I just wanted to point out that I have been a member of this Forum for a couple of years now and have got to know some of you pretty good....Most times we all get along and we all support each other and if we have a difference of opinions we still respect each other.
This is my first Forum I have ever joined and it has been a VERY pleasent experience...because of this experience I decided to join a Military Antiques Forum, not mentioning any names of course......my experince has been quite different..... I have met the most ignorant stuck up people you would ever want to meet in a life time.....EVERY idea, every thought I have expressed on this Forum has been put down and made fun of... I am NOT a new collector to militaria, I have been collecting militaria for over 15 years and have been respected as such, I am however a new collector to Toy Soldiers (3 yrs)... BUT.... because I'm new to this FORUM I have been treated like a piece of gum on the bottom of someones shoe!!!! It seems the more money you have and the bigger collection you have gives you the right to abuse people.
Anyhow, I just wanted to tell my Treefrog Family that there is NO place like home, and I am VERY happy to have met you all, I don't get to shows very much so I haven't met very many of you in person but you are all friends never the less....
I'll tell you one thing there is a BIG difference between a toy soldier collector and a militaria collector. A toy soldier collector will help other Forum members if they can within reason...A prime example....I needed a K&C book once that I didn't have and a guy named Brad (JAZZEUM) was nice enough to not only give one of his own up, but, mailed it to me for free....that my friend I have never forgotten...you are a good man.....
Thanks Treefrog for having this Forum and thank you Forum Members for being such a good bunch of guys!!!
