Well the next 16 figures are nearly finished so that's a total of 40 figures in the range so far. Time for some specials after these.  ;)

Well I have my TO&E drawn up (platoon plus two M60 crews) and am filling in the slots .... definitely need more riflemen and more M60 support crew plus the command bits  :D

Regarding the pack composition that was debated earlier, my own take on is that it works. Of the 16 figures I have received, 14 have made it into my platoon: one M60 gunner was surplus and as I don’t use prone minis he’s gone off to a friend who does, while I’ve kept back a blooper to convert or for parts.

Never seen your Australian distributor stock a new range so quickly, so I sense that this will be a very popular range, which on the basis of the sculpts so far, it richly deserves to be.

Funnily enough, had I held off and waited for Elite to stock them rather than arranging a pick up at Salute, I would have had them in my hands earlier.  lol

That's funny I wondered if you had got them yet  :?

The sad thing is that we were pretty slow in sending him the stock as we just got slammed for the stuff. Some of our international distributors got let down with short orders, which is so embarrassing. However we just stocked up .......and I have had to start another order immediately. Oh well its a good problem to have and will certainly help support the range. Paul is buried in research from me bless him. Especially on getting the personalities right which is always a concern.  ;D

Can’t wait to see the personalities. Judging by the Steiner figure set we should be in for a real treat  :-*
