Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
My father taught me as a kid, "The squeaky wheel get's the grease!" So here is my squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak ... :thinking_face: Hmm, lets see now ...
* Battle of Camerone 1863 - Mexicans in Sombreros and the unique FFL's.
* Apaches (Just love your one indian set!).
* Spanish-American War - Especially Spanish Armies.
* Finish Napoleonic British Square with Highlanders and other armies incl French (made by same sculptor who made the "at ease" set).
* Colonial British firing line and Mahdists for Colonial era Sudan.
P.S. - Same wishes as before, so I'll just keep "squeaking" :bike: until our axles gets at least some grease. :mask: Lets keep working together for all of our dreams; almost there!
I totally agree with the list of GC above especially, Mexicans (sombreros), FFL in Mexico and army of Emperor Maximillian, American Spanish war. Then I would add Vichy French and colonial troops for the North African Campaign and Mexican revolutions (Villa / Zapata).
Perhaps for Orion to take note: Green Berets, American special forces,US artillery,navy and air force and South Koreans and Australians all for Vietnam. French for Indo China (Dien Bien Phu) and infantry of countries involved in Korean War under the UN. Some civilians re Vietnam war will also be welcome.
Unbelievable great gaps of WW2: Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians, Greeks, Albanians, Yugolav Fascists, Chinese and Bulgarians - Mars please consider focusing on these armies of WW2.
Finally modern Egyptian army or other Arab army (Jordanian / Lebanese / Syrian) to pit against already existing IDF (Israeli artillery / air force will be most apprciated).Once referring to modern armies please remember French, Chinese and Ukrainian / Georgian armies.
I know life is made of dreams but sometimes dreams do come true.
Ahh another one of those request threads ;) I'll post the same things I've done many times before and hopefully Strelets might get round to them when they've finished with the men in WOSS pantomime fancy dress, tubular nappies, Beau Geste, Raid on Rommel and other such distractions ;)

Many nice proposals! I have "Copy and Paste" from the proposed sets which I desire too - and have add some other sets.
My wish-list

WSS
I have given already all my proposals
Napoleonics:
- British Infantry in square (Waterloo)
- Austrian cavalry (Hussars and lancers)
- Russian dragoons
Napoleonic British Hussars
1813-1815 French Summer Infanty Dress fighting
1815 French Young Guard in Full Dress
1813-1815 Prussian Horse Artillery

Lots of good suggestions above. As a concept, either small standalone themes, or completing / complementing ones. So:
Colonial
*Afghan / Pathan tribesmen (like the various excellent Arab boxes)
Napoleonic
* Dutch-Belgian 1815 Heavy Cavalry
Ancient
* Elamites
* Nebucadnezzar’s Babylonians, including the lighter armed Chaldeans
* Arameans / Canaanites in long fringed robes; some infantry with “girded up loins” (kilt tucked into belt to aid rapid movement)
Oooh yes! Chariot wars stuff, Caesar kinda started on that with some excellent figures and then seemed to drop out of it. Like the look of the Linear a stuff but a bit put off by the price.
