Hi All A friend's brother has passed on and he had a collection that the family has no interest in. I have volunteered to try and sell the items on their behalf. As I have little idea of demand or value, I thought I would post here as a starting point. All prices are open to offer, however...

At the recent Brisbane K&C Dinner, Andy reminded all about how important the 'Bricks and Mortar' Toy Soldier shops are; in fact there are only 3 in the whole of Australia. So today I followed Andy's advice and spend 2 hours in my local Toy Solider shop. Not only did I start a complete new line...

Part of my RAF display, with King and Country Warbird, King and Country Glossy, Kind and Country, Frontline, Forward March (Gorgi), Traditional, Asset, William Britains and Del Prado. Scales wise they all go together (more or less). Thanks Scott

If there is one true benefit of collecting Toy Soldiers as a hobby is the fact that, after 50 years, I finally get Birthday presents and XMAS presents that I actually like! Cheers Scott

Where to start; First there is the decision of what to buy; a plane, a tank, a figure? Then there is the problem of how to display them, I once bought a beautiful glass cabinet with lights and backing mirror only to find it is now too small. Do I spend $1000 on another display cabinet or more...

I collect sets from across a number of different manufactures. Some of course are more expensive than others. It has always played on my mind, should my house burn down ( please hope it doesn't), is there any particular set you that you would miss the most? ie the insurance paid out, what is...

Please forgive me, I am doing a test to see if I can upload a picture. Apologies to all.

Whilst there is always numerous debate about the accuracy of items, ie the rivot counters ' the plane looks great however in November 1940 there was no colour red as all the earthworms had died due to the un-seasonally cold weather', I always enjoy the comments in threads that relate the item to...

Is it acceptable to talk your 8 year old son into wanting an item that will be delivered by Santa to him for XMAS that in fact will really be added to Dads' collection. It worked last year with the MG, I was wondering if I am stretching good parenting too far by getting a WW1 Plane for this XMAS!

Whilst I rarley post there is an up side to the latest pricing discussions. When a poly plane was under $200 you could buy 4 planes for the cost of one wooden warbird. This was very hard to justify for me. Now with the Typhoon you can only buy two planes for the cost of a wooden warbird. So I...
