Since I don't know what you paid for the collections, nor what you received when you sold them (retail price?; retail plus 10%?; less than retail?), I learn nothing from your post as to the status of the resale market. All I know is that you are making a huge profit. But if you bought the...

It is refreshing to see an opinion based on data.

Thank you for your prompt and courteous post. I think that the retailer has already asked you to send a replacement, albeit belatedly. I have e-mailed the retailer to find out for sure. I apologize to all for my earlier post. I was frustrated with the retailer, not the manufacturer. Still...

I'm glad that someone is happy. I'm still waiting for my replacement for my damaged soldier, which I requested from the retailer on June 8th...

Great instructions. Thanks for taking the time to share. Can people hire you to paint toy soldiers for them? That is, soldiers other than ones for sale on your website?

King's Man: Did you paint Ney yourself? It is an impressive paint job.

Why does it say "King and Country" on the box of the Horsa if it's not K&C????

I appreciate the good service. I should have added to my post that I know that I can easily get a replacement that will be in perfect condition.

Mine had a very loose upraised arm as well, which fell off when I gently placed the flag in it. I could glue it back on, but I am not that good with touch-up paint. One horse leg needs touch-up paint as well.

If you go to my page on this forum you will see a picture of a Collector's Showcase ACW figure adjacent to a K&C ACW figure. You can see that the Collector's Showcase is somewhat smaller. The main difference that I notice is that the skin tones on Collector's Showcase figures are much darker...

I think that what they are trying to say is that VAT applies above £40 and customs duties apply above £135 (unless the amount of the duty is less than £9). So the point of the first statement is to set the threshold for the VAT. That's my best guess anyway; hope it answers your question. Chris

That doesn't seem fair...

The following site states that items below £40 are exempt from customs duties and VAT. Scroll down to section 2.7: http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageTravel_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000014&propertyType=document#P97_6607 That...

What does the seller have to lose on the deal if he marks it as a gift? His integrity. I applaud sellers who refuse to label something they just sold as a gift. They are refusing to lie.

I wasn't trying to encourage civility in my last post; I was annoyed by your post telling me that I didn't mean what I said. You still don't understand what I meant in my post containing the idiom, but I don't think a long explanation would help much. And I know what "syntax" means, but I...

So, I try to encourage civility and someone decides to correct me by overanalyzing my idiom? This time I will use plain language to avoid misunderstanding: Be nice. Picking apart the post of someone advocating civil behavior is beyond pointless and, in this case, shows a misunderstanding of...

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I just can't figure out why MarkeytMaker keeps getting slammed on this thread...

I appreciate all that the moderators do. However, the rude posts were commented on by someone who had "moderator" written below his name. One of my inferences was that this person was, in fact, a moderator. My question was raised because said "moderator" commented on instead of acted upon the...

There is a rule against "rude" posts on this forum. Violators have their post removed and receive an infraction. Two posts on this thread are beyond rude, yet the posts remain, and I infer that no infraction was imposed. I am just curious as to why the "rude rule" is not applied here, and...

I would like to thank the person who created this database. I have referred to it many times. What a great resource!
