    Good morning Pat, This is a very nice elephant with a good group accompanying it. Looking at the photos I said to myself, "I think this is the one I like the best." And then I read that it was Bill Hocker's. I'm pleased, I like the man and the whole way he has managed his product: toy...

    "Forgive Us Our Trespasses"

    You wrote; Thanks for this Randy, Learning these details in little bits is fun. We all know what it's like when we're ill, other than not feeling so good, it is often at such moments that we realize how wonderful it was to just be well, no extras needed. It's unfortunate that it takes ills of...

    Good morning, It's good to say hello. I had a good time last year and there is no doubt that meeting other members was the highlight. Yes that is the elephant and it does look good. Also in the third photo from the top, the elephant with the red black and green blanket is new to me. It might...

    "Forgive Us Our Trespasses"

    This Winslow Homer is Wonderful Randy. THe boys are sitting there, unconscious of all they possess, in a magic present. And one suspects that their minds are on the future. Is Britain the maker of all three figures in the original post? Cheers Russell

    Warrior and Brad, Thank you both for taking the time with your replies. I live in Montreal and went once to the Valley Forge/King of Prussia Show in the late 90s and enjoyed it. My wife and daughter loved the shopping in the nearby malls. Last year I also went to the Chicago Show which I...

    Thanks Pat. It's wonderful seeing the photos, and you are right about keeping this thread alive. Do you think you'll be collecting the matte figures Pat, or do you like them only in gloss colours? All the best, Russell

    Very nice Warrior. I have a couple of questions for you. 1. I went to the Valley Forge/Gettysburg Show many years ago and then, a few years ago, there was the confusion of two different shows and/or the moving of the show. What happened? 2. How was the show? Many people? Were they buying?

    "The Road"

    I haven't seen the movie but did read the book. I enjoyed it. The positive I read into it was the love between father and son. A father who gets on with the job of being a parent. The negative is the sense of society loss. We had it all and we screwed it up. Although different in quality and...

    The Future of King & Country

    This is good Louis. It's both wonderful and scary at the same time. How far away can he be from dropping he 'our' to MY as in His. :)
