Whilst I post infrequently, I find your reference to the "Peanut Gallery" a cracker. I hope your new job is a success and you continue to pursue your hobby of collecting toy soliders anyway you see fit. Cheers Scott PS I do not consider "Simmo's" comment to contribute to the "Peanut...

I collect sets from across a number of different manufactures. Some of course are more expensive than others. It has always played on my mind, should my house burn down ( please hope it doesn't), is there any particular set you that you would miss the most? ie the insurance paid out, what is...

I have to say that is quite an impressive collection; my shed holds the ride on mower and all the junk my wife refuses to throw out (although my beer is stored in the corner, out of sight). Cheers Scott

I totally agree with you. In addition,the suggestion to ban someone because of their choice of employment is bordering on the ridiculous.

I think you have summed up the whole issue extremely well; I concur entirely with every word. Cheers Scott

Thanks John I paid about 100 pounds on ebay (Australia), as I said previously it did not pan out exactly as I expected however they are still lovely figures and they certainly have a story to tell!! Cheers Scott

Thanks for eveyones interest, I now believe they are made by Traditional Toy Soldiers. I think they still have a store in London (??) but I have never been there. Cheers Scott

Thanks Loius for you expert opinion, I am not wholly disappointed as it is still a nice set. I will certainly not describe them as being King and Country should I ever decide to sell. At least I finished up with a nice box!! Cheers Scott

Brad Simply out of interest, what is the highest number you have on a card ie 326 out of 1000? Cheers Scott

Brad I would like to collect more K&C glossy figures, but, as you know, they are tricky things to get your hands on! Scott

Dear All I came by this set of Indian Toy Soldiers and to my surprise they were accompanied by a card that states 'This is set 1 of 1000'. I cannot imagine there was 1000 of these sets produced. I spoke with Andy at the K&C Brisbane dinner last night, Andy could not recall the figures...

Please forgive me, I am doing a test to see if I can upload a picture. Apologies to all.

Whilst there is always numerous debate about the accuracy of items, ie the rivot counters ' the plane looks great however in November 1940 there was no colour red as all the earthworms had died due to the un-seasonally cold weather', I always enjoy the comments in threads that relate the item to...

Maybe a year ago or so the complete Roman Fort with the two additional add ons (can't remember exactly what they were) was on Australian E-Bay for $10,000.00 Aust Dollars. From memory there were no bidders so I can only assume somewhere in Australia there is the complete Roman Fort available...

I have to totally agree with Brett, I have been to his shop many times over the years and his prices have always matched the King and Country Web Site; I guess even if he moved to the size of IKEA his prices would remain the same. Some year back the Australian $ = 50 US cents and this made the...

I always have a problem with the fine line between the current pieces and those 'just around the corner'. As I have no idea what lies in the future some things become appealing on issue yet six months later I think 'if I only knew this I would not have purchased that'. The real problem occurs...

Is it acceptable to talk your 8 year old son into wanting an item that will be delivered by Santa to him for XMAS that in fact will really be added to Dads' collection. It worked last year with the MG, I was wondering if I am stretching good parenting too far by getting a WW1 Plane for this XMAS!

Living in Brisbane I also like going to the Military Workshop. Even if I you do not purchase an item each visit I like the 'bricks and mortar' concept. Cheers Scott

Thanks for the support, I purchased the Paul Boulton to go with a diarama I am slowing building with the poly Hurricane, the ambulance, MG , Nissen Hut and hopefully the yet to be released Morris.
