Fnurban #22 : Does Anyone Want These ?

Hello all, I've been having a bit of a new year tidy-up and came across the following - sprues of hard plastic 28mm WW2 figures.  Freebies from hobby magazines in the past year or two - probably Wargames Illustrated. They are as follows: 

(1) Warlord Games 'Bolt Action'  Late War British and Canadian Infantry(2020), There is a code number : 4030300011. 

 

(2) Warlord Games 'Bolt Action' Afrika Korps (2018) Code number 4030100016.


(3) Wargames Atlantic Panzer Lehr  ( 2021 )  Code WAAWA002

There looks to be the potential to make 6 figures for each sprue - though I wouldn't swear to it, as there are just so many pieces!  I don't need them, as my small WW2 collection is good old-school 20mm, and I don't have the patience for assembling these before even getting an undercoat on them!  But of course, they may be right up someone else's street - at the very least there are lots of potential 'spares' here - and it would be a shame to just throw them away. 

SO - if you are in the UK and can find a use for any of these, please get in touch via the comments, just give me your email address ( I won't publish the comment ) and I'll be in touch to get your postal address. There's no charge, it'll only need a second class stamp so I'll cover that, just to see these go to a good home. First come, first served..  BUT as I say, UK only please, sorry it will be too expensive to   post them abroad.  Also bear in mind that I was told by a friend today ( 6th January ) that they had just received my Xmas card, which I think posted on about 9th December... so we won't assume quick delivery in the current climate. 

If you are also a blogger, I hope you can show the world what a splendid job you make of  painting and assembly, and maybe even how they subsequently perform on the battlefield.. 

I'll wait for the comment(s)  to flood in ( Mrs Trellis, are you out there ? ). Meanwhile keep well, everyone.   

*** UPDATE: I'm glad to say Mark 'Man of Tin'  has taken up my offer of these,  says he hopes to transform them into VBCW / Imaginations troops in due course this year as a small ahistorical Skirmish Force , and that  he will eventually post on his blog describing what he does with them. I have posted them off, hopefully they will arrive OK and be of some use to Mark!  ***

  1. I don't want the goodies David. I have too much already for my slow production rate. But it looks like you've started a new year stock take and tidy up.

  2. Dear David in Suffolk, if no one else wants them, I will happily give them a home in my bits box to transform them into VBCW / Imaginations troops in due course this year as a small ahistorical Skirmish Force. A shame to throw them away. Thank you very much (no rush). Mark Man Of TIN
