[ucla1967]

This set 1093 GARDE REPUBLICAINE is for me.

 

[ucla1967]

This is a special double set of 1138 IMPERIAL GARDE HUSAREN ordered by Gus. I ordered this same double set a couple of years ago, but without the flagbearer.

 

[ucla1967]

This is the standard catalog set of 1138 IMPERIAL GARDE HUSAREN which was ordered by John.

 

[ucla1967]

Tom ordered this set 1067 DEUTSCHEN KRIEGSMARINE U-BOOTE WITH DOENITZ. Have you noticed the unique artwork on most Hiriart labels? It is one of the things that first attracted me to their toy soldiers.

 

[ucla1967]

This Hiriart set 1148 IMPERIAL TOTENKOPF HUSAREN was ordered by Brad and Frank. I have a special double set version of this set in my collection and a nine figure mounted band with a drum horse.

 

[ucla1967]

This is Randy's set 1290 ASCARI SOTTO IL TRICOLORE, 1898, ITALIA. This is the III Battaglione.

 

[ucla1967]

This is one of two sets of 1114 ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY GUN TEAM WITH QUICK FIRING 15 POUNDER (EHRHARDT CANNON). One is for me and the second is for re-sale, but Bob has already indicated he was interested in it.

 

[ucla1967]

This is a special double set ordered by Gus: Set 1288 LANCIERI ITALIANI, 1891.

This is my five-year-old granddaughter, Chloe, looking over the toy soldiers with me on Saturday morning. She wanted Randy's camel, but I had to tell her no. She already has the fox from my Hiriart Tuareg set and the dog "Pip" from my Imperial Rorke's Drift set.

Mike ,

I know the feeling , ever-time I open a new set of toy soldiers my soon to be six year old daughter Berlyn wants to play with them...
Also when my four year old niece comes over she has affinity for my Ted Toy's Confederate Cavalry...
I had some 1/18 21st Century AFV's in their boxes that I ended up giving to my daughter to play with because I felt bad about telling her she couldn't play with any of my TS's...

Joe,

It is hard to turn them down, isn't it. But what is more important, toy soldiers or little girls? As my only grandchild, I am afraid I have spoiled Chloe rotten. Someday, some guy in her life is going to really be mad at me. Too bad!

I'll throw in a bag of TSSD plastic soldiers for Berlyn on your next order. I have them so I can take them to the West Coaster to give to liitle kids.

Bob set up some of the stuff that he picked up at the West Coaster for me to see. I think he must be single handedly keeping the show going. The sets include Bill Connolly conversions, Beau Geste, Britains, Hocker, Hiriart, Bastion, and others.

 

[ucla1967]

More toy soldiers and boxes, many with figures still inside them.

 

[ucla1967]

Still more.

 

[ucla1967]

The parade continues.

Mike ,

That's what grandfather's are for...To spoil their grandchildren...I downloaded a pic of my daughter with her 1/18 Panther...

More.

 

[ucla1967]

Bob also picked up three Metal Shed sets from Bruce Hebron. They were still in their boxes, but he opened up the World War I Austrian Skoda Gun for us to see. The other two Metal Shed sets were first aid tent vignettes.

The trouble with distributing the Hiriart order at Bob's house is that it is easy to go off on a tangent like I have just done with his West Coaster purchases. I hope you didn't mind too much. So, here is even a bigger divergence: Gus, who will be retiring on Monday, March 31st, pulled up in a beautifully restored 1950 MG TD. I offered to trade him my 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid, but he wouldn't do it.
