Ken from East of India provides this note on his wonderful Greek phalanx sets:

I had wanted to produce for a ages a complete phalanx. A phalanx with as many different varieties of figures involved in it as was commercially possible. Thanks to our loyal collectors the initial sets were a huge success! At the time, not even knowing the demand, we never thought of limiting them, so the sets (ACG01 to ACG04) will remain in production until at least the end of this year. I hope that gives enough of a notice period to collectors who still are missing these sets from their collection. On this note we decided to make the 4 new sets (ACG06 to ACG09) strictly limited to just 500 sets of each. That way if demand continues we can hopefully bring yet more shield designs, heads and variety to this popular range of phalanx figures. Of course we will still continue to produce other Greek figures for the range but outside of this static "phalanx" configuration.

A quick note on pike length : Our initial offerings for this Ancient Collection is a Greek phalanx around the time of the battles of Marathon (BC 490) and Plataea (BC479). At that time, with the armour we have chosen for our first warriors, a short pike would have been more historically accurate. However having spoken to a large number of collectors a few have the opinion that "a phalanx cannot be a phalanx without those huge long pikes". So we had a dilemma; but not really as we have decided that each set (ACG01 to ACG04 and ACG06 to ACG10) will contain both the long and short versions:. 3 figures 6 pikes. We hope therefore everyone will be happy!
