Here's the April newsletter I received.
Carlos
Dear Gunn Club
Apologies for the delay but I have been waiting on prices for the latest sets to be sent to me and really thought there was no point in sending a newsletter without these! Anyway good things come to those who wait so without further ado here we go!
FJ006 Cold Steel available in 200 Normandy and 100 Tropical version, comprises of a German FJ about to finish off a British Paratrooper with the bayonet or is he? Our brave Tommy reaches quickly for his sidearm but only you can decide who wins this showdown! Priced around $58 or £45 in the European VAT zone these 2 figures still represent excellent value for money compared to some other manufacturers!
FJ007 Medic comprises an FJ orderly checking for a pulse on what looks like a very dead comrade! Once again available in 200 sets Normandy and 100 Tropical version these are bound to sell quickly as to my knowledge these have never been made before in 1/30th scale. Once again same prices as above and once again very good value for money!
Moving on we announce a new range called ‘The Naughty Forties’ which delves into the off duty world of the armed forces! We plan to have a whole host of scenarios within this range including a downstairs boudoir interior, musicians and staff that would frequent one of these places. The exciting thing about this project is you can have many different nationalities relaxing together on the premises and I think the possibilities could be endless with this one.
NF001 Comprises a US sailor with exotic lady relaxing together on a couch discussing ‘the forthcoming deal’ with only 200 sets of the New York 1940 and 100 of the Pearl Harbour version available soon. Priced at around $69 this series is going to appeal to the collector who appreciates a little glamour in his displays!
LUFT001A: Well after what seems an eternity the A version of our FW190 finally lands next week along with all of the above. Just 140 have been made and as stated before theres no plans on making another aircraft soon so get this one whilst you can! Armin Faber was the unlucky German pilot who landed by mistake in Wales after a dogfight over the UK and was promptly captured shortly after landing. This aircraft would therefore look good in any Axis or Allied dio and at approx $155/£115 is a steal for an aircraft of this quality. We have taken on board all comments about packing after the Tropical version had its fair share of problems and I sincerely hope that with the extra packing now supplied we will not have any major problems with breakages.
OK so that’s it for this months releases and now onto the London show! From the feedback received from Maison Militaire all the new sets were very well received with plenty of pre-orders coming in on the day. Most of you will know that we previewed our new SS cavalry and our Krupp truck as well on the day. The first 2 SS Cavalry figures will be for sale in May with the other 4 available in June along with the Krupp truck, I have no prices for either but will hopefully have details of these in Mays newsletter.
Dealers your trade price list will be out tomorrow!
Signing off for now!
