Spielwarenmesse Nürnberg 2020 Nuremberg Toy Fair

[Erich von Manstein]

The annual trade fair started today, thus a good occasion to summarise this years hobby news.

As always, I will primarily list relevant 1/72 plastic vehicles, ships, buildings and figures.
Since most remaining figure manufacturers are well covered with their own threads at Bennos, I will not repeat their future releases here.

Fresh 2020 news are underlined, other kits are older announcements.
Hope you'll all find an exciting item (or two...)!

More news will be listed when available and links to picture galleries will follow soon as well.
We can definitely expect further IBG, FtF, Uni-Models & ModelCollect news and hopefully some signs of life from Takom, Roden, Preiser, Mirage, T-Model or Riich.

[marc zijp]

News from Preiser? I gave up all my hope for their once promised 1/72 sets. The D-day rangers, lot of Germans, some soviet, us paras...

[marc zijp]

This seems to be the Preiser list for 2020. No 1/72. But perhaps some scenery for decorating houses. 1/87 but that should’ve be a problem in this case.
https://www.preiserfiguren.de/download. ... n_2020.pdf
Perhaps I can find more.
Thanks for the update(s) Erich!

[marc zijp]

Did some more searching in old Preiser announcements.
Some civilian sets in 2015 in 1/72.
https://www.preiserfiguren.de/download. ... reiser.pdf
Some military in 1/87(!) I missed (but gives me false hope of course) 2014.
https://www.preiserfiguren.de/download. ... ospekt.pdf
Quite a lot medieval stuff: medieval market. 1/87(!) 2016.
https://www.preiserfiguren.de/download. ... reiser.pdf

Can’t even find those once announced 1/72 military sets?

[marc zijp]

Did another even better look. All the 1/72. But can’t find the above mentioned civilians.
I just don’t get Preisers policy (like no one can?): a lot of these sets never hit the market as far as I know?

Note, that all 1/72 Heller figures simply are repops of older boxes. Some of them are very poor copies from other manufacturers.
Read more about this. http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/ManufacturerList.aspx?id=9

...Preiser...

Marc,
before this deviates too far off, I was actually hoping Preiser would show one or more of their announced 1/72 sets at this current fair (which could suggest pending release). We surely all know that they entirely focus on 1/87 and unfortunately are very slow with their 1/72 figures.

[MABO]

Thanks very much Erich, for you informations it is allways a pleasure to read all the news.
