Hi Tommy,
Your Boxer and Alamo collections are awesome.
The library in the background is very impressive too.
I think I see someone perched on a ladder behind the Alamo collection (last picture).
Thanks very much for sharing.
Raymond.
Hi Gary: My first Trophy sets were a dragon gun and one of the hand to hand Alamo sets in 1993. I think Len went all out on the Alamo front since the one from K&C wasn't much then. He probably made less than 10 sets of Alamo walls. Len would send Mike Laeding a lot of Boxer and Alamo sets which weren't big sellers in 2000. That is where my collections came from. The price for the Boxer gate and walls climbed to $600 later. Thanks for the kind words.
Hello "W T Allison":
My first Trophy sets (starting in 1992) were mainly Zulu War sets followed by a lot of Sudan War sets. I still have "tons" of Trophy Zulu War sets. But I decided to sell nearly all my Trophy Sudan War sets on eBay in 2005 & I only got about 50% of what I paid for them. When I sold the last two sets of the Trophy Sudan War to a fellow Forum member in NYC, NY in 2007 I got a fairly good profit on them. Ah, if I had only waited another two years to sell all those Trophy Sudan War sets in 2005!!

Hello Tommy:
I have to agree with my friend Raymond 100% that your trophy Boxer Rebellion & Alamo sets are indeed awesome! I started to get into the Trophy Boxer sets back in mid 1990's, but then decided to trade them in for the Streets of Old Hong Kong sets by King & Country. As I recall the Boxer gate/wall section went for about $300.00 each. Splendid photos!!!!!!
