Hi, when I was a kid my parents would get me some toy soldier playsets. I think they were MPC or Timmee and maybe Marx. My grandmother would get me and my brother some Timmee soldiers every year for Christmas. By the time I was finishing High School most of my toys died in the great wars that me and my brother had During a Christmas fair at my High School my mother got me a Prince August mold set of Toy Soldiers. This got me interested again. This got me started. I started buying some Imex, Accurate, A-Call-To-Arms, Marx recasts. I was getting them from a Toy Soldier dealer from NYC. They were really expensive. About 4 years later while I was in Ireland I picked up about 15 sets of Airfix Toy Soldiers. The same sets I got for about $5 to $6 were selling from the guy in NYC for about $30-$40 I never got any soldiers from him again. Then the internet came and one day I could not believe my eyes. It was Barzso's Roger Rangers Playset. This is was about 1998-2000? I got it from Kent Sprecher. He is a great guy. I asked him a question about getting some other Barzso figures. He told me that I could order from Barzso himself and gave me the information. He was not greedy, like some other dealers(NYC). Then ebay came and the rest is history. Ok, thanks for reading.
