@knp7765:
I am LOVING these new German pieces. Also very much like the bonus Tiger in each set. Thank you VERY much Coach. To all who placed pre-orders and therefore got the bonus Tigers, we should be very appreciative. You know that of all the pieces in the new German sets, these Tigers are sure to be the hottest item. So for Coach to include a FREE Tiger in each pre-order set is really putting himself out there for us.
I do see what you mean about the Do-17s. I could see some minor problems with some that I got in my sets and I’m guessing you probably sent the best ones in your pre-orders. I understand better why you made the cut.
Your 251 Halftracks are fabulous. They make the OOB look like simple clumps of plastic. I’m crazy for the Me262 and Me110. Oh, and aren’t those little Panzer IIs just SO CUTE!
I noticed your QC is very good. All pieces present and accounted for. Odd thing: in my dark grey sets, one set was missing a Ju488 yet the very next set had 3 so it evened out. Just seemed an odd coincidence to me.
Possible suggestion: You mentioned before that you wish to include the Panzer IV in the next Axis Minors sets so it will be available in all the 7 Axis Minor colors. This makes good sense since many of the Axis Minor countries got Panzer IVs from Germany. I don’t know how far you have gotten in the lineup for that set, but you might consider including a Ju87 Stuka. I know that Italy flew some and I think Finland did as well. Not sure about Romania, Bulgaria or Hungary, but I know some were also in the Condor Legion in Spain. Plus, I know that your’s would look fantastic and it would be cool to have Stukas in all the different colors. Just an idea.
I agree, Pz IV, Stuka, and a 250, 251, or Sdkfz 7 for the mech. We will round out the Axis Minors in all the previous colors and fill in the holes.
