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.
A Good Friday update in my opinion. Not only excited for the new sets but also the rereleases. The five WWII sets being rereleased have been near impossible to find in the past few years. I’ve been looking for the Hungarians and Romanians for ages now, so those sets are good as new for me.
Are Hungarians on the way? Oh great new...impossible to find it in the past years. Good job Strelets !!
Thank you Strelets. I plan on getting all three new sets - especially WSS Bavarians - and have emailed my favorite US supplier to ask when and if he is getting them here. If he answers I shall inform the group here.
One question,,,,,,rather an observation,,,,,and not necessarily a critique,,,,,but the Seminole and US Volunteer box art shows a LOT of left-handed shooters. But the sprues are all righty shooters. Sorry, couldn’t help it. US Army taught me to be a keen observer.
Post Script to my own post,,,,,
Scott of Scott’s Model Workshop in California and on eBay (who I strongly recommend) says he should have all three new sets in one to two weeks here in the states. Merry Christmas to ALL!
Thank you for the update Toby. That is also where I buy my figures from. I noticed he already had the Romanians and Finns in the shop though. Seems that part of the shipment must’ve gotten to him already.
PS to my own Post Script:
All three new Strelets sets - Seminoles, US Volunteers & WSS Bavarian Firing Line - are now in the states. Just spent a nice fun hour ordering them from Scott’s Models Workshop plus five others. 3 more Strelets and 2 Mars. Just might be here for Christmas! Didn’t think that could be possible a week ago.
Strelets folks, please strive to have a safe, happy and as joyous Christmas as possible. (I have a feeling something will be breaking on this war soon.) I shall leave you alone for a time now about the WSS Dutch and Spanish still coming - I trust. Maybe start anew on you @ February??? I will also most likely mention the need for Re-releases of former sets Tecumseh and US Militia 1812 as well. (I have not seen where those last too are no longer able to be reissued, but please correct me if they are gone for good.)
Happy Holidays to ALL!

Ordered the new releases last sunday (7th decembre) and got them in Belgium last wednesday (11th decembre).
Great figures. The Bavarian Shooting line is perhaps one of the best in the WoSS series. Also, not my favorite period, but the two sets Seminole Wars are great figures. And at last I got some RIF war figures (both sides): splendid. Thank you Strelets (carry on & VIP)and Linear-A for the quick delivery!
