone Vehicle: Winter Sherman (Repainted - IWJ-11), Wooden Warbird: Huey, Me-262, F/A-18. Well, with all those planes, I would need the RAF fuel bowser truck and....... guess I have gone over the limit - it never ends does it?:D
