All right here another one for you, some fun this time. :D

What are the ten commandments of Toy Soldier Collecting.

Here are my Top Ten.

1. Thou shall have no other gods
(Other than Toy Soldier Collecting, also no life due to the time spent collecting, no money due to toy soldier brought each month, no room in the house to put things due to the number of toy soldiers collected, no wife as she just did not understand, no kids - have you seen what damage one of those can do to a toy soldier collection).

2. Thous shall have no idols.
(They only take up room in the cupboard were you could put another toy soldier set).

3. Honor God's names.
(Praise be Frontline, King & Country, John Jenkins, so on).

4. Remember the Sabbath day.
(Remember sale days and end of year stock clearances).

5. Honor your father and mother.
(That ones got me, what are the two oldest toy soldier manufacturing companies).

6. Do not murder.
(Unless it is to get the last set of John Jenkins BM-03's available, GOD would understand).

7. Do not commit adultery.
(Unless it will get you that last set of John Jenkins BM-03's available, GOD would understand again).

8. Do not steal.
8a. (Unless it is to get that last set of John Jenkins BM-03's available, GOD is a very understanding guy when it comes to a set of BM-03's).
8b. (Unless it is from one of those eBay buyers that want to pay you ten times what the toy soldier is worth - thank you GOD for those).

9. Do not lie.
(This one covers to many things here are a few of the big ones).
9a. (One shall not touch up damaged figures and then call and try to sell them as MINT).
9b. (One shall not call a set retired when it is not).
9c. (One shall not lie about shipping times, when it takes a seller 2 weeks to post a item and then tries and tell you it is the postal services fault).
9d. (One shall not try and sell a set of toy soldier as a certain band/manufacture when one does not know what one is talking about).

10. Do not covet.
(Ones neighbors toy soldier collection)

Can thoughts who are religious please not take the above as anything else other than what it is fun. :D
 
LOL

My Sunday is complete. So in the religion of Toy Soldiers - who is the Pope ?

Perhaps John Jenkins is Martin Luther ??

Oh - No :eek: Religion and Toy Soldiers !! Run and Hide - Run and Hide ;)
 
#5 Honor thy Mother and Father because its quite probable one or the other got you started on this addiction;):D.
 
Maybe NO10 should be do not covet thy neighbours HB Tiger..well maybe just a little then;)

Mignot and Britains as I believe these are the only 2 still around after 100 years.
