‘Sweet Home Chicago’... Sold Out!!! (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that K&C is now ‘sold-out’ of the special ‘Vietnam’ show figures set celebrating the 40[SUP]th[/SUP] Anniversary of the Chicago Toy Soldier Show.

Actually we don’t have enough for our own customers!

The good news is that three of our top U.S. Dealers will have them for sale at the Show itself.

So, anyone still wanting this unique little set please contact any of the following:
TREEFROG TREASURES
SIERRA TOY SOLDIERS
HOBBY BUNKER
or make sure to visit them at the Show itself.

All the best good luck and... happy hunting!
Andy

Yikes that was quick, which indicates how good this set is. Robin.

Dang ! Glad I ordered one set within hours of them being released then !

And here was I thinking if there were still plenty left I'd get a couple more sets later. Obviously a much coveted Cubs fan Soldier or maybe it's the Bunny Girl that does it ! :salute::

I would love a version with a White Sox cap.

Anybody know if this is based on a specific Chicago Playboy Playmate?

Or do I need to enjoy doing the research myself?

Bridport mate,
Miss Jo Collins visited 173rd Airborne Brigade (The Herd) at Camp Bien Hoa on Day Six of Operation Crimp, 13th January, 1966 The magazine promised that the first edition of any lifetime subscription would be personally delivered by a Playmate and this offer was taken up. Accordingly Miss Collins arrived and was flown to various locations in a specially painted Huey, a gleaming black decor with the rabbit head logo of the magazine and "Playboy Special'on the sides. The Prize was won by Lt. Jack Price, 173rd Airborne wounded in Hospital at the time.

It's uncanny how much that woman looks like a woman I work with. Ironically, she is married to a Nam vet.

DEFINATELY would have been an incentive to REUP!!
