I picked up a set of German 3rd Kurassiers, photos to follow on receipt.

No, I didn't see that auction, but fortunately, I already have the Trophy WWI German Supply Wagon. If it was the Russian Supply Wagon, I would be really upset!{sm2}

I just picked up another set of Aussies kneeling or standing and firing, this one with an officer loading his revolver!

Here are some photos of the German 3rd Kurassiers and the Maharajah of Bikaner's Parade Staff Car on display on my WWI Western Front set up:

I picked up another set of Aussies from Gallipoli, this one wearing pith helmets instead of slouch hats:

There seems to be a lot of WW1 Trophy figure on auction right now.

There seems to be a lot of WW1 Trophy figure on auction right now.

Yes, I am watching several sets, and may bid on one or two if the price is right at the end.

I had a bid in on one of the sets, Turkish Firing Line, was the only bidder, when the seller cancelled my bid, pulled the auction and a related auction for the Turkish Machine Gun Team, and undoubtedly sold them in a private sale to avoid the eBay fees. I’ve negotiated deals when I was the only bidder or there were no bidders to do a buy it now, but never outright cheated another bidder who had a bid in place on an item.

I saw those Louis and when they disappeared I hoped you had arranged a deal with the seller which made him finish the auction early.

All the best

Having seen that I managed to obtain the Maharaja of Bikaner's Staff Car, good friend Martyn allowed me to obtain this wonderful special production Corps of Guides Escort for the staff car:

Once again thanks to the generosity of Martyn (GICOP), I will soon be adding this 14 piece one of a kind set of WWI Indian Army Troops with a British Officer:

Well I could curse and scream and post a lot of bad words, but last night on ebay I missed the following figure which is the figure I need to complete a WW1 Set - so pissed. If anyone on the board bought this last night, please let me know as I have the set it belongs to, literally from the same original seller, they made a mistake and sold the set separately. I WILL PAY a premium for this figure Here is a picture of the figure:

Sorry Tom! I laid off the officer knowing you needed it. However, I did bid on and purchase these two other WWI Trophy German Sets from the same seller:
