I know not everyone was a big fan of this range, but I just noticed you can buy the figures by character now, and not in the boxed set. They're £5 for a two-figure pack containing both the the full kit & civilian version of the same character.
So if (like me) you were thinking of using one or two useful ones for Pulp, VBCW, non-Dad's Army WWII games or whatever else, that's much more of an option now.
