It has become evident to me that for those of us who collect 19th C British Colonials Trophy's demise was a major loss. Unfortunately I entered the hobby after they were gone and I don't do eBay nor will I pay the high prices on the secondary market.
 
Hello Martyn,

Athough set for the Afghan War of the 19th Century, it could well be a scene in the present day conflict.

I guess the weapons would be AK-47s now, but the dress may not be much different.

Kind Regards, Raymond.:)

Hi Randy

I agree that the loss of Trophy has been a great blow and although I have dabbled in buying from Ebay the vast bulk of my collection was purchased from MKL.

I have just finished watching KHARTOUM and this has given me a few new ideas for my Anglo Egyptian force.;)

Meanwhile, back to Zululand.....................

Cheers

I would refer to the demise of Trophy as more akin to a traumatic amputation than anything else.

Martyn,

"Khartoum" is another of my favourite movies, in part because of the Camel Corps.

The segment of the battle scene with the Camel Corps was way too short.

The Camel Corps formed a nice Square Formation.

It appeared to end rather abruptly and prematurely leaving the viewer wondering how the battle ended.

Is this the case with your DVD?

Cheers, Raymond.:)

Hi Raymond

Mine is exactly the same, it appears to have the Camel Corps stopped in their tracks and the next scenes have them boarding the small launches.

Cheers

Thats true to a certain point, but you can sometimes find Trophy items at what I believe reasonable prices. Most will be either incomplete sets or unboxed items, but to me the important thing is the figure iself.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Trophy were expensive when new and still being made.
