This fall will mark 200 years since the successful US defense of Baltimore and Ft. McHenry. I realize that the War of 1812 is not a "biggie" to toy soldier collectors, but will anybody be producing any sets to mark the occasion?
 
Evening Binder .... personally I think that the JJD War of 1812 sets are some of the BEST toy soldiers anywhere! :eek:
I just got all three of the latest 1812 Marine sets as well as adding to my USCH and BCH sets.

I really hope (and believe) that we will see John make some additions to this range, but maybe not just on Chippewa specifically. I live in Maine and have relatives all throughout New England and Canada, so my interest is HIGH. Lets keep fingers, arms, legs and eyes crossed :rolleyes: that John will come through this year 1814 => 2014!!! -- Larry

Mr.Jenkins revealed his "Chippawa" series sold poorest of all his lines.I am presently working on a 100' long Battle of Lundy's Lane(thousands of troops-many,many one of a kind pieces-every unit on the field 11:00(2300)25 July 1814).Last British assault up the hill and Scott's last 'banzai'-hand to hand combat,ground littered with WIA/KIA troops& horses.Both sides gave as good as they got-militia as well.
 
Hey Binder,
100 FEET long, did I read that right???? ...... wow I can't wait to see some pictures of your progress and ideas. {sm3} {sm3}. 1000's of troops? You don't mean 1000's of JJD soldiers do you?

I find it strange that the Chippawa Series was not a good seller as. :redface2:

Maybe the USCH series was to a point, but many of the BCH seems a bit difficult to find and the prices in the secondary market are climbing higher. However, I am not to concerned with just the one battle as in all the battles in the war. HIs Marines was a welcomed addition so I am hoping that other regiments, divisions, militia will come some day.

My entire JJD 1812 is rather modest at about 140 +/- USCH figures and about 150 +/- figures for the BCH. And I am trying to figure out where to put those.
