I would prefer military. A new line would be fantastic - or new sets under existing lines. But Boer Wars or Indian Regt would be fantastic as well. It would be nice for anything new from Imperial really - maybe a brand new Heirloom Set.

Hi Yes - 100% Britains - Marked on Base - Made in China. Thats why I was wondering if anyone knew anything, as I had looked thru the Britains books and on this site and not ever come across this figure. They were sold singly, in the gift shop at the Tower of London itself - so assumed it must...

I purchased these from the Tower giftshop approx 2000-2001 Have never seen them about since - or even mentioned They are Britains. Does anyone know anything about them, a catalogue number - if one exists? and any other info. Thanks{sm4}

Yahoo - thats been a long time coming.

For 12 days from 20 May 1941, New Zealand, British, Australian and Greek troops tried to repel a massive airborne assault by Germans forces. 2,000 Kiwi soldiers were taken prisoner during the battle, and 671 died. Many New Zealanders made it off Crete, but thousands were left behind. Among those...

Thanks for shraing those photos - it looks like an amazing display! Just one more reason to get back to the UK!!

Hi I ordered several sets in January this year - and got them this week. So Imperial is still operating and plodding along, so to speak. I don't mind the wait, as the figures are always so worthwhile. I ordered by email - and they called me when the sets were ready. Heres a photo of the 2nd...

Crimea Range Set 80 - The Thin Red Line I just really love the officer - something really special about him that appeals to me - hence thought I'd share.:smile2:

I have a numbe rof these figures, and I wish to paint them - maybe in a gloss style. But I have found, using Humbrol, that the paint remains sticky for what seems like a long time...days! Am I doing something wrong, or can someone offer some advice? I think it may be to do with the plastic used...

Thanks Guys This is the only figure I have - inherited it, it was my thought that it was a conversion - but you live in hope that it may have been a ONE OFF ONE OF KIND LOST SET issued in 1938 sort of thing......haha It is a nice figure. But ever so lonely....will have to look at another makers...

Is anyone able to provide more info on this figure..its hollow cast lead, Britains pre 1966. After a set or something it may have come from. Thanks:smile2:

Picked this set up of a collector buddy who had popped in at the right time to Imperial premises in Greytown - just when they were doing a clean up - and this amongst some other older sets were found......

I think you've hit a nail on the head - I agree that sets of glossy figures are brilliant. It was not that long along that Britians did issue these...... Luckily others have that niche now - WM Hocker, Imperial...........But I would buy Britains glossy sets if issued.

Its a pretty subjective arguement - as it'll be worth what ever someone wishes to spend on that day. I was able to get a boxed example several years ago for $NZ300.....which was a pretty **** good bargain.

Here are some happy snaps I'd taken.
