Are you asking about products to be released after the Chicago Show? Last year, Figarti showed prototypes of a Panzer IV Ausf J, Storch and M31 ARV at Chicago and asked collectors if there was any interest. They eventually released the Storch and M31 though it was even months after Chicago.

If you are asking about products to be released at the Chicago Show, Figarti is usually very quiet leading up to Chicago. A "stun and awe" piece like the E-boat or K5 railway gun is usually kept a secret until the Lunch. Products released in prior months are also displayed but this year there appears to be no more Winter 88's and prime movers.

Rick usually posts more leading up to Chicago so we may get some hints.

From What you are describing its more like the Chicago show will be the future releases. What I am wondering about is what is the october release??.
Early July they had the Long horns of Red bull, Late July to early August is the winter 88 and the Prime mover. Mid August is the Firefly and the Highlanders. September would be the sherman with the Snorkel, And The Priest. Plus the rest of the Highlanders. So what is Out there In October. thanks!!

I'm hoping for the release of more British and Allied Tanks myself.The shock and awe items are wonderful models and great to look at,but out of my budget range.So its the quality and reaalism of their AFV's i'm looking forward to.

I really like that figarti, Has tied up the highlanders, And their firefly together(served in the same place at the same time??). So I Really l would like it if they add any armoured piece, that is tied up with those previous two would be great. A Halftrack I am buying 2 right off the start. and something that is badly needed

Figarti doesn't let us down as far as surprises go. They are very competetive so I'll doubt we'll see much hard info before the Figari Lunch at the end of Sept. I like the fact that they push the envelope on ideas - new materials, different techniques and projects like having Build-a-rama create the tent for the medical figures. They have also been nice to the Allied collector as well as the Germans.

Personally I am awaiting the new announcements from all the manufacturers at OTSN but am especially watching K&C and Figarti.

If that is true, I guess tomorrow being the 1st, we will know what King and Country will have in store for Us for the Month Of October, But Figarti will lag in informing us ,what they will give us for that Month.

 

[jazzeum]

Yes, but you won't necessarily know what surprises K & C may have for Chicago.

Comment, I love Figarti, but they do not regularly release items every month, other, etc. They do it in batches for the most part, so if you collect them, you have to have a lot of patience (i do for them b/c I like their stuff). SO, patience is truly a virtue in this case. That said, Figarti will likely unveil a lot of in the pipeline projects in Chicago.

K&C will show us the regular dispatches this month, but Chicago should bring some new ideas and a surprise or two if the past is any future indication.

Yeah, Patience is the key with Figarti. I just wish and hopefully else wishes too, Is having regular/ once a month releases. And Hopefully that Late November/ early December. Its not dry, with no releases.

i still think its jerry armour boys.
if we see figarti's releases so far, the jerry armour so far only had been the winter panzer IV and DAK panzer IV (albeit different version). i dont include the prototype panzer IV shown last year (as i dont think it'll be released soon)
for allied armour, we got firefly, snorkel sherman, m3 lee, monty's m3 grant, recovery vehicle, and priest.
so for once the allied outnumber the jerries and it'll swing a bit, ok rob?

Sounds reasonable. But Figarti has done very few German armour pieces so it is wide open.

I wish, like Figarti, K&C would start a custom of having bigger unveilings at the Chicago and WestCoaster shows than just the usual monthly releases.

that would be interesting.
but not at the expense of the monthly dispatches which usually generated much buzz and excitement.
figarti don't follow a monthly release format, and in my opinion, tend to target shows for their releases - chicago show, london show, etc..
