A puzzle for Scott (Britfarmer) and other barnyard specialists.:confused: I bought the two items below at a toy store in France which is a bit like a toys r us. I thought it would be a good Christmas gift for my grandson. As you can see the box says Britains, 1:32 scale. In small print it is...

Happy Birthday Dick. I wish you a good day with your loved ones and maybe a glance or two at your fine old Britains collection. All the best, Russell A photo to share the toys that we enjoy. :)

I have a fair number of the glossy French-Indian War / Bluecoat / Redcoat series. But the Indians and French are out-numbered. Is there any hope for Indians, and Montcalm and others in the future? I'd love Indians hanging around the longhouse, going hunting, at the trading post, hiding in the...

I saw this on Yahoo news yesterday. I hope the captain had some extra strength Tylenol. Is that container slipping into the sea my order of Britains?:confused::o Maybe some K&C is also slipping overboard. Happened close to Mumbai I believe.

This weekend I was at a rest stop on the highway and took a photo of this odd thing: the next dodo bird.

I’ve been reading a book about the development of the tank. Years ago I wondered why these armoured vehicles were called tanks. But then my attention shifted to something else, probably a cool beer, and the tank question sank into the mire of my unconscious. Then I got a book titled ‘Tanks from...

Some of you asked what I'd gotten in Chicago. I went to the show hoping to find some Napoleonic Soldiers of the World, some Hiriart toy soldiers, and good castings. I had no luck with the castings, and the only Napoleonic Soldiers of the World available were picked up by someone else while I...

The following photos are from the Ted Toy.com table. The first photo is from the Crimean line: Britains and Monarch I believe. The two other photos are from the Samuri line. The Oriental Figures that he carries are really beautiful.

Wishing my fellow Canadians on the forum a happy Canada Day. May we remain united with care and respect for one another.

In this set of four woodland Indians one of them is pretty black. Why did Frontline do this? Is it supposed to be an especially dark tan? :confused:

Vacation time is just around the corner and despite the ailing economy some of us will have the good fortune to be travelling for the holidays. For example, I'll be in the American south-west in late August. So I thought we could all give one another some tips on what to visit in our areas, be...

I just received Toy Soldier Magazine today, issue #134, which is the July 2009 issue. It's June 1st :eek:. In letters to the editor someone writes about the prices of toy soldiers and wonders whether or not they are more expensive now than they used to be. Considering inflation he writes that...

Victoria Day is a National Holiday here in Canada and falls on the first Monday on or before 24 May - which is today:). My wife and I had a walk in the park and we saw people with their barbeques everywhere. It smelled great. So to other Commonwealth, or former Commonwealth country members...
