Can't give that one up! Great collection though, I have not fully dived into glossy sets, I pick up a piece here and there.

Not a problem. I was just responding to your mamaluke craving.
 
I just wanted to thank Ed. :) I offered to trade him for a single figure, and he ended up swapping me the whole set, and throwing in two camel corps figures. Ed, I am on the lookout for some of the items you are looking for, and will try to get you a nice thankyou gift for those camels (which are being passed along to our good friend, and big camel afficionado, Clive Gande [Lurchio]).

That superbe pick up brings tears to my eyes! It amazes me what transactions take place in the King & Country underworld. Hey Larry-nice A-6 Intruder purchase too. Who are you going to have do the restoration work by the way? Way to go & NICE SHOOTING!

Hang Tough,
Marc
 
Nice pickup Larry. The old K & C just has a certain charm to it.

Congrats!

See you in late September.
 
Lawrence mate,
Excellent pick up you sly dog. :):) We will have to call you "The Poacher" always nipping around picking up the good collections on the quiet.
Seriously, could not have gone to a nicer bloke. Will catch up soon. Don't bring those toys to Chicago or you won't go home with them.
Cheers cobber, Howard
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was a long search to find the fuel bowser. The gentleman, who purchased the entire series directly from Andy at the Chicago show many years ago, did not want to break-up the group, so I bit the bullet and bought the whole collection. The good news is that I can now scratch the fuel bowser off the list - which leaves me only a couple hundred K&C pieces left on the list :D:eek:

JW, I asked about your NE set and he did not collect that series, but he will ask his friends if they have one - keep your fingers crossed.

Louis, Just refinanced my mortgage to help defray the costs - again :eek::D

Marc, how did you know I got the A6? I will post photos when I get that one, unless my wife gets to it first:p

Brad, Yes, there is something about the old pieces - they are not as realistic as the newer models, but bring us closer to the memories of "toy soldiers" of our youth. Speaking of youth, congrats on your son entering his freshman year

Martyn, the gentleman has the original zulus from Trophy including the Storehouse and Hospital. I asked him about the set you are looking for (Right side of the Horn) and will let you know if I can pry that set.

Tom, Congrats on the First of the Few - don't know if they will fit with the Junkers:p but I am sure your son won't mind:)

Happy Hunting to All
Lawrence

Howard,
Thanks mate. Always wanted to say that line:)
It was a lucky day for me - every now and then someone throws us old dogs a bone or two. Who knows, when you finish your K&C matte collection, you may want to begin collecting the gloss:D and something tells me some of these figures may head south;)
Have a great day cobber - Australians do have a way with words - :) All the best, Lawrence
