Christmas gift to my Son (1 Viewer)

[tdubel]

My Son is a very particular collector, wonder where he got that from...................Anyhow, he only collects Aeroart or Russian, Beau Geste and vintage K&C Glossy. He has an affinity for the old K&C. Last year for Christmas he received the original Beatles set, the original Elvis for his birthday and this year...........................the holy grail - Les Mis. I was very fortunate to be able to purchase it and give it to him. In all my years of collecting, I have only ever seen it twice. Here it is on display

Unfortunately/Fortunately with his current career choice in the public eye, I don't think I will see him on forums anytime soon!

Amazing pick up Tom!

Thanks. Honestly, he loves the set, for me finding it was the thrill. Toy soldier collecting is interesting. For a great many items, I love them too and finding them is fun, for some items, the thrill of the hunt is crazy too. I keep a list of holy grails. Sadly, still many on that list because they just don't want to be found yet!

I am the same way. My holy grails include the Trophy WWI Motor Ambulance, the Heco Tinplate Models WWI German Gunboat and the Honour Bound Gold Edition Sturmtiger. I have never seen any of them in person, and have been looking for them for years. Someday ...
