what is your 'Holy Grail'? (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

Hi Guys

I was looking through my collection and thinking what is the single item which i am missing? it is the following, as i have the other two Panzer 38's, I am not putting this out there to seek the item, but it got me think what other K & C collectors have missing from their collection.

WSS224 Tank - Panzer 38 - 204

I will find the above someday and i know it will simply be replaced by another figure/set, but that is the life of a collector.

I started collecting King & Country sometime in the 90's...I am a huge Afrika Korps collector...i bought all the early K&C AK sets , except the early motorcycle & sidecar...Had it in front of me back in the 90's , & i decided not to buy it...UGH !!

Mine is NA 158 Napoleon & His Generals. It's available on Ebay, just not a price I'm willing to fork out.

Cheers,

Hi Jager,

Always enjoy these types of topics. Three treasures stand out for me:

AK026 Desert Transport (Troop Car)
AK029 Rommel's Greif (was really glad to see K&C offer the Adler as a new release!)

and lastly because I've always liked bridges:

SP012 Pontoon Bridge - how I would love to see a new version of this bad boy!

Are you talking about this zundapp or was there an earlier version?

Achieved mine last year...the Silk road Elephant (very rare). All the best to everyone seeking their Holy Grail. Hang in there and it will turn up eventually. Robin.

I missed this great item, one of the best KC has done. The commander is very well done too.

Thats the one for me,

The one King and Country item I most want is BR054, Supply Wagon set for the AWI series. I have a lot of pieces in that same range and have long wanted to get the supply wagon to go with them. My actual Holy Grail item though is the J G Miniatures Egyptian House, which is almost impossible to find. I want that to go with my K&C Egyptians.

Not a bad price, but still more than i can afford and willing to spend for 1 tank.:salute::

 

[jazzeum]

Almost missed out, though. Took my sweet time reserving it and got the last one he had.

I always wanted one of those old K & C wooden Mosquitos and thought I had it but it was severely cracked. Would be nice to have but don't expect to get one.

Got one when they were first released. Sold it eighteen months later for 750.00. 368.00 is a steal.
