My good personal friend Larry Pegasus has told me the French 1940 and French World War One sets have been shipped from China! They are expected to arrive in California, USA tomorrow! They will take about a week to clear customs and then will be shipped to their headquarters in Montclair, California, USA.
From Montclair the sets will be shipped worldwide to various importers and distributors. Then hobby shops will order them and they will be shipped to hobby shops. So they should be in some shops as soon as the middle of November, and others, particularly in other countries may have to wait as long as early January, 2011.
The good news of course, is that they are finished and you only have to wait for them to arrive. Ask for them at you local hobby shop so you will know they will order some. Remember, both sets can be used for the Second World War since both sets of uniforms and equipment and weapons were used in both wars. The Second World War sets can be used for France 1940, Norway 1939/1940 and even up to 1944 as Vichy, Colonial or even French Foreign Legion soldiers.

I am waiting for them!
They look really beautiful and a WW2 french infantry set was missed for a looong time in this scale!
Thanks Pegasus!
Modelmaker, these are very nice sets and they should be here soon.

At least plastic figures can be salvaged, the water won't hurt them.
