Dragon should just re-release the Gen 2 figure sets.

dragon should fire their managers... If they continue to just exist without any innovation the dragon will die...

Not to fully defend Dragon, but they are making the most of the investment put into the creation of the molds. With the upcoming release of 1/35 paratrooper gliders, this looks to be a wise step in terms of business. These figures are not easily found today, and do represent a great option for German paratroopers. I myself don't have the figures, and am considering a few Italian and Desert based dioramas, and the figures would work perfectly.

I already have all of these sets and some of the figgies are very nice. I will never understand the logic behind what they decide to re-release so I don't waste any of my already limited brainpower on that issue. This mass release of paras makes me feel like I am being challenged almost to build a German para dio. J

It's good having several similar sets released at once. While it's nice to have "dioramas in a box" like MasterBox does, the truth is that master modelers like Jerry Rutman combine figures from different sets that can be used OOB or modified. That's how you build a truly outstanding diorama. I'm nowhere in Jerry's league, but I combined several sets in my Normandy diorama, including the superb Hohenstaufen Division set.

Well, I bought that 6215 - Fallschirmjager 8cm Mortar Team (Italy 1944) kit for the figure campaign, the mortar was wrong. It was from another set, a smaller mortar. Hopefully they fixed it & included the mortar that's advertised on the box! That kit is pretty decent.

I believe that mortar included in the kit is the 8cm kurtz, or short, mortar developed for Fallschirmjager. It fired the same ammo, just a shortened barrel. So it could be the better mortar for this figure set.

My Grandma told me that if I can't say something nice, say nothing. I think I'll listen to her advise this time as I'm still fighting over parts with customer service over 2 years now.
