It's a shame that the plubishers of this great magazine refuse it to print in English.
Alone for that I shall not buy it.........maybe for once in a lifetime

This magazine's so good it's worth learning French for...

 

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

I bought it there's 3 days, as french is quite easy.
There's no a lot of Figurine Magazine in the world, i count 3 (one french, one US and one Spanish), we can include Military Modelling, yes there is also and the others Russian publication, East Europa, etc... but relly confidential and very hard to get.
I have all the Figurine magazine , number 1 to number 100, and now i'm very disappointing with the quality of this magazine, not at the Top.
Bad quality of the photos of the New Releases, poor text and reviews, all Pegaso are superb, all figures from advertiser had big photos and a really good review, for example read and see the article concerning the review of the 200mm Bust from Alexandros Models Vasily (i bought one) you will understand what i'm writting.
In fact, it seems that the publisher prefer working on other Title like Steelmaster, Wingmaster, charge Utile....or books.
In my own opinion, the number 100 is perhaps the last one !!!!
It was a really beautiful and interesting magazine, with news and articles at the top. Now is going on the bad direction.
Please Mister Breffort, let us dream again...Just a little effort.

I think as a commercial venture it has to bend and sway with current trends which is reasonable and to be fair has maintained a very high standard throughout Look at Mil Mod under Ken Jones editorship over the last ten years if you want to see how a magazine can decline from a high in the late 80's to mid to late nineties.

 

[Mirofsoft]

Yes I just bought the catalog N°100

It's also easy to maintain an high standard if you really want !

Simples, learn French!

I've done that. But it sunk so easely out of your brain. It is not the world wide lanquage, so why not in the worlds most spoken lanquage.
I know the French are so with there lanquage, that there is no other for them.

[Piotrec]

I am with you Marc on this. But at the same time I am so tempted by this publications and I do not know how much longer I can resist.

 

[yellowcat]

I don't speak French. I just look at the pictures.

 

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

Hey Marc, all US people eat only hamburger, English people have always tea at 5 o'clock, and Italian eat only spaghettis.....
We made this magazine in French , we were the first but making it in English and why not is Spanish needs money, and with no more than 7500/10000 sells for 3 month it's not sure it's possible.
Last question, why Osprey doesn't made a french version of their MAA, Swiss, Canadian, Belgian, North-Africa... will appreciate.

 

[Zastrow.cuirassier]

I forgot Marc, i try to speak, French, Spanish, English, German and also i can speak not like the other language Dutch, Italian, and Russian.
I'm French, you right Marc, French are so with there language, that there is no other for them !!!!!

 

[megroot]

Last question, why Osprey doesn't made a french version of their MAA, Swiss, Canadian, Belgian, North-Africa... will appreciate.

Simple answer: they sell alot more in English then in other lanquage's.
And I'm also speak german, english, and un petit peu france,
The last not enough to read a magazine.
In my simple thinking I believe you sell more then 10.000 in 3 months when it is in English.

Sorry if i stepped on some toes, that whas not my intention.

[Blind Pew]

It is a shame, I don't know how often I've said it. The sales they must be losing don't bear thinking about....
