Greetings!

Welcome to our first e-Newsletter of 2021. First of all, thank you for making 2020 our best year since we went into business in 1984. Many old customers from the '80s and '90s rejoined our ranks, and many, many new customers found us during this awful, seemingly endless pandemic.
 
We’ve tried to keep the collecting flame lit throughout the year, and have added many new sets to our inventory. SO many, in fact that we can’t list them all here. To see more new items, check out our What's New page, or give owner Jamie Delson a call any weekday from 11-5 E.S.T. He’ll be glad to spend some time with you.
 
As for what’s new NOW, just look below to see lots of Vintage Britains Deetail plastic items, a slew of newly reissued Barzso figure sets and, most exciting of all, a new WWII German Artillery Bunker Bundle which is finally available after months of play-testing and development.
 
There’s lots more in the pipeline for 2021, so stay tuned to this station!

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
Toy Soldier Company Bundles
This set first occurred to Jamie last summer, and it has been in development ever since. According to Jamie: 'The amazing thing about it is that I pictured it in my mind, but wasn’t sure all the parts would fit together so perfectly. If it weren’t for the fact that most elements were produced by different companies, you’d think this item had been designed this way.'
German Artillery Bunker Bundle
(39-piece German Defense Position with unpainted 54mm soft and hard plastic figures and accessories)
We have assembled this bundle with pieces from six different manufacturers.
Barzso reissues - 54mm
If there is any one series that Ron Barzso is best known for, it is his Rogers Rangers. These first appeared in playsets, then in mini-add-on sets, then in separate bagged sets. It's hard to imagine a serious hobbyist who doesn’t have some of these guys in their collection. The Major Rogers figure has never been available separately – he was only seen in a playset before this. As for the Pirates and Corps of Discovery, they were so popular the first time LOD reissued them that we sold out our supply in a couple of weeks. Order now to avoid disappointment.
Rogers' Rangers #1 - reissue

Plastic Toy Soldiers - Vintage
Britains Deetail World War II
Jamie's passion for toy soldiers began in 1952 with his first set of guys – Britains guys. He is now beginning to sell his massive Britains collection, as most of his playtime is spent with the hand-animated and hand-painted figures with which he plays wargames. So here’s your opportunity to buy some REALLY rare items which won’t be found in many (or any) other stores, websites or soldier shows.
