Hi Mike,

I can certainly understand not noticing much beyond the figures you mentioned, especially the Britains Durbar elephant. The Britains Durbar elephant is stunning! The trouble with visiting a shop is there is so much to see, a person may not be able to focus on everything that is there. Most importantly, you had a great time and that is what counts!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Scott,


You must lose your focus and join the ranks of Little Legion. I am not sure how much longer I can resist the call of the WB Zulu Range. Every time I see the hospital at the Shoppe, my resitance falls a Little, but thank goodness the Little Legion cabinet is across the isle.

So it seems that we are the reverse of each other then Brian. I think that both are great and I may have room for a little legion dio somewhere in my cabinet.

Thanks for the pictures and report Mike. I would like to see Paul's shop. Some of my friends from the Military Society of Illinois were taking a "field trip" to Paul's open house. They also said a new military museum opened in Northern Ill. or Wisc. area. I will find out more when I talk to my friend Al who organized the trip. John

Good morning John, how the heck are you? Paul has a very nice shop. It's certainly not the biggest store I have ever been in, but what it lacks in size is made up by the fact that there is only two things offered for sale; collectible hand painted metal toy soldier figure sets and Osprey books - nothing else. Everything is neatly displayed on shelving that allows you not only a very good look at the detail the set has to offer, but also welcomes you the chance to actually hold the piece. I enjoyed my visit and Paul was absolutely a wonderful host. I think his idea of having an annual collector's event, sponsored by a major manufacturer and publisher is just terrific.

I know exactly what you mean Jagd, but man was it sweet looking. And the mounted British Lancers and the mounted German cavalry that were display next to the limber & gun set were absolutely stunning. All of the WB WWI sets were fantastic - makes me wish I had started collecting WWI - that's all I need, another range addiction.

Mike, I've been reading through your posts and enjoying your photos. I'm not surprised you had a great visit, and I'm sorry I missed it this year. I see some excellent things in some of those photos. Thanks for filling us all in on the event.

Thanks for the pictures and the report.
Does he really have a website?
I do not think it is listed on WM Hockers Resource site.
I have been wishing for him to get one for years so it will be great if he does have one

 

[4th Hussar]

Yes he does just google Toy Soldier Shoppe

Its a "work in progress" and is not as up to date all the time. It gives you a general idea what Paul has to offer but you still need to call Paul to verify what's in stock and to place your order.
