congratulations, you got won of the best sets that trophy has ever made. to me that is right up there with la haye sainte set
 
Well done and welcome to the forum.
Trophy was fantastic.
 
It is hard to know which is the best set Trophy ever made.
 
I have always liked the two sets of three french line drummers as well as the imperial guard drummers in the napoleonic range. I also like the austrian sailors running from the boxer range. You know i just pretty much like them all. There is never a bad day when i get a trophy set in the mail. King and country you buy alot of times because they are being retired and are not as enjoyable as when you get a set of trophy.
 
Dave,

Welcome to the forum. You got a great set. Trophy sets are great. I am trying to resist the urge to buy them. I only have three sets for now.

For now I collect Little Legion, I am resisting, buy always check the Trophy thread. Lets see some of your sets.

Mike,

She didn't appreciate it when my Boxer Rebellion French Marines set up a perimeter around Our Lady of Lourdes. Or when my Crimean Russian artillery bombarded her Christmas Village. Or when my WWI Tommies held her carolers at gun-point. Then again, maybe it's my fault.

Well, Dave, what would she have said about this:

2008Weihnachtsparade2.jpg


That's a repeat for the current forum members, but that is the Alexander-Grenadier-Regiment in my Weihnachtsparade. Next year, Samurai Christmas!

Welcome to the forum, prost!

Hi Guys,
By way of intro you'll normally see me under the Figarti or Kand C headers but I have an avid interest in trophy also.Particularly the Zulu and Sudan wars.

I've garnered quite a few sets over the last couple of years but the numbering system doesn't help and some sets appear to have been launched in partials.
To make it worse there appears to be some companies duplicating the originals presumably from castings or remoulds.
So here's the question, does anyone have any idea of where I could get listings/brochures of what was produced and maybe with pics.
Soft copy (via the web) would be fine. Although I'd prefer hard copy if possible.
I seem to have drawn a blank wherever I've tried.
By the way I know Lyn(MKL) and Ken (Maison Militaire) pretty well but they can't help either.
Any pointers gratefully appreciated.
Regards
Clive

Are you after a catalogue then?
 
Damian,
That's the idea but I'm not sure what Len ever produced. I assume more than 1 brochure etc., over the years. I have an old MKL catalogue which has some Trophy listed alongwith many other manufacturers.
I'm trying to work out where the sets I have fit in to the overall scheme of things and what's missing that would add to the completeness.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Regards
Clive

Dear Clive,

Trophy did produce catalogs ... I have one or two from the early 90's that a friend got for me from the Guards Toy Soldier Centre. They are stored away, but I remember that these catalogs did not list every set ever made by Trophy, just current production -- I collect Trophy's Boxer Rebellion and Rorke's Drift lines and there were gaps in the catalog set numbers and I have come across sets at shows that were not listed. The catalog has pictures, some in color, but not of every set. I will try to dig them out and ask Andy to bring them to the Symposium for you.:)
 
Thanks Steven
That would be a great help.
Hope you enjoy the West coaster.
Also a big thank you to Damian & Mike who have immediately offerred assistance.
I'm in grave danger of actually knowing what I have bought!!
Regards
Clive;)
 
You are very welcome Clive
Some pictures of what you have bought would always be appreciated.
 
Brad, those are excellent guard corps figures. I always figured i would have that setup but i thought i could wait a bit and then the owner past on. I think those are magnificent sets. The pre war wwi period had a lot of pageantry. I filled my frontline parade ground series first and then ran out of time. Thanks for the post as i have never been able to see them displayed altogether.

Unfortunately, I cannot make it this year ... in addition, the person that collectors think I am does not need the Tony Curtis character that others compared me to.:D

P.S. This is an inside joke that many Symposium members will understand.:)
 
For those that are interested, there is Trophy catalogue for sale on Ebay.

Does the Trophy Catalogue, only list figures made for the year of the catalogue or will it list older figures too.

The two Trophy catalogs that I own have many gaps in the set numbers and I believe that retired sets are not listed.:(
