Not only that, but these guys must have been pioneering internet commerce way before most of the world, clearly not people to mess with. |

Reading the various threads on Dakka, it appears that these are clearly FW recasts. I doubt that any lawsuit will be able to touch them, though, as China law is very.... lax, on this kind of thing. (The same problems happen with a number of areas beyond wargaming miniatures - such as KO Transformers that I am familiar with, and many others. In fact, one of the threads mentioned a fake Apple Store... not just the electronics, but the entire store was fake, and only got shut down as it didnt comply with other regulations). Bear in mind that these are cast with several unknown factors - the quality of the resin, the quality of the casts, shipping and packaging quality, for example - as well as the fact that they are likely copies of miniatures, not master molds. |

L4 are you mistaking Reagan for Patton? Actual things Ronnie said: "As the leader of the West and as a country that has become great and rich because of economic freedom, America must be an unrelenting advocate of free trade" "Well, the way up and out of the trade deficit is not protectionism, not bringing down the competition, but instead the answer lies in improving our products and increasing our exports." Ronald Reagan 8/2/1986 "Free and fair trade brings growth and opportunity and creates jobs." Ronald Reagan 8/2/1986 Kinda funny how things turn out when you allow any concept to go to far

I'm not sure there's many accurate definitions of free trade that include piracy though. |

No Westside, Reagen off the recond said something about bombing the Russkies ... Patton just wanted to rearm the Germans and, along with the Allies, or at least the US, attack East !!!
