this isnt too surprising. often times, whats produced in china doesnt stay there so if you are a collector over there, you dont have many options. i'm sure this will change as their middle class grows - more shops and suppliers will fill the nitches. could be a nice opportunity in mainland...

that statement goes for every single one of them out there. at some point, all cultures have done horrible things.

To see my listings, click the link in my signature line. A bunch of old Marx vehicles and other playset pieces, Elastolin, Lineol & other composition makers and other odds & ends.

Nope, one of them was posing as a loyal alsand customer to publicize themselves. In a previous post, they make clear who they are. Anyways, this is a pretty relaxed forum. They could have made an announcement without the attempt to be stealthy. Frankly, the way the announcement was made and...

well, being from alsands, you'd know what show you'll be at next. ^&grin sorry, couldn't resist.

great response tom.

alymer had one of the most comprehensive catalogs ever. they just about had it all - ancients through modern - even a 90mm Regan figure among others. most of the alymer one sees these days on eBay and through other sources is modern made and not very good quality compared to 30 years ago...

Just a reminder that there are some items ending today and more ending tomorrow. Please click my ebay link in the signature line to view the listings. Have fun!

Phantom, the insurance here in the US with USPS is like pulling teeth. It can get so convoluted that it seems like all it is an additional fee should want to pay more.

It's so easy to mostly avoid these issues. Just pack the **** item well. That's all there is to it. I can count on one hand how many damage disputes I've had in the past 5 years. If a seller isn't sure how to pack an item then they should ask. Sometimes all people take seriously is the...

did companies like Britains actually bake that gloss on? Also, Baron, I think you left out Cortenay.

Mike, Have you seen the TippCo Goring variation? Is that a hausser or lineol armored car in the background?

They do have a gloss look to them and maybe they were given a coat. Most interesting is the box they are in. It is an original box - I actually recognize the handwriting very well, I have boxes with that persons hand writing. It was a rarely used box - the only other item I've seen in that...

Re: King & Country Empty Boxes, Listings ending today, tomorrow and new just posted boxes ending in a few minutes.

It's an attention grabber. Lot of people sort by highest price first. This pops up and the seller gets lots of views - not just for this item but all the others he's selling. Good marketing placement. Knows what he's doing, that's for sure. I wonder what the real price of it is.

A fun selection of modern and older figures, some King & Country including AE11 scaffold set, vintage Britains (very rare mechanical trailer) and more. Also, 40 something K&C empty boxes - if you are missing a box, want to upgrade to a better condition one (or more) or need extras to store sets...

Thimbles as stock. Interesting idea. Like shareholders in a Britains prototype? Well, interesting concept. Good luck with your new venture.

Somehow, I just knew that the words Ales, collect and thimbles would somehow equal "museum". do you have any investors lined up for this venture? i would help but my thumb just can't take the abuse. :wink2:

I'm affraid to ask... why do you want to know this? Pretty random.

that is disgusting.
