Rob I can't recall exactly what Andy said, however he said there was a significant focus of WWI planned to coincide with the 100 year anniversary and NO historical figures Haig etc are in the pipeline ie only infantry (both sides) and some artillery. Cheers Scott

Dear Rob Having attended the dinner in Brisbane I can tell you I spoke to Andy directly and he said that in the near future he is not going to sell figures any more, he is going to market the K&C 3D printer at a cost of approximately 150 quid. You then download the figure of your choice via...

Brett I think the only thing that will change is the title of some Threads on this very forum; for example; Thread Title " Does Canon go well with Epson" Answer "I find my Canon figures mix very well with my Epson figures, however if you want a more connoisseur type figure, I prefer either...

Dear All I seek some advice regarding the London shows; is the December London Toy Show bigger / smaller / different from the June show; ie does the weather deter vendors and show attendees' in winter or does the festive season make the December show grander? (or of-course neither) Thanking...

He turned $100+ into $10,000+!

My father once accidentally added two zero's to his 'highest bid' price, luckily for him there was not a bidding war as he most certainly would have been victorious!

Where to start; First there is the decision of what to buy; a plane, a tank, a figure? Then there is the problem of how to display them, I once bought a beautiful glass cabinet with lights and backing mirror only to find it is now too small. Do I spend $1000 on another display cabinet or more...

Whilst China has the capacity to mass produce products at a lower price than other countries, China also produces high quality products throughout a diverse range of industries. To suggest that it is a fact 'China does cheap not quality' is very dis-heartening to a person like myself that...

Seems very strange to me that some one can think that a worker getting paid $25 per week in the Toy Soldier factory can glue the figure to the base or paint the beret red, and this is considered a top quality, highly desirable product, yet when a highly skilled modeller getting paid $25 per hour...

Dear All Paint failure in any circumstance is a very complicated area. In the industrial environment paint failure is due to; 1. poor preparation, no key 2. poor preparation; not clean 3. poor preparation; not following manufacturers instructions 4. poor application; non adherence to over...

Rob Mr Robin Yates has listed a grand collection of Zulu (both sides) that are comparitively cheap (at least the starting price). Have a look at Ebay Australia Toy Soldiers (easy to navigate only ten pages or so of listings). I realise postage is an issue however it is worth a look. Cheers Scott

Michael I copied the post below from the forum, it was posted in 2009. Unfortunately, with great sadness the author Craig Pearse has also passed away. If you search Pearse in the "Advanced Search" you may get a lead. I have the Furphy Water set (matt version) and two or three other sets...

With all due respect if "some native Mexicans are known for their intricate paintings of Aztec designs on ceramics and jewelery" I would have thought they would be rewarded for their skill and attract a higher wage, not a lower one.

Mitch You have highlighted the fact that you consider the "P' figures to be a price gouge, not worth the money. You have said this not one, not two, not ten times in different threads repeating the same thing over and over and over again. Even Margaret Thatcher is now aware you consider the...

I believe the movie title to which you refer is going to be called "Hide and Seek", personally I think they would be Mad to do so!

I am not so sure there will be a Canadian version as the cover has real names on it!

Whilst there are definitely no discounts available, I may be able to pop into the shop and pick up a second hand set at a handsome price!

My father purchased a train on Ebay @ 900 Euro that never arrived. Despite both sides communicating the train never came. A claim was made through Palpay and the money was recovered. Nine months later the train arrived. It had gone to Austria instead of Australia via South America (??). Palpay...

Dear Zulucollector Your question poses one of the ironies of life, Andy did not release the landing craft because or poor quality / historical inaccuracy / just wasn't up to standard; the exact thing people continually complain about ie if I have to pay top dollar I want everything correct. So...

Louis A few years back I bought a 'Dads Army' set for my father for XMAS. He doesn't collect toy soldiers but he loved the TV show and liked the fact it tied in with my hobby ie we shared a common interest of sorts. I am positive it is not a Trophy Set as it was not very expensive, I bought...
