Britains Display in Hamley's window 2003 (1 Viewer)

I thought I'd share these happy snaps I came across last night in some photos - not the best, as its ahrd to get a good shot of this store front, well, trying to avoid getting passersby in the photos is the hardest part in fact - a very busy street.
But a nice shop window display nonetheless.
Hopefully you can make something out within the photo's.

Very cool indeed! I will certainly take a look at the shop when we go to London later this year. I enjoyed seeing figures for sale in the Duty Free area at Heathrow so I can only imagine what they have at the actual store.

Don't expect too much Dave. I have been to Hamley's many times and every time I go there I see less and less toy soldiers on display.
Still a pretty impressive store.

If it's toy soldier displays you want try the toy soldier shop outside the Guards Museum in Birdcage Walk near Buckingham Palace. It's great.

It was the Britains window display at Marshall Field's (Chicago) in the mid 1950s that got me interested in toy soldiers. I remember it still.

Great display and photos. Thanks for the memories!

Hi Paul,

I will be going to see our friends at MKL aka The Guards Toy Soldier Shop. Have purchased from them via the web and a friend picked somethings up for me there to save some postage. So I will be there for sure. But I will have to offer the wife and kids an olive branch and if Hamleys has something they like I am sure I will find something I like...
