That is crazy !! I can't even buy castings for that price.

That is kind of what I thought, too, even though I don't buy castings. The 2011 list price for nine-figure Hiriart sets is $125. So that is quite a sale! There is another eBayer, nmtoys, who has just listed set 1146 Berlin Infanterie for $199 plus $11.98 shipping. I find the range of Hiriart prices on the secondary market to be interesting. Of course, the question always is: What did they ultimately sell for?

1911 Delhi Durbar-King George V and Maharaja' and Queen Mary and Prince of Wales and Escorts just arrived.

Very cool Tommy, you can never have too many elephants................or is that camels

Tommy,

They look great! Unfortunately, those are the only two Durbar elephant sets Hiriart has in its' catalog. The elephant with machine gun crew set we are both going to get in June doesn't go with the Durbar, but I am looking forward to adding it to my collection anyway, as I hope you are.

Best regards,

I believe the answer is both! Here are stock photos of five Hiriart camel sets that I added to my collection last year. I also have add-on sets of each (except the artillery set) with four extra camel troopers. My British Camel Corps set in gray tunics doesn't look exactly like the photo since it has a bugler in place of one the troopers. In June, I should be receiving Egyptian and Sudanese Infantry sets to go with them.

Patron3085 currently has another inexpensive Hiriart offering on eBay. It is an officer and 10 men from the King' Own Scottish Borderers at $75 plus $25 shipping. The standard catalog set, #1175, has nine figures with an officer, piper, and seven men.

I recently asked Hiriart about what new sets they were working on for release this year. I mentioned several on the Latin American thread, but two World War II themed sets were British Infantry in North Africa wearing shorts with a General Montgomery personality figure and a Battle of Midway set including pilots. I'll post photos when I get them.

Previously, I posted an eBay photo of this set which was not very good. Here is a better stock photo of set 1012 COLDSTREAM GUARDS, IN WINTER COATS which I just received from Uruguay two days ago. It is a handsome set. There is also a companion full band set, number 1024, which I do not yet have.

 

[ucla1967]

The previous photo from eBay that I posted of this set, number 1116 THE SUFFOLK REGT, IN WINTER COATS, was not the stock catalog set. Here is the correct catalog stock photo.

The colour sergeant in set 1012 COLDSTEAM GUARDS IN WINTER COATS is not visable in my earlier post. Here is a close-up of him

Here are photos of set 1093 FRENCH GARDE REPUBLICAINE and a close-up of the flag bearer.
