What are you expecting to be released in Nov 2017, I am hoping the new Battle of the Bulge sets will be released.

I know people will expect the new Tiger and as it is a winter tiger, but from 1942-43.
 
I’d like to see an updated winter 88. Big fan of the Battle of Kharkov 1943 and that would fit right in. The Battle of the bulge Germans fit right in and a winter 88 is sorely needed.

Which 88mm do you mean, as there was a BBG035 Flak 41 88mm Gun, which I am not a fan of, but have it. Or do you mean WS057 88mm Gun? Which I agree with you, there is a great picture of one being towed away by an American M5 Tractor.

Alas, the problem with threads such as this one is that invariably there will be disappointment when the favourite item 'hoped for' fails to appear!
As you know every single month throughout the year K&C and yours truly release a fair number of items across a fairly broad range of historical eras and interests...It's simply impossible to meet every single collector's 'Wants..Needs...and Must Haves'.
Designing and producing figures, fighting vehicles and battlefield displays and accessories is not like turning a tap on or off....
It's a long and exacting process (also enjoyable I am happy to say) taking many months and many people to provide their input, talents and skills. It also involves careful cost assessments, both in the manufacturing side and the retail side also.
All of these factors and much, much more goes into what will be released and when it will actually appear...
So the upshot is don't be too disappointed if your own personal favourite does not appear in this particular month...It may well be 'in the works' already...Or on the 'hit list' waiting to get the 'green light'!
Look on the bright side...at least some collectors will be happy next month.
Best wishes and happy collecting!
Andy.

Thanks Andy.

Speculating on what will be released is something I and I know other collectors enjoy doing, hearing about what fellow collectors want is always interesting. We know that we cannot get what we always want, such is life, but in my opinion you make more collectors happy every month than disappointed.
 
I started collecting K&C in the early 80's. So in over 300 monthly releases I can only remember 5 or 6 months that I couldn't find something to buy.
Those are pretty impressive numbers!
But it is fun to dream and hope for that special item or series you have always wanted.
My wish list would include:
More Romans
More IDF and their Arab opponents
More Crusaders
Enemies of Imperial China
Ancient Egypt
Napoleon's adversaries other than British

Those adversaries would be good and also those belle allies from some months back...

Hi Andy,

I look forward to seeing a few of Folgore’figures before the end of this year. :rolleyes:It doesn't hurt to hope, does it? :smile2: By the way…I feel sad…:(I've just heard you're not coming to Milan (Novegro) next month! You know, I would've been happy to see you, like we do every year.

Best regards
Enrico
 
Tomorrow's (if there isn't a Chinese holdiday in the way) releases will be the last ones before Christmas. I know December is yet to come but many releases that month may not make it before Christmas - so it will be quite interesting to see what will be available.
 
Well with the Alligator possibly coming in December, I would love to see A winter allied half track. BBA-30 was a long time ago...
