Many of the Trophy pieces offered on ebay are unboxed items with a high fixed price and it is obvious why these are not selling. Boxed items that are in good condition tend to do well. Unfortunatly, many times the figures offered have a high starting price and, again, tend not to sell. It...

Hi All, I purchase this figure in the hope that it would expand to a full boxer rebellion range. There must be some thing there for everyone with all the various county's fielding combatants. As Steve mentions it would also be very colorful. I also have the Indian Mutiny range which are...

Mine arrived this morning via Bachmann Europe, so it looks like the UK is up and running again. Clearly we have been Trumped by our American brothers! Apologies couldn't resist. Regards Smendy

Thank you everyone for your responses. I particularly enjoyed the Daily Mail article (although not a reader for obvious reasons!) With so much information on this subject available it was refreshing to see some new contemporary pictures. I think that might be an oxymoron. have a great weekend...

I wonder if you can advise which terrain mat would be best suited for a Rorke's Drift diorama? I am thinking dried grass mat but maybe I am wrong. Any ideas? Thank you Smendy

Hi there, I received mine AZW figure earlier this week. I was a bit disappointed that it did not contain a certificate. Did anyone receive their figure with one?

Dear Ken and all at W Britain. I know in your press release that you mention that further information will of W Britain's new business vehicle will be forthcoming, but in the meantime could you let use know what will be happening with the club and distribution here in the UK? Is Bachmann...

It's William Britains 20161 - British 24th Foot with Foot on Biscuit Box set released last year and now sold out -unsurprisingly.

How wrong I was!!! These figures are fantastic. Thank you Ken and your team for consistently raising the toy soldier collecting standard (no pun intended)

Paul, Thanks for you comment. I was only going on what I have seen for the post on this forum. Having looked again you could be right. I am sure Britains will come through for us. Apologies if I caused some concern. Looking forward to seeing the Standard to find out.

I was a little surprised to see that although we have been given more choice of free figures for this years collectors club membership, they all seem to be figures that were released previously and sold on release. Had I know that at least one of my purchases would have been offered free I would...

Hi everyone, I had quite hoped that with the Collectors club release of the British Royal Marine in Peking circa 1900 (50053C) that we would see W Britain's moving towards a Boxer rebellion range that would be a great opportunity to release a number of armies from the 8 nations...

Thank you for the information. The AZW is just amazing and gets better year on year. Looking forward to your new offerings.

Ken, He is fantastic. Is is possible to reserve a figure if you are unable to attend the show?

There are a number of figures that could be added to the drift that are not generic. For example: Assistant Commissary Walter Dunn, Corporal Francis Attwood - Army Service Corps, Wheeler John Cantwell - Royal Artillery, Louis Byrne - civilian volunteer with commissary dept. There is also room...

Thanks for your response. I am looking forward to receiving mine.

Thank you Robin, issue 43 is dated August 2014! I thought they were issued in Feb, May, Aug, and November! I will have to check again. Thanks Smendy

Hi All, Have I missed something or where we due to receive a November issue of The Standard Magazine? Anyone in the know?

Hi I am a new member but have followed both the Zulu and Nile war disscussions for some time now. With regard to the Rorke's Drift diorama being completed (yours looks absolutly fantastic by the way) we still lack a couple of characters. We could do with Assistant Commissary Walter Dunn (two...

Hi All, Just wondered how many of these would have been produced when the product was originally launche back in 1893 and what one might have expected to pay for it? Amazing to see how this hobby has evolved.
