Small Scale Military Headquarters

Some of the early Figarti sets (which featured the Sino-Japanese War 1937-45) were a little off-scale but the recent releases are spectacular. Watch out for the newer releases for OIF too, highly detailed.

I think the Macchi 205 was supposed to have the upgraded version of the Daimler Benz 605 engine, but visually the engine cowlings would be similar. (Think in terms of the Bf-109G in comparison to Bf-109K, the differences are not in the engines but elsewhere in the aircraft). One of the main differen...

King & Country produced a Chi-Ha for their Iwo Jima range and a T34/85 for their Fall of Berlin series. They are both hugely popular. However, at $79 and $99 respectively I can't see anyone fielding whole armoured divisions unless they have a side-business in bank robbery. I think it is surprising t...

Hi, Just to let you know the latest news from Bob Neville of K&C UK regarding London's Toy Soldier events. He has e-mailed some of you already, but this is of interest to Frontline, Figarti, FoV and ERTL/Britains fans too. The Toy Soldier Show, London, 3rd DECEMBER 2005 K&C UK run The Toy Soldier Sh...

I think a single solid white line would've been in use but I'm really not sure. (Before the days of motorways they used to have a single, solid white line to indicate two-way traffic, a single broken white line indicated that overtaking was possible, and a double white line with breaks on one or oth...

I have seen the figures and they are some of the best I have ever seen.. The vehicles are nice, but are solid resin pieces that don't move.. Believe me, you'll want to put them on a pedestal rather than move them anywhere. Excellent vehicles despite non-moving tracks. (The wheels on the trucks and ...

I would like to see more pictures of peoples collections especially the older rarer items that are nearly impossible to find good visual reference of. Eazy. Bill Sager's website http://www.toysoldiersusa.com/ has an excellent collection of brochures as well as photographs and references to most K&C...

Go to Treefrogs Toy Soldier Site, go to New Releases, and look for Forum on the left. They have created a K&C message board. I talked to Shannon the owner yesterday, and she was reluctant to post the info on this board, so I told her I would do it. Please register and post something as she was very...

Sgt Stryker, Terence Newbury Toy Soldiers had quite a few but they're at UK prices (ie nearly double that of US prices). See: http://www.toysoldiers.org/Wild%20wild%20west.htm Similarly Peter Dale offers sets from The West but once again at UK prices: http://www.britains-toy-soldiers.com/ Frederic G...

gk If you're still looking for retired American Revolutionary War figures have a look at Erik Meijer's Diecast International: http://www.diecast-international.com/store.asp?pg=1&s=Toy+Soldiers&h=c1 Unfortunately you need to search with the term "King and Country" as he removed the ampersand a few we...

I presume the Wittman Tiger is due for retirement soon: WS15 (with 205 on the hull) lasted for less than a year. Then WS25 (with 131 on the hull, plus Michel Wittman) lasted barely into 2002 before selling out. I can remember from a brochure ('Blood and Steel') that came out around the time of the l...

Allegedly it's there for $29 if you want it.

A lot has been said about K&C being anti-discount and I hate to add to it but don't forget that on the European side of the pond a standard K&C set can cost around £75 (about $140) or about $60 more than in the USA. Of course VAT and other factors (such as the current exchange rate) play their part ...

Sgt Stryker, Bill Sager's website has photographs of pretty much 70% of all K&C items. See: http://www.toysoldiersusa.com/ However, in some cases you'll need to look at the 'Brochures' by year to see some of the pictures rather than the 'King & Country' pages: he hasn't associated them all with the ...

I have to say King & Country are definitely a favourite. By the way if your Chinese is good enough why not apply for the job? (We'll all wait round the back of the factory storeroom with a very large truck .... ) KING & COUNTRY LIMITED KING & COUNTRY is a rapidly expanding collectible company specia...
