Hi guy's had to sit out for a couple of day's in the cooler. So I can't make the questions but has any one else got some good triva toy soldier questions:eek:. I like the idea of a fun quiz without any TROLLING.Simmo.
 
Simmo, you and your donkey are spending so much time on the naughty step you are wearing holes in the carpet!! Trooper

The carpet is very thick my friend. I have not said anything bad here at all .I really would like a fun quiz without any trouble. Please help me and add some questions and I will try to answer them.Simmo.
 
OK, here is one

What is the rarest K&C production toy soldier (not vehicle etc) set?
 
Why WS04. Is there a story behind it's rarity?

Yes Terry. If you had read the book, you would know it . . . but here it is anyway:

The five original Waffen SS sets, as described above were repainted in matt, and renumbered WS01-WS04, and WS06. The only change to the positioning of the figures was to the tank crew, WS04. This set, the rarest of the matt SS sets, is only depicted in the June-July, 1997 flyer, standing alongside the resin and metal Jagdpanther, and is omitted from all the price lists except the February, 1996 list, which indicates the set is being re-designed, but omits the price, and the March, 1998 Dealer’s Price List. The subsequent collectors’ price lists skip from WS03 to WS05. The Tank commander in the fully black uniform now holds binoculars in his right hand at waist level, with a book held extended down in his left hand. The crewman in the completely camouflaged jumpsuit now has both hands on his hips, arms akimbo. One crewman in a gray tunic and camo pants now holds a MP40 Schmeisser sub-machinegun extended down in his left hand, with his right hand on his hip, arm akimbo. The other crewman in a gray tunic and camo pants now holds a pistol extended down in his right hand, and a cigarette in his left hand. In the March, 1998 Dealer’s Price List this set retailed for $77. Only about 30 of these sets were ever sold.
