    HIRIART February 2018 Delivery

    There are a number of reasons for not collection the above-named figures. 1. The price is much too high to create a large collection. I don't think I want to pay $40/figure or more for a parade formation of 16 to 20 figures. 2. They are more one of a model soldier than the traditional toy...

    West Coast Show Updates

    I enjoyed the show as I always do, but it was a lot different from previous shows. This is no way a reflection on the way Treefrog ran it, but rather the times. There were probably less than 20 rooms open before the show . . . including mine . . . with good traffic, but sales were down. There...
