    2016 Chicago show.

    I did understand that a few years back the ATM ran out of cash, so plan accordingly.

    Is this Marx or Recast? Pt. 1 The Covered Wagon

    That's probably not the best way to judge the wagon piece. As it is, the color on pictures is not always accurate.

    I need some new 1:32 ww2 news!!!!!!!

    Seems to me Conte was under the impression that there were thousands on potential buyers out there for his plastic figures. People who know better could have told him otherwise, and may have. Either way, he charged ahead, and now where is he? How about Imex and their 1/32 figures. Or even Hat...

    Is this Marx or Recast? Pt 2. The Caisson

    This is the one they created. Very nice. But they did redo the original Marx cannon and caisson that looked exactly like the original.

    Is this Marx or Recast? Pt 2. The Caisson

    Hard to tell with this one as CTS reissued them about 15 years ago. The only difference as I recall was that they had the horses' heads turned slightly.

    Is this Marx or Recast? Pt. 1 The Covered Wagon

    The plastic axles are likely original as late Marx, particularly when they were owned by Quaker. I'm thinking they came in Comanche Pass and the cereal box sets.

    Anyone else get an email from Conte?

    3 months and nothing since the 'big announcement' Web site hasn't changed, and no Face Book either.

    Marx Battleground-Navarone British, German and American GI stand-ins?

    For brand new figures, those look expensive. I'd hold out and see what you can do getting old Marx and Airfix.

    Marx Battleground-Navarone British, German and American GI stand-ins?

    For one, I'd keep an eye on Ebay, as you can often get nice lots of Marx figures pretty reasonably. Also, Airfix has reissued most of their 1/32 scale figures and they are available also at a pretty reasonable price. And if you can get to any toy soldier show, or even large toy show you can...

    Some are clearly Airfix knock-offs.

    American Heroes

    I've seen most of these either at Walmart or at toy shows, but never saw or heard of the two WWII anniversary sets. Those are very interesting. It would have been nice if there were 1/32 scale figures made from these.

    “Additional “Alamo” Figures....”

    ? Don't see that.

    Anyone else get an email from Conte?

    All of this will be followed by months and months of 'any day now' followed by nothing. Yeah the stuff he made, when he actually had it made, ten or fifteen ago was very nice, but at this point it's like expecting Marx to release brand new playsets and figures. He can show all the sculpts he...

    New Barzso Rome?

    That's his website, not his email but it would be on the site. He's out of town for a few days right now.

    Your thoughts for next TSSD sets.

    Paul, this looks to be neat. I hope it's an extensive range. Time to buy up those FOV APCs.

    Your thoughts for next TSSD sets.

    There are enough European companies, as well as Hat, that are doing or have done Napoleonic. I would like to see TSSD focus on the Viet Nam series for a while and not hop around.
