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.
Strelets should have been straight with us from the start.. and told us there was not going to be any Turkish Infantry other then the CW Thin red line set... at that point we could have argued and fought over the remainder of the 1000 boxes that were actually produced to get the turks we needed for the RTW..... Not
discontented.... well actually throughly ****** off...
it's a bit surprising to see you complaining about lack of Turks with all those boxes of the CW Turks that you've got!
RTW series was intended to be an optional bonus to those who invested in Thin Red Line Turks.
Best regards,
Strelets
Gentlemen, correct me if I'm wrong, but when the "Thin red Line" big box was out we didn't even know that a RTW range was planned. How were we supposed to buy lots of boxes in advance to obtain the infantry for a range that wasn't even there? And furthermore, to reproach Hank for being a good customer (and a very good one indeed), well... that is beyond me.
This simply can't be serious.
I really hope this is in jest. You can't treat good customers this way. Especially when your RTW sets have no other realistic uses besides that conflict.
Strelets may have its reasons, but I simply see no reason to not release the Turkish infantry separately especially considering the demand shown here for them. Even if one where to buy the Big Box for the Crimean War there are far too few turkish figures there to possibly justify buying it solely for them.
Please reconsider Strelets, and note that I for one will think twice before Purchasing any set for the RTW knowing that one of the major forces is missing.
Merhaba! Firat, seni çok özledim! But strelets even make only Revolution Red Army and no White Army sets is strange this rouskie logic ? no. One side is not uncommon for them to produce.So what hope have we for Ottomans? yes.
Teşekkürler Hank. You are more Turkish than me. That is for sure.:) I think Strelets don't like Ottoman/Turkish. Or they still think that Ottoman won't sell. That's why they even don't mention the Ottomans in the "Thin redline" box art. They think that forum posters are a small group who are minorty and doesn't reflect their actual customer base.
Maybe they are right. I don't know.
Ottoman/Turkish are the most underrepresented in our plastic 1/72 world. Strelets had a good chance. But they dont use it.
and so the 1/72 gateway to "the orient" is closed again.histoire is distorted again by misrepresentation and under representation.
