Thanks very much Brad. I'll contact you. Thanks to you as well Pete for sorting the attachment issue. All the best, Dan

Hello, I have not been an active member for a bit as I've had to put the hobby on the back burner. However, I have had this figure sitting on a shelf for awhile now and thought I might reach out to the forum for help in identifying the origin and unit identity of the piece...

Cheers! Same to you and yours. Thanks for all the wonderful things you have done for the hobby. ~Dan

Cheers Len! And a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well. ~Dan

Yes indeed! I'm pretty sure that a few viewings of Beau Geste has something to do with that large Beau Geste Play Set stored downstairs at my place. In this case it was a residual movie-watching effect though. The scarier part for me is that I caught myself trolling for some nice metal Foriegn...

Yes indeed! Rather nicely done. Cheers, ~Dan

My, but that is rather sweet! Nice acquisition! Cheers, ~Dan

Makes me rather glad I didn't "thin" my Trophy collection a few years back. I'd probably be kicking myself right about now. Too bad, I also always seem to find a reason to hold on to most of my sets as well. :) Does make one think though. Cheers, ~Dan

Re: trophy on ebay - Big Money for WA4! Recently closed on E-Bay: TROPHY NAPOLEONIC BRITISH INF KNEELING FIRING #WA4 MIB US $676.66 :eek: What am I missing? That seems an insane price, not that I would be unhappy to get it for that set myself. :) I've been away from collecting for a bit so...

Thanks Dave. Nice to have found the place. Probably not going to be good for the wallet though. :-) Been very slow on my collecting over the last few years but surfing these pages has really got my interest back up. Cheers, ~Dan

Here are a couple of quick shots of the ACW diorama in my display cabinet. Not trying to capture anything specific here. This is just what came from a steady addition of matte ACW sets. Cheers, ~Dan

So.... a bit late to the party but I have one as well. TM between the headlights too. I know this diorama isn't historically accurate but the car fit in nicely. :) Cheers, ~Dan

Cheers! That makes sense. Any thoughts on when Trophy was putting that particular flag out? I've attached a shot from the 1998 catalogue that depicts this type of flag. ~Dan

Thanks Martyn! The 1998 catalogue doesn't reference the flag anywhere in print however the figure in the picture is carrying this type of flag. I had asked Mike at TofT about it and he turned up a couple of figures. The "Mk1" was a hand written addition to the set number on the box. I figure...

I thought I would share this picture. The set is WA68E (Eagle Bearer - Lancers of Berg) however the box is marked MK1 flag. I got this from TofT around 2005. I had seen this type of flag in the 1998 ToW catalogue but never on any web sites or in any shops. Does anyone know the story behind this...

Thanks Martyn. Same to you! Looks like I'm starting my holiday early this year so I may be able to get some pixs up over the next couple of days. Surfing through the threads on the forum has been getting me all sorts of fired up. The bride is getting nervous as I keep going back to the display...

Your not alone Konrad. It doesn't happen with every movie but there are certainly some which get me to thinking. I find that it happens with books as well. In fact, I 'm pretty sure there is a direct linkage between the movie Waterloo and the "Sharpe" book on Waterloo, and the Highland square...

Thanks for the replies. I picked these up at a Westcoaster back when I was stationed in California. There was no box and the guy who sold them to me was unsure of the maker. At the time the only Boxer set I had was the French Chasseurs D' Afrique (BS39). This looked like it might complement...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum but have been collecting toy soldiers for about 12 years. I was very happy to trip across this site as my interest in toy soldiers has been recently rekindled. I collected pretty heavily, for me anyway, early on but have slowed in recent years. The majority...
