Thank you so much Carlos for taking the time to take and post pictures.

Frankly, it's great to see pictures, any pictures really, from a toy soldier show.

Some of the items up for sale are............................well.........................they're "interesting", I will say that.

In less than two months, I'll be at the Gettysburg show on May 1st, followed by MFCA May 13th/14th.

Gonna take me some time to get back into my groove, so be patient fellas..............the comedy will be flowing as usual from me, I never run out of cracks and one liners, so there's that.

Thank you Carlos for posting the pictures. Nice to see some interesting items on the market there. For its time that 21st Century stuff was great not only for the price but the looks.

For its time that 21st Century stuff was great not only for the price but the looks.

21st Century exploded onto the toy soldier scene thanks to the numerous toy soldier dealers who carried it and presented it to the collectors in their shops and at the toy soldier shows.

21st Century then decided to open it up to mass merchandisers like Toys R Us/WalMart/Target, etc, etc....................who then flooded the market with the goods priced at retail BELOW dealer cost, 21st Century gave the mass merchandisers better prices than the dealers.........you know, the guys who helped establish the brand.

Then some woman took offense to a tank with a German cross on it in Toys R Us and all German vehicles were then removed from the mass merchandisers shelves.

And the company soon went out of business.


Solid move right there opening it up to the mass merchandisers....................................
