Thought I would post photos of my Chicago haul! I was only there 2 days this year due to a family wedding but found some great bargains and a personal holy grail:

Oldie but goodie, Figarti's first series Chinese/Japanese War, Japanese Commander

Manes Marzano Camels - I love the box as much as the figures!

More Toy Army Workshop Gurkhas to go with my other sets!

Toy Army Workshop German A7 Tank, minor holy grail

Trophy Xmas 1990 Bear

Somerset Indian Army Regiment Guides

K&C IC02

Figarti/K&C Event Figures

Holy Grail in next post!

Let's see what you found!

Part 2

Recasts by Unicorn of Charles Halls Laurel and Hardy as Sherlock Holmes!

Holy Grail for me - Limited SKODA Mortar Set from Toy Soldier Shoppe (Wisconsin), super rare!


Shows are always lots of fun. Great chance to visit friends which is mainly why I go, finding the above stuff is just gravy!

Nice haul, Tom!

I didn't know anyone had re-issued the old Superior Skoda set. It was originally sold as a kit, and it was exquisite. The barrel was rifled, and the figures were very well sculpted.

One note, though, I think the Figarti figure at the start is actually a Chinese officer, not Japanese, from his uniform.

No Reeves/King-White finds?

Prost!

Ya, I think I have every type now, but all different promos! I would assume a ton of these were made for various things over the years!

Not a bad price, I got mine for $10!

Martyn, if you do see the Nap one or a Coonskin Cap one, grab me them at London if you remember, happy to pay the fare and shipping. If not, no biggie, but they look neat!

Dear Tom:

I had purchased "Set#002" of the old Superior Miniatures "25th Anniversary" issue of the WW1 Austrian Army Skoda Mortar by Bill Schommer at the Toy Soldier Shoppe then in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. I sold it as an ad hoc dealer for about the same price I paid for it during the Old Toy Soldier (OTS) Show back in 2003, the first and very last time I will be a "dealer" at the OTS show. Selling on eBay, etc is a better way to go if you are not a full time dealer. I also like your special set of Unicorn's Laurel & Hardy (L&H) as Holmes & Watson! I now have #14 L&H sets made by "Unicorn Miniatures" or Robert W. Armstrong of N.E. England.
