Since we've brought music into this one, the song I'm reminded of is Jackie Wilson's Higher and Higher ^&grin

Maybe the winner will also be singing Jackie's Lonely Teardrops {eek3}

Raymond, I can't remember this much interest in a ACW set in recent times either.

Superb choice of music there Brad {bravo}}:salute:::salute::

Martyn,
When I sold that Boxer collection earlier this year on behalf of a friend, I also sold his Le Heye set that was all original even including outer packaging and 2 Trophy of Texas Add ons - final value for all the sets - about $2900. So, that price seems to be in the wheelhouse. I actually set it up when I had it and it was pretty cool.

Brad,

Sometimes I have to snag something at a premium just so the "deep pocket boys" don't have all the fun. I'm glad the money will be going to good use.

Dave

Congratulations Dave :smile2: Hope pictures will be coming soon ^&grin

There are a number of Sudan Camel Corp sets on the bay at the moment. Still quite a few days to go and already the bids are getting a bit silly.

 

[jazzeum]

In the past few months, it seems that the action for camels is always hot and heavy and that they ultimately go for high sums of money.

Agree, although these are out of sight! I wish I had a whole herd!!!!!

I think these are expensive because Clive cornered the market several years ago ^&grin

did Trophy make any Afghans for Brits to fight or was it only Zulu and Sudan

 

[HAWKEYE]

They made 7 or 8 sets of pathans and such for the northwest frontier, i am sure martyn can conjur up some pictures for us. There are kneeling firing figs, charging with rifles or swords, wounded, chieftens, and even a mounted chief

The NWF series is a great one to collect

Here are some pages from old Trophy catalogues

These figures are for sale on Ebay now

Here is a picture of one of my TD8 – THE LOOKOUT sets (the official set did not include the woman)

This is my modest shelf display

Hope some of this info helps

Have been watching a few auctions recently and I see SUdan Camel Corp figures of whatever regiment are demanding a premium as ar Waterloo Scots Guards and Dutch Lancers. No signs of any let up in the demand for Trophy.
I am glad I got most of my sets when I did.
