I stand corrected!:redface2:

Nice pickup

I received the items today...the original K&C receipt from K&C Hong Kong 1994 states the previous owner paid $255 for (1) HK Police Mounted (1) China Policeman $110 and the (RHKR) Royal Hong Regiment $595...guess my cost "being less" wasn't so bad considering it's 7 years later?

Those are prices in Hong Kong dollars, in US Dollars the sets would have retailed for about $25 for the mounted Policeman, $14 for the China Policeman, and $70 for the Royal Hong Kong Volunteer Regiment color party. By the way, Andy was the adjutant of that regiment.

Thanks for that info Louis, I thought that was a lot of money for back then.

If you would just buy the books, you would have all the original retail prices and release dates at your finger tips.:wink2:

You can never have enough Mounties :smile2:

 

[thebritfarmer]

Very nice Lawrence, seems that the Mounties are popular but very few companies make them.

Too right Lawrence, you can never have enough............and not a camel in sight:tongue:

Re: Latest Glossy (Palio)

Latest Glossy...I now have a new favorite set!

If these don't get that Australian dude to join us in the slippery slope club, I don't think anything will...come on now Howard, are you feelin it yet?

 

[jazzeum]

Yes, but do you have the tents?

 

[MarkeytMaker]

Yes, but do you have the tents?

The tents for these are a little funky for my taste...you know I passed on the Les Miserables set because of it's funk. For me this Palio set way exceeds the Les Miserables.

How so? Les Mis is far rarer.

Paint detail & beauty through my own eyes...nothing to do with rarity:smile2:

 

[jazzeum]

Yes, I like the Palio. Would like to have the tents though :wink2:

Yes, I like the Palio. Would like to have the tents though :wink2:

I would be curious to know how the Palio sets were distributed. Was it a common set...how many were made?
