I think the Whaleboat is a slow burner - at $300 - collectors can only go so far with the quick pick-up. I believe in the next 6 months - it will be gone as people start picking it up slowly on their timetable.
Another reason for it still being there is the massive releases from JJD as well ! If you collect more than one of his ranges - which most of us do - this piece is low on the list. I personally don't collect the Rangers, but might pick up the dock set. The Whaleboat is a very nice piece though !

Michael - not on this one - The problem is the piece is very big and hard to display for me. At $300 - well, a few other priority items on the list before it. Although, the Ranger set does look very cool
- wish i had the space to collect it.

I've got the Whale Boat , and purchased it when it was on sale. I saw a guy buy 6 of them at the same sale. Maybe he was going to make the whole raid dio, I don't know.
I stopped buying doubles myself, and at $300 they will move slowly. All the boubles I got before the economy collapsed I'm selling now and of course I'm loosing on them. It's still a buyers market except for the Very Rare items.
I to will be getting the Dock Set.
Ron, I wonder if it could go with that new future release of the Indian Canoe ?

I was thinking the same thing - about a same diorama with the Dock Set and the three Canoes - sort of a French & Indian War - Pirate/Ransom thing of today.
I do love those Roger Rangers - just must limit myself on these things
Also another idea on the Dock Set would be to use it with my K&C FOB Range figures - like a Dunkirk jetty ? I think the soldiers walk on it waiting for transport could be cool

Okay,
I just bit the bullet,
and what a big bullet it was.
I swear, I have no willpower, lol
From this day forward though, nothing but new and future releases.
I just ordered,
WHRR-01
WHRR-02
RR-01
RR-02
I don't regret it, in fact I'm dying to see them,
but these high ticket items are a hard pill to take.
I'll post some photos when I get it.

Okay Andy, okay Randy,
You've had your laughs,
just beat a man when he's down huh?,
but honestly,
I may have to come out of retirement if John keeps producing and my stocks keep faltering.

Why do you suppose our hobby is so addictive?
Is there a toy soldier version of methadone???

Randy,
In my case it might be a 12 step program, kind of gradually wean me off, one soldier at a time,
you,
maybe a "photo patch" from Walgreens, lol, or "cold turkey",
I don't know , but addictive is the word,
the more I buy,
the more I want,
or is that compulsive?, lol
