These might have cut the mustard 10 or 15 years ago, but they look very ho-hum and pedestrian alongside all the exciting and dynamic new stuff coming out of the "Young Turk" companies like Altores, Medieval Forge, Revolution, Mercury, Tartar, Tin Berlin et al.

Been saying it for a while now, the likes of Romeo, Pegaso and Andrea just seem to be living off past glories and hoping that "brand loyalty" will do it for them. But things move on and I think they're all getting left behind and in danger of becoming the next Verlinden unless they shake up their act. Because their recent releases have been less than inspiring.

Agree 100% with Steve's comments.

I am a big and traditional fan of Pegaso / Romeo Models having 60+ of their range in my G.A. but I wish they would up their game and try something a bit more inspiring. All my money these days is going to the very companies Steve refers to. Happy to redirect to our Italian friends if they start being a bit more creative (and to the current standard) in their releases.
