I haven't been on the forum for a while so not sure if this is answered or not. Does anyone have any idea what the Xmas set will be this year?

I'm dealing with alot of humidity at the moment here in Ottawa and was wondering if anyone can tell me what is the ideal temperature/humidity for storing Britains and other vintage lead figures?

Anybody been watching the HBO John Adams mini-series? My knowledge of US history is not great but is looks authentic and the outfits, uniforms, and back drops are great.

Hello Durbar fans, I have 3 of the 4 Britains Durbar elephants. Do any of you have the Britains #8848 Durbar elephant that you want to part with?

I imagine many of you know Lynn Kenwood of MKL Models in the UK. I just bought a replacement 40184 Britains Durbar elephant from him and received it within a week and a half. Currently you can get 40184 and 40184 on sale if you buy them together for 102GBP.

I recently received my Britains 2008 Collectors Club package and noticed in the latest Standard that a new article series on Britains Limited Editions mentions that a 25th anniversary booklet is to be produced later this year listing, with photos I assume, all the limited editions produced since...

I thought members may be interested in this 2-dimensional wooden "toy" soldier I had made for me by a Brit colonel, Keith Kiddie, on exchange here in Canada. He does it for a hobby. He usually does British regiments in period dress and tries to be as accurate as possible. I asked him to do one...

I see in my Feb issue of OTS Journal a 2-page add outlining Norman Joplin's new Britains book on figures 1973 to present, including a photo. Does anyone get this journal as my scanner is not working? The book is published by Schiffer although nothing is about it on their site. The photo of the...

I'm not sure if this has been asked before. If so, please direct me to the thread. I will be attending the December toy soldier show and thought I would also check London militaria/antique shops for soldiers. Does anyone know any such shops in London?

Richard, I just downloaded a K&C wallpaper from their site. Seems like a good idea, why don't you consider when updating your site. You could easily use some of the stock photos or ones from shows.

I received my 2007 Club figure a few days ago. Its the highlander at the ready from the "Thin Red Line" painting. I'm impressed with the paint and detail. However, the bottom of the base has "2006" on it as well as some other number. Anybody know why the year is wrong? Although they were...

Geoff Duin's site is a great vintage Britains resource for those unaware of it. He has scanned a 1950s set list of Britains soldiers which I find very useful and I have printed. This is the kind of resource I hope the revamped Britains site will be able to offer. Can you imagine complete...

For those interested, Ebay/Vectis currently has numerous Britains catalogues from the last 100 years up for auction.

Do any of you other Britains Collector Club members know what year The Standard changed from small to its current size? Mine aren't with me here in Ottawa and I want to order some binders?:confused:

A UK person is selling the 2007 Britains catalogue on Ebay already! How is it that we in North America don't even have ours yet though?:confused: Where is it printed? I'm a member of the Collector's Club and I've been told to expect it in a couple of weeks. I would have thought dealers would...

Ken, Richard, et alia, Will the WBritains Collectors' Club website be updated in February? Possibly with the complete or partial catalogue at the same time as the catalogue is sent out? Can you tell us what are the plans for the site? I realize everybody is busy and updates are planned but can...

How about a Britains poll? I have been back through all the Britains threads and I do not recall ever seeing one. Perhaps one on limited editions or even new releases? For limited edition, if it has to be a band, how about the new regimental Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland? For new...

For anyone interested in close-up photos of Swoppet Knights as well as an interesting history of them compiled by Steve Burns, check Britains Swoppet Knights.:)

For Richard or Ken, or anyone else that knows.... I have several of the original Britains Deetail sets and would like to get the new 2006 Super Deetail ones. I was wondering if Britains has any plans to issue these as Super Deetail boxed sets, like it did with the original series? Perhaps with...
