Actually the reason why Ron retired has nothing to do with health and safety criteria / lead content in any of his products. The fact is there is NO lead content in any of it. Any paint used is lead free. Ron simply felt like it was time. He's getting older, wants to spend more time with his...

I spoke to Ron again today. The pre-order is closed. They've already reach 50+ pre-orders!! Availability of remaining sets will be in the fall, coinciding with the Chicago Toy Soldier Show. Thx Jim

I just "spoke" to Ron via texts.. He's been out of cell phone range for awhile, doing some hiking. He will send confirmation emails as soon as he's able! Thx, Jim

Either website, LOD or Barzso works..

"The Battle of Yorktown: Attack on Redoubt #10" Playset will be released at the Chicago Show is September. Exact contents haven't been determined yet, but will include the two character figures, all new Continental and British soldiers, Redoubt #10, and many accessories. The character figures...

Ron fully intends on continuing the castles and medieval buildings (and possibly adding onto the line), IF he can get them manufactured. The place he has used for years is pretty much out of business.

No the photos don't show the configurations.

I think that will happen...

Woodland Indians (only ones I have so far). These figures are as is out of the mold. No straightening of weapons required!

I'm really not sure if he'll produce any of the accessories. Well he still has a lot of the small stuff, like bags, bundles, ropes, etc. I personally, would love to see him do more cannons!

Hi All, Some big news coming from Barzso Playsets. While Ron has been quiet the past year or two, he's still been busy. Ron has been looking for a better formulation of plastic resin to run figures in - - and has found it! The company that runs the figures are on board and have produced a...

My condolences, George. I enjoyed meeting your dad at the Chicago Show. He was strange the last year or two when he wasn't able to come. I can see why you'll cherish all those memories! Best to you and your family, Jim

That was me.. I used to do a play by play report on the web for Playset Magazine.. but it requires a lot of time and work... I was working more than I was having fun.. But, I will be posting photos on the Playset Magazine website soon.. Thx Jim

Steve, When will you be open for business? Interested in seeing what you brought! Thx, Jim

Yes indeed... It's already available and he's getting more made for the show. Everything else is new.

Thx Don, Yes, did make a smaller "connector" wall to use with the castle. I haven't seen a production piece yet. but it should be ready for the show. The base is fully sculpted with a stone floor - so it can actually be used as a standalone piece. Jim

Ron sent this photo to me this afternoon.. Production pieces - tower and base together! And he added the small octagonal tower at the very top (he should have some of those at the Chicago Show as well).

Oops! I misspelled Barzso! barzso@earthlink.net Sorry, Jim

They should be up on the website after the Chicago Show... You can also contact Ron Barzso at barzo@earthlink.net. I believe he will take you information for ordering... I don't know what the price point is yet. Also, full castles are still available... I don't know if or when he'll have...

Here's a photo of the base for the tower (ready for molding).. It can be used as a stand alone piece as well.. maybe a strong point / outpost for Medieval, Ancient Rome, Greeks, etc. I've also done a short connecting wall for the tower to be integrated into the castle. Thx for your interest!
