    Indy show in March!!!

    Hi, I've been updating the Indy Show website the past few weeks. We've added a page called "Show News" which will bring information regarding dealers, the hotel, the show itself, etc. We will be updating this quite a bit as things develop over the next few weeks as we approach the show date of...

    NCAA Basketball

    It was great to see Murray State on ESPN yesterday (not ESPN 2 or 3 or ESPNU), with Dickie V. working the game.. And how about Isaiah Cannan? Nice to see the Racers bounce back with a couple of nice wins after their first loss. Jim

    NCAA Basketball

    Unfortunately, I agree.. Murray State will have to win their tourney to get in.. IF they win out and lose in the tourney there's a slight chance they would get in.. Watch, with that loss they'll drop like a rock in the rankings Jim Murray State University, BFA 1976

    NCAA Basketball

    Thx, Al.. Murray State has been very good over the years in their conference (Ohio Valley), but as a "mid major" they don't get a lot of national attention.. I'm afraid when they do lose a game - they will drop drastically in the polls... It could still be possible that they would have to win...

    The best plastic horses?

    Marx made a dead horse - I think it has been recast..... TSSD converted some of theirs to be dead horse for their Custer sets.

    Indy show in March!!!

    Show promoter, Barry Carter told me that the lighting was much better, better restaurant, better facilities, etc.. I hope he's right! One thing that seems better right off the bat is all the dealer rooms will be located on the first floor (same floor the show will be on) - so NO waiting /...

    Indy show in March!!!

    Yeah - it's definitely a smallish show, but it has a nice mix of vendors from metal to new plastic to vintage Marx, etc. As mentioned there seems to be more time to chat with vendors and fellow collectors - definitely not rushed... A good time to get to know people and talk (and buy) toy...

    Indy show in March!!!

    I don't think it's too early - not much more than 2 months off. I've actually started uploading new info to the website. If you haven't visited it, here's the link: http://www.playsetmagazine.com/IndyShow/index.html It IS early as far as vendor registrations go.. I will be adding vendors as...

    Baseball Hall of Fame = Joke

    Ok - so, yes I'm a Reds fan and a Barry Larkin fan.. So I'll just list some of his accomplishments (looks like a HOFer to me): All-Star - 12 times Silver Slugger Award - 9 times Gold Glove Award - 3 times MVP - 1 time World Series Championship - 1 time First 30-30 Shortstop in baseball Listed...

    Frontier tavern and cabin question

    Matthew, Understood, I'm sure other collectors would like more buildings with interior detail - but it comes down to a business decision as the sculpting and molding is more costly. Having said that - here's a piece with removable roof and interior 2nd floor interior detail...

    Frontier tavern and cabin question

    Hi Matthew, You're correct - neither the Frontier Tavern or Cabin have removeable roofs. The "Separate Roof" of the Cabin refers to the porch roof. Regards, Jim

    The Battle of Talavera.............

    Awesome set up George! This is a good reminder of how the smaller figures can be used to show massed armies... I can't imagine how large that battlefield would be in 54mm! Jim

    The London Show pictures got me to thinking.........

    Marx Playsets were some my greatest and most cherished Christmas presents. I lived in a small town in SE Kentucky - so I didn't even know what Marx was coming out with until we got the annual Sears Wishbook in the mail.. Some of my favorites presents (including some non-Marx, in no particular...

    HELP (looking for....)

    Aleš - the Indians are made of a different resin (very similar to soft plastic) in the U.S. It would be cost prohibitive to have them all painted... The buffalo were produced in China where it's a lot more cost effective to have them painted...... You can PM me if you have any other questions...
