Zvezda - New WW2 line.

[PDA]

I voted for both, because I can see that this gives more choice.

I am prepared to pay more for poses that are not made in big sets.

I imagine that people who just want the standard poses in the standard big sets will just carry on buying those sets, and the people that like a bit of variety will buy the small sets.

I hear what you're saying Paul, but when we're asked if we want to keep something we're quite passionate about, we're supposed to say "no it's okay - you can stop doing those figures now"?

And that´s why I voted for the big boxes

The last big box set to be released by Zvezda officially released. Looking forward to buying it!!

[steve_pickstock]

They've posted the box art on nthe facebook page - in the same album as the sprue pictures.

Thats true i think they had released the sprue pics 2 months ago cant quite remember. But when they have it on their official page its ready for sale . Apparently if you are viewing the Russian language zvezda page you can seem to purchase them now i think.

Great find, thanks for posting.

I really wish they selected a different standing firing pose, it is way too similar to the pose from the first German infantry Art of Tactic mini-kit and the pose is repeated twice on the main sprue.

Not a problem Mike! Happy to share my findings
