Nice choice! I only bought one of the advancing figures. I had my eye on this one for months and got it this winter. I love the sculpting of the equipment on this peace. Can't wait for the Iron Brigade. My first 2 will be the flag bearer and Burns.

I really like your tradition of driving to Gettysburg just about every weekend and picking up a new figure :salute::. It reminds me of the almost every weekend trips to the local Hobby Shop as a child with my brother and Father... those were the days. I'm about almost 1 1/2 hours away from Gettysburg now and with other obligations I don't get there as much as I'd like, but in younger days me and my brother would walk the Battlefield about twice a month. I have been able to resist the ACW line so far but your sure not making it easy, they are by far the best looking ACW figures I have ever seen and believe me I have been looking for over 40 years. I will be picking up the General Lee figure because I'd have to think I'd go too TS Hell for missing that one

Hard to go wrong with them. All great figures. It is amazing these figures are a few years old and they are still top notch.

It is nice to see the figures up close. The internet pictures don't do them justice. The bad thing about seeming them at the shop is so many options

I agree. I wish I lived near a toy soldier shop and Gettysburg. My family is glad I am close to neither. Even from NC I have been a lot, and it was there that I bought my first toy soldiers there. Such a wealth of shops!!
