Every time I see the title of this thread, I think of Tom T. Hall's song... Prost! Brad This is what I get for growing up as a kid in the Seventies, with just AM radio to listen to.

How do you participate in the hobby, John? That is, are you strictly a collector, buying finished figures, or do you also paint your own? I ask because I don't know of any clubs today that are just people who collect toy soldiers. As George mentioned, there is the Long Island Miniature...

Probably not. I think the show is defunct at this point.

I think the leftmost figure is supposed to be Rudyard Kipling, and I think I have seen him and these others posted elsewhere in the Internet, recently. I thought it might have been in the Facebook group "mytoysoldiersandme". But I went back through the images posted there, going back to the...

I think because the other thread was 86'd.

I like the Prussian SYW cuirassier figure. It's a true 54mm, and it's crisply sculpted and cast. But Del Prado mislabeled it. It's an officer, not a trooper. I wish they had produced a trooper, too. But I acquired a mold to cast some, so I can make a set. Prost! Brad

Rumor is that Dave Dombrowski will hire Cora to replace Rob Thompson in Philadelphia. He hired Cora for Boston. But apparently Dombrowski offered him the Phillies manager role and Cora turned it down. Don Mattingly is filling in as interim manager, in the meantime. No surprise that Thompson...

It's not Trophy or K&C, but I can't remember the mark. The "M" is "Miniatures", if I remember correctly. I think it's a Mexican infantryman from the War for Texan Independence. Prost! Brad

You know what annoys me? That the character of Maggie in "Caddyshack", played by Sarah Holcombe, is played as an Irish girl. It makes no sense. There's no explanation of how an Irish girl shows up at a country club in Indiana. And Holcombe's accent is poor, It just seems unnecessary. Prost...

It's not about deterrence. It's about justice.

I think it's funny that someone thought the WNBA is such a money-maker that he ran right out and started a second women's professional basketball league, "Unrivalled". Well, to be more precise, it's a couple of women basketball players behind it. But it's really just the WNBA with less whorish...

I enjoy watching the spring training games, too. I like seeing the prospects teams have acquired or the farm hands they're bringing up, guys who have been traded or took free agency, to see how they do with their new teams. New managers and coaches. It's fun to get a look before the season...

The premise was the background Frederick Forsythe used for "The Odessa File". And yeah, I'm not impressed with Felton. Who mentioned The History Channel? Yeah, that's the same league, pretty much. Prost! Brad

Personal attacks. This thread is close to the banning precipice again.

I just read this story this morning, that NBC is shaking up the lineup on "Sunday Night Football". They're dropping Coach Tony Dungy from the broadcast lineup. https://nypost.com/2026/02/25/sports/tony-dungy-likely-out-at-nbc-as-network-looks-to-retool/ It looks like contracts are expiring...

I have made this point before-we have regressed in terms of maturity over the past 70 years, and that is a symptom of the childishness that obtains in our society.

The Phillies used to, back when Dallas Green was still alive and was the director of player development. Between him and Ed Wade, they developed the talent that made up the rosters in the 2000s. We got to see most of those players when they were at Double-A Reading. Prost! Brad

And I just thought of a comedic turn Bobby D did, on SNL back in 1998. Garth Brooks was the guest host and they appeared in a sketch of a game show called, "Who's More Grizzled?". Norm MacDonald played the host.

I had forgotten that he was in George Lucas' "THX1138", too. That had grown out of a film school project Lucas did in grad school. Prost! Brad

@Warrior George, I'm reminded again of the time you looked at the floor plan from our show from around 1993 and noted all the vendors who were there back then, and who have since passed on. Prost! Brad
