Hi, all,

The vendor area is sold out. We're not taking any more vendor registrations.

Prost!

Could someone ask John about the status of the collector's club? It seems like a long time since there has been a new release. Is that kaput?

Prost!

Never say never............it had better not as per usual, the weekend of your show will be Africa hot; why is it virtually every year for MFCA an early heat wave rolls in, it's uncanny how many times that has happened...........................

 

[jazzeum]

I don’t think it’s going to be that hot and I only live an hour or so from the Show. 80 on Friday and low 70s on Saturday.

According to the weather channel (you know, the channel dedicated to national weather), the forecast for that area is a high of 88 Thursday and Friday, cooler with rain showers on Saturday. Thursday here is the same forecast, 88, which is the day I pack the inventory and load the van, so that sucks to be frank............Friday is load in and set up day, so that sucks again........................

Health permitting, I hope to be there. My first ever Toy Soldier Show.

Well as fate would have it, on the night of April 9th, I fell off the lower part of the staircase leading to our 2nd floor. I landed on my left side smashing my hip joint. I had a total hip replacement the next day and was in the hospital for two weeks. I am still doing rehab and using a walker but not ready for a dreamed of visit to thevPhilly show. I am on multiple drugs including Coumadin blood thinner since blood clots turned up in one of my lungs the day after surgery. I have been told by my doctor that full recovery could be 3 to 6 months. My best to all the TFers that attend and to John Jenkins for a great time at the show. Sorry I won't get to meet and chat with you. Take lots of pictures!!!!

John Jenkins will personally be introducing his new "Battle of Saratoga" American Revolution series.
John is here now in NY and I have seen the new figures and sculpts and can only say they are fantastic!
American Militia, Morgan's Rifles, Continentals and the first of several personality figures a mounted Benedict Arnold.
There are also two Hessian Grenadier Regiments and Jaegers with their Breymann Redoubt barricades.
Over 60 sculpts including officers, drummers, flag bearers and wounded.
John wil be visiting all his dealers at the show and he will have a display of this new series at the Minutemen booth.
I think AWI collectors and all history buffs will be delighted with this new series.

 

[zblang]

Can’t wait to see them.... and John!

I hope you gentlemen enjoy the show. I intended to be there, had booked rooms for Thursday and Friday night, and was supposed to drive down with John Jenkins and Rich Schuster. Unfortunately, my back decided to completely go out (I can't even use a cane, I have to use a walker like an octogenarian) so I had to cancel.:redface2:

Are you seeing a Dr? A person your age shouldn’t be using a walker.
