All the figures are smooth... I have a couple of tie pilots.. they're fine.. not the best sculpts, but not bad, either.

I picked up these 2 set at Target this afternoon.. For the most part, I like them.. The Stormtroopers/Sandtroopers are the best sculpts in my opinion.. Poses are definitely limited in each pack.. The Sandtrooper Strike set 9 figures in only 3 poses (the special pose is actually the same as one...

I used to use Liquid Nails, which does work well.. however I prefer white wood glue (specifically Gorilla Glue). Either will get the job done. Jim

Walt, Just to clarify.. there isn't a playset per se... Each of the 2 stadium sections will be sold separately - no requirement to purchase an entire arena or stadium... spectators will be sold in bagged sets - I don't know how many poses or number of figures will be included in each bag. Not...

Sorry, no chariots... spectators and perhaps a couple of gladiators. Thx, Jim

If this is KAPA Line foam board (which I believe it is), it is not available in the U.S. I've read a few articles and googled the product and there isn't a close equivalent here.. If you're using a different product, what is it? Thx, Jim

Plans are to have sections of a Roman colosseum/stadium.. There is a curved section and a straight. Straight section is approximately 14.5" long X 7.75" inches tall (seating section angles up). Each curve section is 1/8 of a circle with approx. 15" inside radius and an outside radius of approx...

I recorded it on my DVR and watched the first episode tonite.. I think it's excellent.. Has the feel of a good 'ole fashioned swashbuckler.. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to episode 2 and beyond. Jim

Scaled for 54mm figures, or 1/32. While Ron Barzso makes plastic and resin figures, the buildings, castles, etc. are widely used by both plastic and metal collectors.. Thx, Jim

I've definitely seen both FOV and 21st C. stuff at the show.. Hope to see you there.. Jim

Remember, the Indy Show is coming up soon - April 13th to be exact... Room trading begins as early as Thursday, April 10. Indy Show website Thx, Jim

Setting my max. price for bidding on ebay items has always been the way I do it.. If I lose, then it went for more money than I was willing to pay and that's fine... BTW, I usually lose out :-). Recently I actually won an auction (I was the only bidder) so that was cool. There have only been a...

I know this thread originally was about bookstores and toy soldier shows.. but in related news is the closing of another toy shop. I just found out that The Toymaker of Williamsburg (VA.) has closed its doors after 48 years in business. My wife and I went to Colonial Williamsburg in 2009 and...

The Alan Hale in Robin Hood was Alan Hale Jr.'s (The Skipper) father. And for the record, Errol Flynn's "The Adventures of Robin Hood" is my All-time favorite movie! Jim

Here in the Chicago area we've had record cold temps also... Yesterday the HIGH temp was -14F. This afternoon it's supposed to get above 0... Windchills have been in the -30F to -40F range. The company I work for closed the office yesterday and today.. so it's been no problem for us... Power...

I know a lot of people quibble that Barzso's resin figures aren't plastic... but in reality resin is a formulation of plastic.. so I add: Barzso ACW artillery crew Barzso ACW signal corps Thx Jim

I add my condolences to Joe's family at his passing. Very sad news, indeed.. Jim

I would suggest taking your own photos and then creating your cards online at Snapfish or some similar service.. I actually make my cards at Walgreens online.. The templates are very easy to use and you have a wide selection of styles.. Jim

The gentleman who makes these is named Mike, but his last name escapes me. He trades as "Volks International", but has no website or business cars. He deals through shows. Those photos are of his medieval or barbarian age buildings and war machines. Mike Luteran.. He's a great guy! Jim

The URL is different than it used to be.. You need to replace the old bookmarked address with the new one: http://www.kingandcountry.com/ The old one had /home.jsp at the end which is no longer valid.. Hope this helps.. Jim
