A large line from England (almost 300 packs, and some stuff from the WW1 line is usable). I must admit to being something of a Peter Pig fan-boy. Their infantry particularly shows the designer's improvement as a sculptor - the higher the number of the pack, the better the figure. They are going back and re-doing the earlier numbers to bring them up to snuff, but I'm not sure which packs these are - I think they are re-doing important stuff like German riflemen first, and leaving more esoteric packs for later. Packaging is friendlier than OG - you buy packs of 8 figures (2-3 heavy weapons with crews) instead of bags of 50. The new stuff mixes very well with Old Glory - the old stuff was larger and had a 'cartoonish' look.

Peter Pig's vehicles are a mixed bag. The newer stuff (Panthers, Shermans) is awesome - probably the best out there right now. However, be aware that PP vehicles are scaled a bit bigger than other companies, so they don't mix well with other companies' models of the same thing. Some of the older vehicle models are pretty rough, though.

The drawback with PP in the US is cost. The above-mentioned vehicles will run you 1/2 again to twice what other companies charge. A Peter Pig Sherman costs $10.25, while a comparable Battlefront one will set you back $6.50. Another drawback is that you have to get them through Brookhurst Hobbies, which has a somewhat patchy customer service reputation. I've never had a problem ordering from them, but others have (and voiced their complaints on r.g.m.h.).
