Been collecting for 50 years and just finished cataloging my glossy figures. 21,000+ inclucing Britains, Trophy, TedToy, Quartermaster, Little Legion, ATS,
Soldiers of the World, Brigade, Mulberry, Tradition, Steadfast, Monarch, Somerset, Minimen, Tommy Atkins and a host of small makers.
Matt figures would probably add a few thousand more.
If anyone is looking for specific makers and sets let me know and I'll be happy to quote you a reasonable price.
Many glossy vehicles as well.

If you have any Heco Tinplate items for sale, I would be very interested.

I have more than 200 vehicles, 71 aircraft, 16 dioramas, 40+ buildings and facades, and too many figures to accurately count (I would estimate I have more than 2,000).

I actually counted today, and I have exactly 2,300 figures on display in the museum. I have at least another 2,000 (mostly non-K&C) figures in boxes in the storage areas behind the walls, but I have no intention of trying to pull them all out and count them.

Hiding them from the wife?

No, the wife knows they are there. I just have no more room for displays.

Simon,

I also want to live to see my children grow up, something unlikely to happen if I invade another portion of the house with my collection!

No sense of adventure.

I have more than Louis!! Just kidding of course! I only got into K&C about a year ago. I have 6 K&C vehicles and over 60 soldiers - WWII, Am Revolution, CW, and Napoleonic (mostly WWII). I have 2 K&C buildings and 1 bridge. I also bought 3 vehicles of other manufacturers last year. The largest part of my soldier collection is still other manufacturers and almost all CW - about 150 of them.

Exactly 1, the Hitler Youth flagbearer. It was a Xmas gift from a friend.

I currently collect only Knights at Agincourt (Forward March & Britains) and Crimean War figures ( Britains & Frontline). I tend to collect by battles or wars more than by makers.

I don't have any of the K&C Crimean figures because they are too expensive and I prefer gloss over matt finishes.

after reading some of these threads, and with it raining outside , i think i am going to go home this weekend an actually count what i have. the scary thing is that i know its too much. i like some of the tips about catalouging with pictures and lists for the wife in case i kick the bucket. i am actually thinking i could use the collection to pay for the kids college expenses but secretly i hope inside that i will be able to hang on to it. anybody else out there thinking the same thing?
