I purchased this set at Claymore back in August and must say that I was diappointed in what I got for my money.  I'm not criticising the figures or the resin work.  Both are very good but it is more a vignette than a useful piece for a game.  

The set cost £20.00 which I thought OK for a vignette but overpriced for what I thought I was getting:
9 useful figures and a parrot
0.75 figure cut off as if in water
A bench
2 pieces of cast resin that I'll need to fit into a building set to use.

I'd have preferred the figure set without the resin bits.

The Hasslefree set looks much nicer. Unfortunately the scenery is OOP.

I was signed up for the 100 Club entry for this piece, but turned it down once they produced it and offered it to me as a pre-order. I don't want the backdrop, which drives up the price considerably. If Eureka will sell the figures separately, as they've done with some of their Indian dioramas, I'll be all over them.

Usually if you contact Nic Robson at Eureka with a custom order, he'll sell you exactly what you want.
