LAH Display Idea - Nuremberg Rally Podium (1 Viewer)

[kcfan]

Not to be confused with the existing "Nuremberg Stand" LAH082...do you think K&C will eventually remake this Hausser/Elastolin piece?

 

[Iron Duke]

It would be pretty cool, but I've got a moral issue with the Berlin ''38 series. I know must guys who collect it just like the uniforms designed by Hugo Boss {sm4}, but i know some who collect it are a little more...obsessive{eek3}. All that aside I would lvoe to see a parade with Der Fuehreur up on that! Especially if the photos were black and white!

Being they did the previous version already most likely not IMO. But like Andy says....Never say never. !

I used to have the moral issue you are talking about, but I came to the conclusion they are just figures. I collect them for the historical aspect and that's it. If you start emulating the policies of the regime, then yeah...that's bad.

Morale issues.......................^&confuse
Why bring it up its a question about a podium not a history lesson,i think we have all learn from it....
You say you know some people "but i know some who collect it are a little more...obsessive" do you know them personally or is a a assumption.
I collect LAH because i like it "Fullstop" nothing to do with Hugo boss etc etc.
No i don't think K&C will make this piece.

Wayne...

Have to agree with you no moral issues at all involved, unless you also include the morality of buying Waffen SS troops as these are the same guys (if you think that way about toys) that parade in these horrible black uniforms that are sitting in the turret of your favourite Tiger tanks etc.

Not being nasty but, Any moral issues here?? I hear all the time of the moral issue but, when asked about why moral people have many SS items in their collection the reply is, I get them cause I want the superior allies to blow up the nasty wasty germans!!!!! Then collections are shown and they are row upon row of tanks next to each other!!!!! or, the parade glorifies the regime!!!! so does the LAH, Das Reich, Totenkopf, and Wiking symbols on your fav AFV's

I don't see K&C making this set not to offend K&C but, I would see it as something CS would address.

Right, morning rant over and await my nazi filled K&C order!!!!

blow up the nasty wasty germans!!!!!

THAT'S IT ! I'm having enough. Just tell me time and place ...

Additionally - I'll order some more LAH troops and crash you all! {sm0}

Nice display BTW. Haven't seen this before. I'm looking for some ideas to build my own anyway.

Mitch, good point. CS may very well pick up on it as part of their line of Berlin 38`releases.

"A moral issue", I am getting a bit boarded reading this quote each time the LAH comes into the picture. You are right to say they are just TS and are part of a collection of Axis and Allied toy soldiers, and these have nothing to do with very bad political situations from over 60 years ago .By the way;In occupied territories the SS and Gestapo were far worse than the SA and the LAH.I will proof with a dio that something negative-LAH series- can easily be turned into someting positive. Wait and see I am now doing a dio about Normandy but after that my next dio will be one about Berlin 1939 !!!!!!!( planned to be ready for april)

I used to own one of these HUGE stands.It was made in the 70's for the Berlin Toy show.Hoopert?i think the name was made 10 of these very large ones.They were also made in a smaller size and those are much easier to find since they made many more of them.Thanks Mike Bowen

 

[Sentaapua]

I agree with Mitch, it's more in the likes of a CS piece, don't think K&C would come up with something like that before CS would. But be it whoever does one, I would sure buy it! :wink2:

Gday, Fella's, give Iron Duke a go, as me he is a recent arrival and speaking for myself - they are only T/S.{sm3}:smile2:

is this really an elastolin/hausser piece? i've never seen it before. the brickwork isn't something i've seen from them.

Alright guys, friendly fire{sm4}. I've read all that stuff about people getting antsy over the LAH collection. I don't really like them just cause of the nature of it (Just ignore that last bit keep it peaceful). I do wonder how you guys explain the LAH to people who ''aren't in the know'' about why you collect it. It would be kinda confronting if you had visitors and they notice a large amount of swastikas on your table! I'm sure that if you had your Aunt over who lived through the blitz, she might take a dim view of it. Anyway, I wouldn't mind collecting the SA stuff, all that booze and power could make a good little dio!

 

[Mitch]

It would take no more explaining than why one has an LAH, Das Reich, totenkopf vehicle or, have an airial recognition swastika on show. I had a grandmother and her sisters, my aunts, all who went through the blitz in various civillian and military positions my uncles..Tommy was in the 8th Army and fought and lost his brother in Italy. My Grandfather, David was an RAF pilot from Day one and, John flew Lancs flying over germany. His brother fought and died in Burma.

They instilled in me what the war was about and, what they did. They bought me my very first toy soldiers books etc and, I recieved all their war memorabilia from their own equipment to what they acquired from their service.

My grandfather saw my interest in the germans and why they did what they did and, encouraged me to develop this interest. I think, if you have read this forum as you say, as well as everyone else, know that people are sick of the high and mighty attitude about what they collect. If painted toy soldiers offend, then avoid the LAH threads. I do not have to worry about what people will say about a collection of toy soldiers any more than when they see a library full of military books. It speaks for itself unless you hold other opinions which, really means that you cannot get your head around the fact that some collect something you dislike.

I am, as others are, sick and tired of the unecessary digs and rightous rubbish spilled by those who believe they are morally superior because they don't collect a certain range. I know, all of my family, and many people I know are more enlightened and, open minded to know that everyone has the right to collect what they want, have an interest in what part of history they want without certain people pushing their morality and opinions onto them.

I dislike the tyranny from many other ranges but, I am open minded to admire the ranges for what they offer asthetically than ply posters who like that range with the moral issues of why they should not collect such a range. I wish others would also have the common decency to do the same. there is a massive difference in saying critically why one does not like a range for faults etc rather than trying to import values onto the range for personal reasons.

We thrive on an unpalatable thing war and, depicting that is what is being done. If you have issues with the range take it up with the manufacturers not the people who collect it and, I would respectfully request that those who do are allowed to do so and, discuss the ranges without all the stupid stuff that has to be said before any discussions about the releases.

I must say even though I do not collect this range I can see how it has the appeal in the manner of the traditional toy soldier. Lots of marching figures in parade uniform, flags, horses and saluting etc. They are a very eye catching range there is no doubt about it. Maybe one way of preventing the LAH threads being sidetracked by those who don't like it would be that if anyone felt strongly enough in their dislike of the range they should start their own thread stating that they don't like the range and why. That way the LAH collectors can have their threads in peace and wouldn't have to read such a thread? Just an idea as not only does this argument go round and round but LAH collectors do deserve the same freedoms as anyone else here. Just my tuppence worth you understand and good morning to all you gents:smile2:

[Mitch]

Rob..

Well said and, I would also like to add that the moderators should come down on this as it has to be seen as baiting or, hi-jacking or, whatever other buzz word is used and, others are removed from threads etc for far less so, they should police as vigorously as they do elsewhere when this happens which, is all the time.

Its very unfair that a range that is as popular as it is and, everyone sells should be allowed to be disrupted with what basically comes down to I am better than you because I don't collect such horrid things!!!!

As Rutledge said in a thread the other day ''we all get it'' that some don't like it but, others do so, why dont the ones who do it for annoyance and superiority ''get it'' that many do and, even those who don't still like looking at the sets in display.
