Those are very hard to find. Haven't seen it on ebay for awhile. If you find one, get ready to pay big bucks.

I agree that piece is a hard one to find and if you do find it get ready for a bidding war that would break my piggy bank!

I Have 2-Brand NEW in Original Boxes; but it was 2-Years ago ; someone got almost $1600.00US, on E-Bay, for that Set "WINTER"! I'm holding on to my 2-Sets; also, I have one Left, SUMMER 88th Gun Set; I the other one to Australia Man Last Year and gotten $1400.00US for the Summer Set!

The summer 88 WS57 plus both gun crews (8 men) can be had for $800 at http://www.toysoldiersgallery.com/z...?main_page=index&cPath=69_1_2&sort=20a&page=9

But this is not the earlier sets with 4 man crews winter http://www.toysoldiersusa.com/cgi-local/show_detail.cgi?item_id=WS024W and summer http://www.toysoldiersusa.com/cgi-local/show_detail.cgi?item_id=WS020

I have seen the winter 88 only twice on e-bay and cannot recall the selling price. I managed to get the WS57 a few years ago, but even then the WS020 and WS024 were out of reach.

I have WS57 complete, it is a nice set.

Also have WS 20 (Summer set with full crew), again nice set.

I concur with everyone else, they are all expensive as can be.

I have never been able to touch the winter one.

The winter one on ebay will fetch about a grand. Privately, I've seen them go for a lot less.

Sorry mate, I'm confused, are you saying you have one, and this is a private collector, so he knows how much he ought to be spending, and how much it is going to cost him, he specifically asked me to put up a post on this Forum, because he cannot find one anywhere else, just the other day he won a Winter Tiger on Ebay

Hello! First of all, if you could buy the WINTER WS20 Original for $1000.00US or Less then go for it! Last Year and Prior Years, these were selling for around $1200.00US -to -$1400.00US! Its Supply and Demand, if you want it so bad then Bid for it, on E-Bay! The Highest Bidder Wins, if he meets the Reserve, put on by the Seller! Its your Perogative, what you're willing to Pay for it! K&C OLDER Original Sets, was bringing Higher Prices on E-Bay!

Was it a sl set?

No, it wasn't. It was for Stanlingrad/Bulge, before they had SLs. The first SL was for the Stug. However, not many were made. Here's a photo of WS 24W. The W is actually a misnomer because there was no other version of WS 24. WS 20 is the summer version.

Thanks for the info brad.

I wasn't trying to argue wih John Btw people

I can't see how what I said could come accross as argument, but I am sorry anyways


Shake hands John?

 

[arnhem44mad]

I have been asked to let you all know that the peson who was looking for the Winter 88 set, won the original Winter Tiger on ebay, not the newer SL one, he already has two of them, he also has 3 SL Tunisian Tigers, and many original tanks, Panthers and such

Scott, I don't think anyone thought you were. Well, maybe one person. I was a bit confused by that post as well, so you'r not on you're own.

Your friend sounds like he's got himself a fair old collection.

Scott,

No need to apologize in my view.

 

[arnhem44mad]

Thankyou
Yeah he has, he's also got loads of Trophy Napoleonic sets which he is selling some of, most of it to me because as soon as I hear he is selling some I am right there!

He's the one who sold me the 'La Haye Sainte set!

He has tonnes of King and Country

Old and new!
And doubblers
