I had a great time yesterday at the History Store meeting Richard for the first time and other New England collectors. I enjoyed chatting with fellow forum member Travis (pdf119) (a firefighter from Maine) and his wife who is collecting Britain's Civil War range and will soon be making a trip to Gettysburg. Like the Lt. said, I was encouraging new members to check out the Treefrog Forum. I had a nice conversation with another WB Civil War collector from Maine, Rich and his wife Polly, and hope he and others I spoke with (all unaware of the forum) will soon be joining us. And, of course, it is always a pleasure to see Papa Zulu are resident expert on the AZW and official show documentary photographer.
It was great seeing the samples of forthcoming releases that Richard brought along from the Zulu, Sudan, Civil War and Napoleonic series. The Sudan figures live up to all my expectations and then some. I was also very much impressed with the Civil War personality figures and artillery sets and ACW collectors are in for a great year.
This was an historic day for New England collectors since it marked the first time that Richard Walker has visited Hobby Bunker and The History Store. All of us here in the Northeast thank him for this much anticipated visit.
