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.
I get big box sets for $27. Vendors (not SR) is riping you off.
someone commented about the home page and mission statement. Who gives a crap? So what if the mission statement isn't updated? I don't give a flying f***. Strelts has dramatically increased output with great new sets. Should I be dissapointed that they have spent time in design and production instead of BS marketing? Strelets answers plenty of questions, and those that they don't answer are for a reason. Probably has something to do with competition. I asked a question above and it probably won't get answered. So what? Strelets has answered plenty of questions here. Maybe they are busy "doing" and have less time to answer questions than in the old days.
Second, I guess I better buy all the extra CW sets I want cause after reading the negative big box posts here there won't be any new CW ets for a while.
"Big Box" sets and repackaging is not indemic to Strelets. Look around next time you go to the store. Anyone who has other hobbies, such as Star Wars, can tell you that companies like Hasbro do this all the time. It's business 101 folks.
Be nice to hear something from Strelets at this point
Think we had a little modicom of clearing the air.
Cant be easy not being able to please everybody all the time.So LETS TURN DOWN THE HEAT and as they say in show biz....ask
a small remark just to make the accounting right: usually the BB sets should cost like 3, not 4 single sets, therefore just 66 % of your money should be wasted, not 75 %.
The production run of BB sets is about 1.000 boxes only, our guts feeling is that in several years' time they should be worth more than they are worth now, therefore compensating you for the rip off of today.
Well said strelets. It's true that the value will increase in time. I can also imagine that when the artillery sets and Turkish figures will come out people will realise they need more russians or allies to go with them. So those "wasted" figures you don't need right now might be very usefull in the future.
Concerning the price I would like to say the following: it's not strelets ripping you off it's the vendors asking a lot. I bought the CW Russian staff set for 19 euro 50. So thats 5 euros a set. If you consider that the same vendor sells the standard sets for 8, 50 you can see it's a deal. So I bought several staff sets for the grenadiers and artillery, more then the staff set.
pIETER I DINT THINK STRELETS REALIZE WHAT A SALES TIME BOMB THEY ARE SITTING ON BY HOLDING BACK THE CW TURKISH.The Turkish release will help span years 1852-1896 Anno domini.
Re: Re: Re: forum opinion - big box forumat is a Tip Off
You certainly butter no parsnips here (not that I'm saying the big box concept is a parsnip but more of a carrot for those who as you say own 3/4's of the figs on offer).
Strelets say's thier sets are worth investing. True, I believe them (the silver you pay today will water the gold carats of tomorrow)
With only a run of a thousand boxes it's not strictly speaking surplus stock. $_$ kerching! kerching!
Re: Re: Re: Re: forum opinion - big box forumat is a Tip Off
...and I'm sure those extra figs will start to repay the loan for being housed in such a big box.
No seriously I'm happy to see any CW range on offer by Strelets and make our hobby prosper for future generations to come (as I'm sure everybody does here).

Dear S Kol,
I hope you'll jump in and add your opinion at the top of the page. Strelets is looking for ways to increase profits from existing production and Big Boxes and there may be some ways to do it by putting together different combinations ... Please jump up there! All opinions should certainly be welcome.
