PSR says:

Also new are four boxes from RedBox. They are:

72156 – Tudor Billmen and Men-At-Arms
72157 – Tudor Pikemen
72158 – Scottish Army mid XVI century Light/Heavy Infantry
72159 – Scottish Army mid XVI century Pikemen
While release dates are not known, past form for these manufacturers suggests all will appear at retailers very soon.


Yes! Pass me my cheque book! Soon !

Sad. If this had happened maybe even five years ago, my armies would look different. As it stands, that train long ago left the station.

robert Piepenbrink, that, sadly, is always true in this hobby. :-(

I started out using a Milton Bradley board game's figures for the bulk of my early fantasy armies. I sold those off, to raise money for a charity. I ended up replacing all of those armies with new toys (and better sized figures, actually).

I've been buying up figures to build various armies, using different manufacturers, but I am always finding better figures, several times each year, than what I have in my current armies. Other figures that I sold off, that I really enjoyed, are now OOP and unobtainable.

The future is so bright, these young'un's will need to wear shades… They can get/make STL files, and scale these digital files to the precise size they want/need. Heck, even us old farts could chuck everything we have, and replace them with custom-sized 3D printed figures if we really wanted to (and we had the time and money to build out new armies using this new technology -- and less brittle resin, $$$$)!

You have to close your eyes, and pull the trigger. Then, of course, you have to live with your choices, and try to be happy with them. LOL!

I am happy with my choices, mostly. I miss a number of special figures I sold off. I could replace them (I think -- I haven't sourced them for several years, now, so not certain they're still made…), but I've decided they're not worth the money, nor the effort. Cheers!
