I have found it interesting to note the highest price on E-bay of pieces from my own collection, then dream about selling the entire collection at the highest price of each individual item for sale on E-Bay. It would certainly amount to a handsome sum of money.........

I think the answer is pretty simple; whilst I always keep the boxes, should you have a large collection and not want to keep the boxes, why not offer them to your fellow forum collectors for free + postage. This solves a number of issues; 1. No longer are the boxes 'sold' for large amounts of...

Hi All A friend's brother has passed on and he had a collection that the family has no interest in. I have volunteered to try and sell the items on their behalf. As I have little idea of demand or value, I thought I would post here as a starting point. All prices are open to offer, however...

Jack, that is so close to a self-portrait, I think it actually is........... Cheers Scott

Jack, I bought a Zero and accompanying ground staff. Cheers Scott

At the recent Brisbane K&C Dinner, Andy reminded all about how important the 'Bricks and Mortar' Toy Soldier shops are; in fact there are only 3 in the whole of Australia. So today I followed Andy's advice and spend 2 hours in my local Toy Solider shop. Not only did I start a complete new line...

Whilst the evening was extremely enjoyable, from the efforts of Martin (Jack) and the entire creative team behind the major diorama's, to all the entrants in the Diorama Competition, to the sponsorship of Brett and the Military Workshop through to the big boss himself, Andy; no-one could rise...

Wayne, no questions about Luftwaffe that I can recall, other than the fact Germans 'always sell well'. Cheers Scott

Wayne Whilst there any many more learned persons than myself at the Brisbane dinner and I did not take notes; I can recall the following in no particular order; 1. Will there be any Pirates? - No, not planned. 2. Will there be any Vikings? - No, not planned. 3. Will there be more American...

I can only repeat Mr Al (Lancer) comments; this diorama is simply superb. I cannot wait to see it in person. Cheers Scott

Dear Zulucollector I am very pleased to see you have finally obtained the fantastic landing craft. I wish I had one myself. Reading back through the threads, I can only wonder whether yours and any of the other 89 examples were actually 'damaged in transit'. Cheers Scott

Such wonderful figures depicting a lost time; this is the exact reason why the hobby is so enjoyable; scale, size, colour, medium etc is simply immaterial to the actual subject and sums up the exact reason why manufactures make a product and collectors buy the product. Just fantastic! Cheers...

I think 10 out of 10 is a bridge too far for this movie; 10 out of 10 for "Von Ryan's Express"; really 9 out of 10 as the hero got shot in the back in the final seconds. Battle of the Bulge is 10 out of 10 the first time you watch it, subtract a point for every time you watch it and I am down...
