Its a 2011 Brand New. At first dealer wanted to send a man down to bring it up, but I had them ship it up in a covered carrier so it would have no road time. It is a 6-Speed with the Hurst Option. Should be great fun......when it gets driven!^&grin

Ah I picked up a 426HP Camaro SS!^&grin I simply took a test ride, which turned into a vehicle search.....found what I wanted in Virginia and they are bringing it up by covered carrier. Should have it first part of the week! Now about getting it home to Georgia!^&grin

My thanks for all the wonderful comments from my friends here on the forum. I must say it is a little overwhelming. I knew the day would come, but now there are so many things to do....it's hard to know where to start. I have excellent advisors, so it will all work out, but it will certainly...

I have not been very active on the forum lately, or very responsive to messages as I have been dealing with my Dad's declining health. He passed on Wednesday and I thought I would post this short note. My Dad was a WWII Vet who received the Bronze Star for his actions in France and Germany. He...

Hate is a strong word.......however in this case I agree.

..................................................................................................... Brad that was an excellent auction, I finally got my Arnhem ambulance jeep! I hope we see another auction soon with interesting early items!

.................................................................................................. Thanks, and remember you can find anything, thats half the fun of collecting.:)

........................................................................................................ It was a nice tank at the time, but nothing like the detail in the newer products. I was quite excited many years ago when I finally located one. Wife took the wind right out of my sails...

WS70SL is a very nice tank with production as stated of 999. When first produced it took quite awhile to sell out, now however it is popular with collectors and has sold in the $250-$750 range over the years. In the current market place I would expect one could be had for $400-$500.

WS15W was the first "Winter Tiger" with the exception of the early wooden pieces. Production was 100 pieces and value has varied between $500-$1000 when it becomes available.

Ho Hum.

Interesting thread, I believe many collectors find the economy, and rising costs associated with the hobby reasons to be concerned. I think the market has become saturated with products (as usual) and until the situation corrects itself we will continue to see this topic discussed. Many of us...

Interesting observation! I would say my spending is down 99.8% in toy soldier marketplace.:eek: However that could change if the right retired items suddenly became available. Reguarding new items, I rarely look at current offerings. All of this would be great if my spending on Smith Miller...

................................................................................................... Michael, always nice to read a post from you!:) I am sorry to hear that you have had further health issues, and hope you feel better soon! Don't feel you are alone as more then a few...

Chuck is a great friend, and terrific member of our Forum. He always has a funny story, or thought to bring a smile to your face. Heres wishing him a break with his health issues, and I will certainly give him a call this week. We all should just to wish him well.:)

Certainly sad news. Lets hope his buddies from Easy Company are welcoming him home!

I have multiples of Vietnam, Arnhem, Backlot Buildings, I enjoy seeing the variations in the series I collect.:)

..................................................................................................... Yes, took me 3 months to receive $600 from Germany Post Office.....what a mess! I ship via FedEx in the US no problem. I use USPS for international and a private insurance company which...

.................................................................................................... Michael I believe you make excellent points. Its going to be interesting to see who is still around once the economic situation improves, and who can say when that will happen?

I'm going to finish up with retired Arnhem and call it a day. For me its a combination of room, or lack of.:D Production, as in over-production of.:eek: And finally economy.....once again lack of.:rolleyes: You can now find most items on Ebay below original cost, so I guess the cycle...
