Black Cat Russian grenadiers. Are they no longer being made?
also, has anyone ever managed in the UK to purchase the Britain’s Detail figures remade in South America - DSG perhaps?
Thanks

I believe that the Russian Grenadiers were only run once and proved to be very slow sellers. At one time the manufacturer was selling them on eBay for $9.00 USD per bag in an effort to reduce his inventory. Toy Soldier HQ (USA) still lists the Russians. www.angelfire.com/biz/toysoldierhq/Tssd.html

Love these guys. Have lots still in the bag but UK postage puts a big dent in any trade.

Yes, they are the ones. Interesting that they didn’t sell well, and not directly available in the UK
Anybody seen or heard of the ?DSG? Ranges in the UK?
Thanks

Marctpf, You seem to be far behind the production of plastic figures with your wants. The products you seek have been available years ago and plentiful at the time, several UK retailers stocked the DSG line and at least two had the Black Cat Russian Grenadiers. Most USA made figures are not easily available over here as the cost of shipping generally makes it not worth the effort to try, plus customs duty on top. The Black cat figures didn't sell well as everyone was waiting for the enemy set to come out, but it never did The DSG range was easily available in the UK by a couple of retailers on Ebay , I think some of the sets might still be on there but at a higher cost. And people like me that imported them direct. You can buy DSG figures direct from a supplier in Argentina - Redskorpio, they have a website and ship worldwide. DSG hasn't made anything new for a few years so maybe he has given up on production. Redskorpio is sold out of some sets, so this might be an indication that they are no longer available. What DSG sets are you trying to find , just the Deetail ones or the DSG originals ?

Yes, you may be right. My 54mm acquisition phase continues, but I am probably out of date. I will have a google for redskorpio and see what can be found. Thanks for the lead

Will trade Russians for Britains 16th lancers or Scots greys. Have lots. Repaints or in need of repaint fine.
