King & Country Dispatches -- May 2025 (1 Viewer)

I have a lot of Imperial Productions and Regal Enterprises Māori, local militia and British troops from the New Zealand Wars from when i lived in NZ. Not sure there would be a worldwide market though. Very niche.

I do need to catch up on the 'Streets of Rome' range as I acquired about the first 10 sets plus all the Last Post buildings. I have a couple more buildings stuck in customs from Jakob in Denmark. Once they arrive I will start to catch up. The Nelson and Kelly sets would be must haves if I can afford them.

Thanks Gary, yes I'm being very bias here, however I think of K&Cs ALH and other fringe ranges that have become popular over time. Collectors like yourself are are always looking for something different and the Musket Wars during Victorian times down here comes to mind.

I live in Tauranga (NZ) these days and near several famous battle sites and the history of these conflicts is amazing when you can walk these sites.

Hope you enjoyed your time in NZ?

Cheers Toddy

Always look forward to K&Cs dispatches......

The Ned Kelly set was a genuine surprise as was the Nelson setting. Have always liked anything nautical.

Maybe Andy will one day will dip his toe into the NZ Musket Wars and the battle at Gate Pa and others.

Have always thought Māori warriors battling British colonial troops in the NZ bush would be an interest to collectors?

Yeah, just ask Captain Cook
