Hi,most of the lads at work, know i collect toy soldiers,most of them watch and play Rugby,i can watch the sport but thats about it!Anyway probably each week i get a delivery,it gets delivered to work,so i normally check it in my office,and normally leave out of the box(i draw the line at making...

Just thought some of you might be interested,i got this in the post from Del Prado yesterday,its a 50 figure issue,somewhat short for Del Prado unless they pull the usual trick of increasing the total of figures just as you appear to be finishing the series:eek:Anyway the figures will come with...

When did the first suddenly become popular?Is it because it no longer has the haunting grip on nations memories that it did have?I cant really remember my great granddad, but he lost 3 brothers in the first world war,whenever a war film/documentary came on the tv,off it went, from what my family...

So ,would people still collect Warbirds if they weren't in quote"extremely limited" does mass production not equal quality in some collectors eyes(collectors with less income would disagree),each to their own,i fell into the "extremely limited quantities " with Britain's and i wont swayed by it...

Hi having just purchased some Zulu war figures and abandon the hospital set,i was just wondering if anybody had repainted chipped figures,or figures which paint has flaked off ?It mainly appears to be tunics off the British,some European flesh and worst are the Zulu spears(due to being bent)any...

Brits don't sell, do they?Most of the D-day retired items seem to be the British/commonwealth items?

It comes as a bit of a system shock when prices do go up,I`m slightly confused,i thought the reason most toy companies moved their manufacturing base to China/Far east was the low cost/raw materials/ready available skilled workforce/lower wages than the west,therefore keeping prices low?(i might...
