I have it on good authority that there will be a symposium on the evening of May 21, featuring Ken Osen of W.Britain, Daniel Martinez, Chief Historian at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, and John Wayne impressionist Jack Edmonson. As with tradition, the symposium will include a Mexican...

I'm going! I live in Chicago though, so it's not all together that difficult of a trek to make. :)

I’m so happy to hear that such a venerable toy soldier manufacturer as W Britain has taken over the Texas Toy Soldier Show and that it will stay at the Menger Hotel. Andy and team always did a wonderful job of meshing history with toy soldiers in their production of the show, and I have no doubt...

Ray and Bre did a great interview with Don in September 2019 for their "Ray and Bre Live" YouTube Channel, in which Don talks about his history of collecting and that of the Chicago Toy Soldier Show. He also shares some of his massive personal collection during the interview. You can see it...

With this being the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend, I’m feeling nostalgic for what I think was by far the best toy soldier show of them all – The Texas Toy Soldier Show. I feel that way because it was just so much more than a toy soldier show. In addition to the two days of the show...

I'm so glad that the “SATURDAY NIGHT SYMPOSIUM” is finally back! It's just not a Texas Toy Soldier Show without it. No one's happier about it than this guy. Thank you Andy. :)

Hello Everyone. The final details of the dinner are now in. Rather than being in the Colonial Room restaurant of the Menger Hotel, we will now be in the Minuet room at 7:00 thanks to KingsX, who kindly allowed us to use the room through their preexisting agreements with the hotel. The dinner...

Yes Marc, there is still space available. I've added you to the invite list. Please check back soon for more details. Paul

We got you down John. See you there.

You've been added to the list Jason. See you there.

Will do Tom. See you soon.

Hello Everyone: If you’re coming to the Texas Toy Soldier Show this year, please make plans on joining a small group of collectors for dinner at the Colonial Room restaurant of the Menger Hotel on Saturday, May 27 at 7:00. In addition to myself, the dinner is being organized by Daniel...

Any word as to whether there will be symposium this year? Last year wasn't quite the same without one.

I plan on going. The worst part of it though, is that my friend Steven Bell won't be attending as he's expecting a baby. The best part of it though, is that my friend Steven Bell won't be attending as he's expecting a baby. :)

Major score Andy. You had me at "Band of Brothers," and the figure sounds amazing. And oh yeah, those Menger enchiladas... worth the $69 alone. :)

I love Dad's Army too. (I think I'm one of the few Americans that's even familiar with it.) If there is any personality line I would like to see, it would be Band of Brothers. Love those guys.

Thanks gentlemen. Great suggestions all around. I went ahead and bought "World War 1, Day by Day" by Alex Hook as an ebook. It was just the type of thing I was looking for. Thanks again.

As the 100th anniversary of WWI quickly approaches, I would like to follow the events as they occurred 100 years ago starting with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28. Can anyone recommend a book, app, and/or website that provides such daily content? Thanks in advance.

I love the little record player between the two chairs. Where does he get those wonderful toys?

And in the greatest episode of all ("Flight Club"), James May flew a balsa glider 22 miles from Barnstaple Devon across the Bristol Channel to south Wales; truly amazing. Thanks for turning me on to this show, as it continues to surprise and delight. I can't wait for the next installment...
