I'm buying everything the second it hits the dealers. Everything looks fantastic and Corp. Hitler was one of the suggestions from the forum -although Andy may have thought it up on his own.

It's already preordered through Treefrog.

I for sure will be collecting this line, great idea to start this thread.

No thanks boys....WWII is all that gets my money these days. Good luck though with "The Great War!"

My WORLD WAR I Collector Club Figures are already scouting out their new position in my curio cabinet in my living room.

The initial WWI figures look great and I'll certainly be getting some if I can squeeze them into the budget, but Napoleonics come first and with French cavalry being released in the same month this seems unlikely (at least in the short term). In the meantime I'll just have to hope my careful financial planning bears fruit. This currently involves buying lottery tickets and scratchies.

Good to be back.

IS the Kaiser Staff Car a STEAL at $79.00 - oh I wish I had some British Pounds right now - WOW - you British Folks have got it made in the shade..

 

[jazzeum]

It's not that cheap, in US dollars, for our British friends. The staff car comes out to approximately $140.

But if they buy in the US ? - Wouldn't it be lower?

 

[jazzeum]

Well, there's shipping and then there's duty so I'm not sure if it's worth the aggravation. Rob may know what that all entails. We're lucky. If I get something from overseas, I don't pay duty.

 

[Rob]

Well the postage never seems to be a big problem really(depending on the weight of course)but i must confess i don't really get the duty system.Sometimes i've had to pay tax on delivery and sometimes not.Its possible that it might be 17% of total cost after a certain amount,but i could be very wrong there.

So what is everyones favorite WWI figure so far ???

Hitler only because it is something unique and I'm not aware of anyone else pursuing the WWII angle in the context of WWI. Lt. Rohm can't be far behind since he served in the 13th Bavarian which is featured in this release.

 

[jazzeum]

The standing officer, because he seems to betray that Prussian haughtiness found in the officer class.

 

[Capitolron]

I really like them all - I agree with Brad the Officers do look good.

Should we ask for the Zepplin now?
