What Should Be The Next Limited Edition? (1 Viewer)

[fishead19690]

Lets do another poll on Napoleonics !!! Yea Baby

If we did have to have LIMITED EDITION napoleonics how about some conversions of figures that are already out to keep the price down getting more use out of old sculpts I would think would help keep the price down, like what he did with the del prado/K&C limited editions only those cost more for some reason!!!

You could add new heads with different faces and some without hats or barracks caps on, new arms or reposioned arms. You could add gourds and make shift wine bottle canteenns like the french would carry on them, something all french soldiers had that every one seems to leave off there figures??? You could add stuff to there back packs like food and looted iteams like extra boots dishes ect. and how about some troops with there great coats and blankets tied over there shoulders (you know like cival war rebs)

And yes I think its about time we see some other figures besides french/british. I,ve been asking for this since I joined this forum and it always seems to fall on deaf ears.

Prussains, Russains, Austrains and all the other european troops!!!! Where are they???

Fubar has some Great russains available now and that has filled a void in my collection and he is keeping me busy painting them up. I also just got some of the painted ones he,s been selling on ebay and they look really nice also and at a good price also.

I talked to the britains rep, at one of the shows this year and it looks like they may be making some of the other troops from the waterloo battle in the future but its more brit,s-n-frogs first.

I,d like to see some nassu grenadiers, brunswickers (advant guard and deaths head troops) dutch and belgian, prussian landwehr and line troops.

I,d also like to see them all in campaign dress and ratty looking like real soldier would also.

Rob:

I loved "Waterloo" too - great film!

I am trying to send pictures from my British Square and French Calavary - but, its too large to upload - I need to figure out how to reduce it so I can put them on forum. Any ideas?

Napoleonic are the one.

Ron

If you send them to me i,ll try and reduce them and post them for you if you like.

I would like to see some winter napoleonic figures from russia 1812. I recall that Tradition did some nifty winter french sets. Or maybe Napoleon's carriage - talking limited edition maybe $300+ to seperate the men from the boys. Only sold in the good old US of A due to our efforts in WWII. Right Cap Ron?

The Brits have FINALLY paid off their WW II debt - We maybe could let them in

On the other hand we never did get reinbursed for the Destruction of the White House and the Capitol in 1812 - maybe its time for another Bill ?

YES - Russian Winter Set and Winter French would be very cool - and why not - we make make everything under the sun for the WWII guys - what about us - the true historians???

USA USA USA

Ok guys, its time to stop all this crap about what the next limited edition should be. Enough talk about 88’s, Tunisian Tigers, captured T34’s and the other stupid amour stuff that has been bantered about Its time to stop all the silly talk about WWI tanks and especially those gd’d Napoleonic figures that nobody likes to collect anyway. Who said we needed any of this crap

Now what we really need is that scale Bismarck or U-Boat. And what about an E-Boat or an Essex Class US carrier or a reissue of the B17 that Louis is shown holding in the photo gallery Now those would be worth collecting. And above all they would be very affordable for all of us to collect...after we get a very large amount of money, somehow ... bank robbery, CEO of ENRON .... oh well, I would still like to see a towable AK88

aah but they did give us Buffy the Vampire Slayer so I consider that to make up for all those you mentioned!

 

[Capitolron]

And lets not forget we also provided BAYWATCH, Hogans Heros, PATTON, Saving Private Ryan, Kelly's Heroes, A Bridge too Far (One of your UK wonderful military contributions to the War) - can we discuss the Military Strategies of Montgomery now????

 

[Rob]

Sound a bit touchy there Ron!

Easy,yep i'll give you Buffy.Did sure fancy that 'Faith'.

But Kellys heroes!.Give me a break.

And as for Monty,yes he had faults of course He was HUMAN.And Patton didn't?.
