Greetings!

With the coming of Fall, we traditionally introduce the year’s new playsets, and this year is no exception. First up is a World War II project which has been gestating for many moons: Operation Market Garden “A Bridge Too Far.” We have been unable to create this set before because of a shortage of proper bridges, low stocks on boats for the river crossing and a lack of British Paratroops. But we found a great girder bridge, laid in good stocks of boats and recently uncovered a full carton of the long-discontinued Airfix British Paratroops. This one was a challenge to create, a lot of fun to set up, and the photos came out well. You can see one of three videos that were recorded of the photo shoots in progress, with narration describing what's in the playset. More videos of our playsets will be posted soon.
 
Also new this month are two new sets of LOD-produced Barzso figure sets, and the long-awaited British Riflemen and Medieval Peasant Army from Expeditionary Force.

Keep checking our What's New page to see the latest additions!

Thank you, as always, for your interest,
Jamie and Jenny Delson
Plastic Toy Soldiers - New!
Playsets by TSC - brand-new for holiday 2020 season
Few of history's military offensives have been as daring as WWII's "Operation Market Garden." This plan, put into action in September, 1944, was a combined Allied air and ground operation designed to force a path through Germany's weakened defenses in The Netherlands, moving a massive Allied force across the Rhine and into Germany, ending the war by Christmas.
WWII A Bridge Too Far Set Playset #1 - The British Attack
(145 pieces - with free domestic shipping)
This first playset recreates the initial attack by British 30th Corps to pierce the German defenses, while American Paratroops land behind the lines to seize the first bridge. Having failed in that task the Yanks have now installed a portable "Bailey Bridge" to allow the British to continue their rush towards Arnhem. read more

Expeditionary Force of Singapore - new!
Many toy soldier collectors are also fans of Bernard Cornwell's 'Sharpe' novels, which depict the daring adventures of a British rifle officer in the Napoleonic wars.
