Great piece—but the sword's slightly bent. Nothing serious, just a little battle fatigue! A quick straightening and it’ll be ready to charge again.

As with any military maneuver, there’s always the risk of casualties — trust me, I’ve seen my fair share of battlefield amputations! But fear not — with a heroic drop of superglue, your brave Mameluke will be back in action and swinging his sword in no time!

I don’t know—I’ve never seen it before. Martyn might know; he was talking about color dots in one of his previous posts. It is DC issue for sure.

Yes, it looks like the later production piece with scenic base made in 2006

This is Set BD 12. Deadly Thrust.

and it is not Testosterone deficiency syndrome :)

I belived they both called FAR

I agree — Len made two versions of the gate, and the later one is definitely a bit better. I have both: one is currently sleeping somewhere in storage, and the other is sitting conveniently in a box on the shelf. I’ll post some photos when time (and motivation) permits! 😄

EL 17T Bedford Forrest Attacking Union Artillery Soldier — what a wonderful piece! I’ve always liked that one. Last time it surfaced on eBay a couple of years ago, it brought around $150… and probably a few broken hearts from underbidders. 😄

The best remedy for saving money — or finding something cheap — is good old-fashioned legwork. Works better than any coupon code!

Rare late version indeed.

EW10A,B,C. Excellent Len's creations. Yes, they’re rare — almost as rare as the 10th Hussars. But if you're ready to pay around $170 a piece, I don’t think finding them will be your biggest problem.

Sure, wrestling is show biz — but so is politics, and people still get worked up over that every day! 😄 Yeah, it’s scripted, but so are movies, and nobody says, “Nah, I can’t enjoy Die Hard, it’s fake.” And let’s be honest — in both wrestling and politics, it’s not always about what’s real...

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but for many people, Hulk Hogan wasn’t just a "minor personality" — he was a cultural icon of the 1980s and helped bring pro wrestling into the mainstream. Yes, wrestling is scripted, but the athleticism, showmanship, and connection with fans were very real...

The rule of thumb is—if the price is good, don’t negotiate… just hit 'Buy It Now' and run before someone else does! 😄
