winter tiger sold out in uk (1 Viewer)

Check out the K&K uk website

Mike has apparently sold out out of the new winter tiger already - collectors or speculators?

Saw Bill Sagers reply recently, all gone?

It's apparently all sold out to dealers. However, I don't think all dealers have sold them out. I believe Treefrog, for instance, has several.

That should be correct Brad. I would think that some of the dealers still have stock. I did not get as many as I wanted because I did not think they would sell out that fast from K&C.

I would be willing to bet this 1000 piece "Limited Edition" will be available for a Long Time. Check out the Limited WS69 sittiing on Ebay at $80.
Using the term Limited on an issue of 1000 is really a stretch......whats a new normal run going to be 5 or 10 thousand?
Why not 50 thousand? Here we go again.

I agree with Njja. By essence, every military collectible or vehicule is limited, otherwise it becomes a toy soldier that can be find at Wal-Mart or any other big surface. Now, we have limited editions inside limited editions products. WS47 and WS57 were produced at 1 000 exemplaries (correct me if I'm wrong) and it's their early unexpected retirement that make them so valuable. But with WS69 and now WS70, everybody is knowing that they are produced at 500 for one and 1 000 for the other. If you have the cash, go for them as much as you can. I think that's what happening right now. But my main concern is the other not now so limited editions. Their value will rise as prior? Asking the question is answering it. What is their issue now. They must be distinguished from the new limited editions, so is it 3, 5 or 7 000? I would appreciate a statement from Mr. Nielson on that point (retiring K&C to Michigan Toy Soldiers for a lousy 10% discount arguing the potential rise of each sets or vehicules seems in danger now).

I love K&C and will continue to buy their products but I will take a good look at Bristish Commando in march 2006.
