He's on his way - Can he save the day? (1 Viewer)

[Old Bill]

He's just landed in my house - to a rousing reception - and he's now on his way flying over night to be on the Grey Goose Collectables stand at the London Toy Soldier Show
tomorrow 5th December 2015.

Can he save the day?????? (Well he certainly made mine!)

Had to resurrect this thread, as "Biggles" somehow slipped under the radar of BOTH Al and I. There must have been an office-party the night before, or something equally disorienting. I had seen the figure in a promo pic, sprinting out of a nissan-hut, side-by-side, with "Algy Coleman." Having not read the fine-print on Roy's post above, I waited for the figure to be released...and waited...and waited. About a week ago, I fortuitously came across one on Ebay.UK. However, the seller in question wouldn't ship to the USA. Completely unable to live without the set that had eluded me for two years, I sought help from who else? Why, Roy of course! I actually contacted him looking for someone to act as a middleman for the ebay purchase. However, Roy did me much, much better than that. He agreed to part company with not only HIS Biggles, but the mysterious pilot figure that was Grey Goose's promo figure for this year's London show, as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Roy!

Sounds like "Roy" !

In my brief communications with Roy, he comes off as being, what in the olde days we called a "Real Gentleman", and knowledgeable collector.

Congratulations Moe !
