George, I know you have been doing it a lot longer than I have. I have been a serious collector since 2013 and in that time I have owned K&C , W. Britain, and Figarti figures with paint flaking problems. That is a lot higher percentage than you have experienced. Maybe it is my bad luck but I do...

Tom, Thank you for your pictures, they are worth a thousand words. As you can see it is not an isolated incident and at the cost of these precious figures it is inexcusable to have these problems. Obvious lack of QC by manufacturers (China/Hong Kong). It would be nice if companies would own it...

Andy is free to reply with his opinion on this matter to the problem. I would love to hear his take on it. It is not an isolated instance but an intermittent problem for the hobby. I have primed and painted metal War game figures since the 1970's and never had a flaking issue. This is not...

I have seen the same problem on other figures also not just K & C. Personally I think that the figures were painted without priming on bare metal. China cannot have the best quality control and like a lot of other companies cut corners to meet demand. A properly primed figure under normal...

Just received my standard yesterday. Very fun to read and looking forward to each one. Great set of Club figures for 2020 offered. Also with club renewal there is a $15.00 voucher for any in stock item which is sweet. Called Erika today and got my renewal and order in. Thanks W. Britain Howard

I think something is wrong because 1cm is very small. What is the scale of this oxcart? Howard

I do not disagree with what you are saying but I would like to add one more observation. As the hobby progresses there are many more high quality manufacturers today which also exacerbates the amount of good stuff out there for a small market. The marginal companies have gone by the wayside and...

I have to agree, prices for selling soldiers on the secondary market have to be below retail or they just will not sell. You have to be satisfied with getting money back on your investment but trying to get a Profit on investment on toy soldiers is going to be a very tough sell. Only in some...

Sergeii, Are these shipping from France?

Whatever the cost it is well worth it. I would take it to a professional shipping and crating service company and get a quote. It is a one of a kind work of art and would be a **** shame to have it damaged in shipping. Just my two cents for what that’s worth. Howard

Unbelievable artistry in this paint job. I love the war torn and worn look of the uniform. Some of the paint jobs look like they stepped out of the department store without a speck of dirt on them. For realism figures have to be weathered in my opinion. Well done on this figure, I do not think...

Wanted W Britain 36083 1st Royal Dragoon Dead Horse #1 Thanks Howard

Mark, It is nice to see more emphasis on quality terrain items being offered. It just does not look good to display quality figures on cheap terrain. The realism factor is what makes dioramas come to life in my opinion. I bought some Paragon terrain at the Texas show and is really nice stuff. I...

YES, I remember a time when Texas use to put on a pretty good Toy soldier Show. I guess that was the "GOOD OLD DAYS". Thanks for all the photos of the Chicago Show to all who posted. It brings back old memories. Howard

Kit, What is the condition of each item. Are all Items Like New with original Box? Howard

WOW, Great artistic work, I have never seen plastic figures painted so well. Great Job, My father was there and I have all his medals and battle ribbons as in your picture with campaign stars on the ribbons. "FOLLOW ME" Second Marine Division. Thanks for sharing. Howard

Hmmmm, No lists ,no shipping, On site selling only, bummer. Good Luck.

Everything has been sold. Thanks to all who purchased. Howard

Well if no one knows the current value, the OP can post pictures of these 3 items and put a price on them and see if it sticks. He knows what he paid and should know what he wanted to make on them when he bought them for resale. Pictures are a must for these items. Howard
