It is a pleasure to have news again, and of this type.
The figures are great Andreas. The Roman officer who accompanies Scipion catches my attention, especially for the use of a circular shield (perhaps it is a Hellenistic vestige).
Frankly, I'm looking forward to you starting to address the theme of the Punic Wars (the first, the second and the third).
In the company of the multiple Roman legions from the end of the Republic (César, Pompeyo, Crassus, Marco Antonio...) it is a beautiful panorama of the future.
We will eagerly await your news, both in terms of the launch of the announced news, as well as future challenges.
For my part, I certainly fully agree with what the rest of the group members say. I believe that your efforts should continue to focus on producing the highest number of figures per set. I would not like the introduction of other diverse elements to reduce the number of figures or increase the cost of the product.
What's more, I prefer that you continue directing all your efforts to expedite, as far as possible, the placing on the market of the announced sets.
Definitely, my vote is directed to the production of the greatest number of figures, in the shortest possible time.
Obviously, in all aspects of life, we always look for the best at the best price.
I fully understand the arguments that Andreas raises, and I sincerely believe that the option you propose to maintain prices, or at least not raise them excessively, reducing the number of poses and figures, may be quite reasonable.
Especially if we take into account that this option has already been traditionally used by other brands.
Also taking into account that this mode of production could speed up and increase the offer, as you have just confirmed in another line of this forum, I am definitely in favor of your proposal.
I love that Andreas provides us with information about what's new.
He has just revealed to us the mystery of another of the promised republican legions.
At the same time confirming that Marco Licinio Crassus, like Caesar and Pompey, will have his own Legion (Set 67), he informs us that Marco Antonio's legions in Egypt will also appear on the scene (Set 66).
Who knows if this will mean that Lepidus and Octavian also have their chance.
In short, a promising series of figures from the Republican era begins.
Personally, I love this way of approaching Linear-a's work.
Starting from specific historical moments, they develop and create the appropriate figures, thus covering a period of history.
To finish my comment, I would like to propose, in relation to the extensive period of the Roman Republic, other scenarios to take into account:
Caudine Forks. Baecula. Cannae. Metaurus. Zama. pydna. Aqua Sextiae. Jugurtha War. Numantia. .... Can you think of other scenarios?.
Anyway, dreaming is free, but with Linear-a, it might be possible.
I am also curious to know how an illusion, or a passion, ends up becoming a business adventure of these characteristics.
How do you get in contact with the sculptor, with the company that produces the figures, with the creator of the boxes?
Other interesting questions would also be those related to the number of boxes that are planned for each set, and if the same number of boxes is produced in each set...
Anyway, there are many questions, but I don't know if Andreas would be willing to reveal all his secrets...
Your decision seems to me, in addition to being very respectable, very appropriate and in accordance with the general criteria transmitted by the vast majority of those of us who expressed our opinion in the survey.
In this way, the sets will focus specifically on the battle, and will also cover a number of poses that would not have been given if you had opted for a single set.
Now, I hope that the legions of the Optimates (Pompey) are up to the task, and contemplate at least the same variety of figures. I would appreciate it, Andreas, if you could clarify the reason why no decision has been made on this set yet.
On the other hand, I hope too, that the other promised legions of republican Rome, which in principle are a surprise, do not fall into oblivion.
After thinking about it a lot, during the weekend, and reading the messages from my colleagues with whom I share a hobby, I think that, indeed, if I have to choose, I prefer that the sets about Caesar and Pompey contain figures that can be framed in legions deployed embattled.
On the other hand, still being a surprise, I hope that the other sets corresponding to the legions correspond to republican Rome, and more specifically with the legions facing Pyrrhus and Hannibal.
If I have understood the question correctly, the question is to decide on two sets (before battle, and in battle) for each legion (Caesar and Pompey), or only one set in the battle for Caesar and another for Pompey, to focus too in other Legion sets.
It's like asking a child which of the two sweets you offer him he chooses.
Personally, the confrontation in the civil wars between Caesar and Pompey appeals to me a lot, but I am also attracted to other legions of republican Rome (facing Pyrrhus, or facing Hannibal).
On the other hand Andreas, your question is a bit ambiguous, and it raises several doubts:
What are those other legion sets you're referring to?
Opting for a set for each set (Caesar and Pompey), plus the other sets of the legion, would work on the sets from before battle be resumed later?
Although I have already privately conveyed my thanks to Andreas, I believe that the fairest and most convenient thing is to express them publicly.
I am aware of the great difficulties and problems that Linear-A faces every time it tries to push forward and release a new set. Especially in the latest releases, in which they have had to re-produce one of the sets (infantry phalanx egypt set 050), because the first production was confiscated by Russian troops, at the time it was being transported from the Ukraine.
For this reason, I sincerely appreciate your efforts (personal and economic), I appreciate that you produced the aforementioned set again, and I appreciate that it also finally contains 32 figures, instead of the 24 initially indicated.
In short, it is a pleasure to follow in your footsteps, as well as to purchase your products, and wish you the most successful experience in this difficult and complicated world of creating and selling figurines.
I completely agree with Rudwa. Frankly, I think that the option of adding the figure of Julius Caesar in the set dedicated to the Roman legionnaires is not the most appropriate.
In my particular case, when faced with a set of my interest, I usually purchase a number of no less than 10 boxes, it would be absurd to have a large number of representative figures of Caesar, also losing the possibility that these figures correspond to legionaries, which which would obviously be more useful for my armies.
This circumstance, obviously, is applicable to Cleopatra, or any other leader who wants to represent.
Therefore, definitely, my option clearly opts for a specific set that includes these leaders and part of their staff, or bodyguards.
Thank you very much Andreas, both for your generosity in revealing data about future sets, and for the fact that they are dedicated to covering the indicated periods.
I do not fit joy in me. You make me very happy with this news, really. Both by Caesar's Romans and by those of Pirro and Hannibal's war.
Now, I think that if you have decided to enter the aforementioned period of republican Rome (legions against Pirro and Hannibal), you will have no choice but to start thinking about the Punic armies.
Certainly Andreas, your information makes me more uncertain.
You could add to your generous information if the republican Rome to which you refer would be linked to the time of Cleopatra, or if, on the contrary, we could expect Roman armies that could face both the Samnites and Pyrrho's army.
I love to make you laugh Andreas. By the way, I'll probably buy a few more boxes from the Samnite infantry before they're all gone. Now, as Brist indicates, it wouldn't be bad if you gave us a little clue about that future line.
Andreas, I have a question. When you indicate that you are working on the delivery of the 4 new sets, and you reflect number 50 (ptolemaic phalanx) among them, is it an error? Do you really want to indicate the number 51 (Syracuyse infantry)?
Or is your intention really to put both up for sale?
