Those look very nice :) I like them.

Sehr schön da hab ich schon Ideen 💡 für die nächsten Dioramen

Gentlemen, a question: is the figurine an optio and what is it holding in its hand? Thank you

Dear AMMPictor,

If you click on the link to the 'linear-A shop' above, choose 'shop figures' at the top (you may have to dismiss an info. box to see this) and then select the logo of linear-A figures you'll see the listing of current and imminent sets and can scroll to set #066. There is an image of the rear of the box which can be enlarged by viewing in its own tab. The figure is listed as a legatus and holds his staff as a symbol of his rank. I am not sure whether it has an eagle head as such figures are often depicted as holding.

Regards, James

p.s. Another marvellous looking set of figures Andreas and co. Looking forward to these and the rest of the late republican Romans!

Grazie James 👍🏻😊

Bonjour à tous, voilà une excellente nouvelle, qui me ravi beaucoup!

Au 30 juillet donc.

Wonderful! Congratulations and thank you Andreas and all at linear-a.

Your wonderful sets keep coming through at a steady rate. I note with some excited anticipation that #s 24 and 64 are not far behind this one.

Regards, James

Nice Roman figurines.
I see that the Assyrians have advanced a lot ...
Only good news ..
Thank's Andreas !

Bon, je suis faible, j'ai craqué et commander un set de cette référence.

Bonjour à tous,

Je pense que vous ne serez pas déçu, en tous cas, moi, je ne l'ai pas été: très belles figurines! Et maintenant j'attends celles sur les autres triumvirs.

Cordialement à tous

PSR has reviewed the set. Some of their comments I find offensive, so I won't even link to it. Let's just say I sent an email expressing my disappointment with their conjecturing, which could easily have been explained if they had viewed this thread.

La critique est constructive, qu'elle soit négative ou positive, elle permet d'avancer.

Critique based on facts is. Critique based on conjecture not based in facts is not, this was the latter kind.

Here is the reply I got from PSR:

Hi Claus

Well whatever you might like to think, you are incorrect. Our box, which we bought in the normal way from a retailer, had exactly what we described in the quantities stated. If your quality control is that poor than that can hardly be attributed to our poor research.

No mention of the bonus figure was made in your product description, and you can hardly expect your customers to have read everything on your forum, so again, we review what the customer actually gets.

Best wishes

First of all, they refer to me as if I am the owner of Linear-A, and then talk of me having poor quality control. Pretty ironic, when they write to a private person. Shows they would seem to lack quality control of their own. The poor research I referred to in my original email, was about them not taking a few minutes to just look at the Linear-A forum, where sets are described. Their poor research right now, seems to be that they don't know who I am, or rather who I am not: The owner.

So all in all, I laughed a bit, and thought I'd share that.

Btw, Linear-A, since I am now, it would seem, part of the ownership, I'd like some of that sweet sweet money... and greater influence of which sets get available when... and what sets get researched... I could go on... :) :) :)

It is not about the score given. It is about this paragraph:

Special mention must be made of the last two poses. To begin with, only one is mentioned on the box (the first one), while a figure of a man standing with shield resting on the ground does not appear in the set, presumably due to production problems encountered after the boxes were printed. Instead we find the identical pose to figure nine, except that his baton ends with a cobra-head rather than just square like the first legatus or legate. Legates were essentially commanders of a whole legion, but we were not aware that they were usually given, or took, batons or whatever these two figures are holding. Once again, this might reflect their own local custom – we simply do not have enough information on that to contradict what has been modelled here – and in particular we cannot comment on what significance if any is attached to the cobra-head on one pose. It smacks of an emergency 10th pose when something went wrong with the first choice, but that is just speculation. What it does mean is you get fewer figures than the box promises (36 rather than 40), and four legates for 32 soldiers, which is a bit excessive by any standard.

I have added the emphasis.

It would have been VERY simple to look at the forum, and see the explanation. It would have been VERY simple to reach out to Linear-A. Instead they choose to make a conjecture based on nothing...
