Well, it explains it, but it's almost impossible to identify the regiments.

Not sure what happened, but your photos are a bit blurry today. The ones you took before looked great!

One more detail: both regiments—the Tirailleurs Sénégalais and the Algerian Tirailleurs (Turcos) in these Trophy sets—were equipped with the Fusil Lebel Model 1886 M93, which served as the standard rifle for French colonial infantry during the Boxer Rebellion and the early stages of World War I...

This set is traditionally attributed to the Boxer Rebellion, but the uniform details strongly suggest it could also represent a World War I-era unit. :). Your white-uniformed regiment would definitely fit within the Boxer Rebellion range.

Trophy also made a mounted figure of the Algerian Tirailleurs for this regiment. I have two of them and will try to find the box with them and post a photo later.

Hawkeye, This is further proof that these figures belong to the Boxer Rebellion range: Trophy’s Dragon Crest DC21, which features Turcos (Algerian Tirailleurs) in a Boxer Rebellion set. That set also uses oval bases, and the officer figure is virtually identical to the one in your set. DC21...

This set appears to depict the French Tirailleurs Sénégalais, a colonial infantry regiment composed primarily of West African soldiers who served under French command. These troops were active from the late 19th century into the mid-20th century and participated in multiple campaigns across...

Please show you " the harder to find sets". Oh, I feel that in my soul! Watch out for those snipers! Your options are simple: either become the sniper, or when your grail appears, bid so high your wallet cries, but your future self high-fives you. Short-term pain, zero long-term regret!

Yes, Brian. Please show close ups for La Haye Sainte add on sets. I loved them. How many do you have?

Thank you Brian

Deitz, It was a no-brainer for me. This set is quite scarce, so most people don’t even realize it existed when they see it for the first time — like stumbling on a unicorn in full dress uniform! Thank you for the valuable advice. We might just have to start another thread: “To Buy or Not to Buy”...

Mark, welcome to The Trophy Nuts Corps the Dusty Shelf Division. :). Feel free to post photos of your "starter kit" in another thread.

Looks like everyone's being shy—as usual when a new thread starts. So I guess it's up to me to break the ice and charge in first. Here are my answers to the big three! 1. Since 2009 (16 years) 2. Empire Corps HQ 3. Hidden in boxes

You convinced me :)

Hawkeye, thank you for showing these amazing and rare sets! We are looking for more :)

It always begins innocently—just one or two Trophy sets to bring life to a display shelf. Then somehow, a decade later, your guest room is full of charging Highlanders, the garage is fortified with Sudanese gun crews, and the attic groans under the weight of Alamo defenders still in their...

Well, I’ve never seen them in white uniforms before, so I’m pretty sure they’re a special set—would love to see the label on that Big Box! And wow… a 4,000+ figure collection? That’s roughly 700 boxes! No wonder those photos of shelves packed with red boxes looked so shocking. I’m definitely...

If Martyn would concur I have to believe it but would love to see a sticker with set number on the box if you can find it.

This is WA59 Regimental Color from Napoleonic Wars so I am pretty sure the rest are from the same range not Mutiny. Just my 2 cents

Interesting set—I don’t think I’ve seen it before! Would love to know its box number… but I’d still trade it in a heartbeat for one of those mythical sets that never made it across the pond. :) Are you sure it is from Indian Mutiny range? Because it looks like later issue from Napoleonic range.
