Hi guys how many of you out there are going to call it quits over the next year.I do not want to get into reasons why the prices are going up or this has caused this and such has deamed these cost increases.But I want to hear from the working guy who is raising a family and finding it tough to have money left over for lets say toys.I am still in the game so far but I have to collect only a few sets each year and I am finding it hard to choose.When I first started to collect K&C say Four years ago I thought how dear they were and how can I manage this hobby of mine.Well the times have changed and the prices have risen and the OZ dollar has died and this leaves me with can I continue.It will be a shame if I fall by the way as I have a great little collection just starting to take shape.Are there any collectors out there not going to start or stay with toy soldiers because it is becoming something only the rich & famous can collect.I remember playing dirt wars with my Airfix soldiers under the house as a kid and you no what they were all killed and no one won the battle.I guess I am facing another battle now with cost.Sure hope I can win this one.Simmo.
