One of his original ideas, not done by prior toy manufactures to my knowledge, and one of my favorites are the scenic pieces like Afghan cave, and Iwo Jima mountain. These add a dimension for making diaramas that do not cost a fortune. Too bad K&C did not do a San Juan Hill or Custer's Ridge...

It would be speculation only, but I have often wondered what would have happened had Custer been able to establish a defensable position. Given a larger force he may have been able to repel the hostiles long enough to dig in like Reno. The relief column was only a day away and a messenger may...

If you have studied Custer, I don't think you can make the statement that he assumed Indians were ignorant and disorganized. It is true that Indians did not follow the same code of conduct the white man had for war, and that they would take flight rather than fight in order to protect the women...

Dick - I want to join in and call to name my hero and name sake, Herbert Boyer, who landed on Omaha Beach June 8th I believe. Hw was a Tow Truck Driver.

I don't know why, but I was thinking Andy might unveil one of the new lines he has talked about this month (mid year). Maybe he will wait until the Chicago Show. That is a big event and K&C puts alot of effort into attending that show. Oh well, I still have much to buy in the lines I collect...

Cardigan - I looked these up in Opie's Great Book and his Toy Soldiers (Prewar). The prewar book has a price guide from 1985 and the 3rd Hussars are listed higher than the 4th or 11th Hussars. The 3rd and 11th Hussars are believed to be the first sculpted by Wm Britains, Jr. The 3rd Hussars...

Here is what OPIE says in his book. First set 2074 is listed in year 1953. Ist King's Dragoon Guards, mounted, trotting, with officer, five pieces. This was the first of three sets intended to round out the representation of cavalry as it might be used in a prcession, rather than galloping as...

Ken - Congrats on a job well done. The Union Cavalry are on my Christmas list.

Peter - Don't you get two automatic infraction points for poking fun at the Holy Father? By the way, the Catholic Church has almost a 2,000 year history of keeping Holy Week centered on Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection. Therefore, it is not appropriate to be celebrating a Saint's Feast...

OzDigger as I have ventured down under to your fine country I did not want you to be misled about Texas. In Texas there are only two colors - Maroon for the fighting Texas Aggies of College Station, and Burnt Orange for the Longhorns of the University of Texas. Red is the COLOR of my home...

I have a large collection of zoo items from numerous manufacturers, have all the Britains hollowcast series (except Sringbuck, Bushbuck and King Cobra), also have about 100 Britains french foreign legion/arab figures and 100 Britains western figures plus 10 prairie schooners (my favorite...

Greetings from Fort Worth -Would you please post an explanation to the forum on the Sgt. Yorke and Quincannon figures - they look great. Are they collector's club figures? Also can you comment on how the Remember the Alamo range is doing, I am just now ordering most of the newly released...

Viva Napolean!!! He will never die!!! I heard it from CapitolRon, so you know it is true.

1000 figures of our choice, Let's not get greedy, If Andy or some other manufacturer wants to underwrite a $1,000, I think that is very appropriate for the celebration of accomplishing a 1,000 member forum! Brad or Pete / Shannon can you add this thread to the K & C Forum?? Let's do this!!

Congrats TreeFrog on going over 900 in membership. The 1,000 membership mark will be set soon. How about a poll or pool to guest the date? I remember joking about member 666 not very long ago. By the way for all you Visitors to the Forum. Please join us. I waited about 6 months to join...

Hey UKReb - I collect "Remember the Alamo" as should anyone of Texas or Mexican desent. I have posted about this line and CUSTER. I think you missed some of the chatter during your visit to the States last year. This line is great and I was told that Andy would like to do a figure for every...

I would prefer to see GA Custer a little more mature and further out west with the 7th Cavalry. Have any of you guys seen the prices that HobbyBunker has gotten this week for K & C "The West" Figures on Ebay? Over $200.00 on some mounted Indians and over $100.00++ for foot soldiers!! I would...

I pledge to buy the entire CUSTER line. CUSTER

Brad - I was going to suggest that we send the CIA over to find out what Andy has up his sleeve, but I am concerned that they would report he has WMD and is trying to take over the (toy) world. Maybe our BRIT friends accross the pond could send a scottish OO7 over to Hong Kong, surely Andy...

Praetorian - That is great news! So we now have like 26 of the 190 or so personalities know to have been at the defense of the Alamo. Tell Andy I will buy a round of Beer at the 15th Annual San Antonio Show in celebration of the 190th piece (well its the least I could do). The next 13 1/2...
