Looking forward to the next packs being available.

If you can say, how many packs of '68 marines are you looking at? Or to put it another way, how many duplicated poses should we expect in a full platoon? Debating whether to bite the bullet when the next set of packs come out and order enough to fill out the platoon, or buy a few packs at a time and work squad by squad?

Got another 16 x M16 , 4 x Bloopers, 4 x M60.

Plus other packs.

Lock and Load. Another sculpt and lots more to come.

Mighty fine and the range is growing super quickly!  :-*

I'm very tempted to get some of those, they have so much character and cool poses!

What does this imply for your other ranges though? I really hope to see a few more WW2 germans and brits  ;D

No more Brits due in about a month and more German planned in the months to come. All the equipment for the figures now sculpted across the ranges so no hold ups apart from the usual time constraints etc.

So start buying  lol

I really like that figure. With the new batch there's plenty of options for a platoon. I sense some command / character packs soon?  :D

I think it was "no, more Brits due in about a month", as in "no, we're no ignoring WWII, we will be on with more Brits in about a month".

There were designated spaces for lots more Nam and LW WW2 in the Empress display cabinet at Salute.

I do like that figure. ‘ With a twenty round magazine.... Load! Cock, tilt, look.........’

Hoping that the full range will bevin the hands of your Australian distributor in the not too distant future. I haven’t been this excited about a new range in a long while although I do hope it doesn’t prevent Paul sculpting some more Czechs for Emil.

Excellent news, on both the USMC and late war Brits  :D

Now, when can we expect some NVA and VC for them to face off against ;D :D ?

"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
