I'd love to see the TSSD Marines and IJA would look alongside these guys.
Started my set of BMC WW2 figures slowly then during WW2 weekend in Reading Pa. found 2 Iwo Jima grey Mt. Suribachi terrain 3 pc sets for $15, now i have a great diorama for my grandson to play with.
those heads on the d-day sets look so freaking goofy man
Your forty sixth thousandth viewer is your newest subscriber-for-life. Thanks for your channel!
I remember seeing one of these sets years ago at the WW2 weekend near me and begging my dad for it, but it was way too much. I've since gotten the set of just the soldiers and flag raisers but maybe one day I'll get my hands on this.

You are very welcome.
I got this set for my birthday few weeks ago
I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!
Hell yeah! Glad to see another review
Love to see these reviews the close looks really helped me make the decision to buy these
What a great set! And thanks for the tips on opening to not damage them.
Those figures are very cool
I enjoyed this review! I bought this set earlier this year!
The hilltop, landing craft, tank are all first rate. However, if you want to put together a great diorama/playset/wargame you will need to do a few things. First, the figures. The Japanese are very large and not very well sculpted. The marines are much better sculpted and perfect 1/32 scale. Better to add in the Marx, Airfix, CTS and MPC Japanese figures. They are thin as they should be and in 1/32 scale. On off 4 makers of the Japanese you will get great poses, including officer with samarai sword, radio man, 2 man MG team, Mortar man, many charging with bayonets poses and the best, an actual charging with a rising sun flag! Total of 41 poses on all 4 makers and you can get them relatively easy, the Marx and CTS are currently made. The Airfix and MPC are a bit tougher to get but Ebay has many. Finally, you may want to open your wallet and get the Plastic Platoon artillery with 3 man crew. That's the only thing that was missing from my want list. It's very expensive but worth it, you'll have a perfect Japanese force. As for the US army/marines? Plenty. TSSD, CTS, Marx, Austin miniatures. You'll get officers, heavy MG team, mortar guy, radio men, bazooka men, flamethrower men and a 3 man heavy artillery team. Total of 52 poses and you can get more from Marx too. Also, add in the Marx palm trees and ferns and their Battleground accessories (ammo and medical cases, oil barrels, sandbag emplacements, land mines, etc.). You'll have the perfect set.
We all love you and your videos so keep it up
Thank you for the reviews, I'm about to get it soon in the mail for a Christmas present.
Great set. Good review.
I remember wanting this set so bad when I was younger. never got it. I’m 21 now and still want it.

Need a deluxe version- a bag of MARX recast Japanese in tan, A CTS Chi Ha tank and a bag of MARX Marines in OD.
so cool keep it up!
The Sherman looks like an M4A2 or A3 Sherman. It has a welded hull unlike the M4A1 which had a cast hull, dry ammo stowage because it has the armour plates on the side, a 1 peice transmission or lower plate, big hatch and VVSS suspension, the model is a little hard to identify as the M4A2 has a small hatch, most likely a mid war variant as Ford produced small hatch Shermans until they left the Sherman program in 1943 but still supplying engines to Crysler and Fischer Body Factory, judging by the front gear, it's probably a Fischer Body Sherman. Correct me if I am wrong and my source is from Eta320's video about the Sherman variants and Google searches.
Hello from Italy. Th.e Set looks Good and the Japanese Soldiers are amazin g.

Can you do a review of awesome little green men toys from KZread and review them please
Do a review on a boley combat zone military play set. Bet u can’t hehehe
the thing is where is the japanese soldiers bayonets?
Maybe I missed it but the BMC figures for this set were taken from King and Country sets. The D day sets are who knows ? Simply standard plastic army men. The BMC marines are pretty large. The best IMHO are still the Marx figures, while BMCs Marines are equal their Marines have the better pose selection for combat /Marx Marines are also very good and BMC has recast and sold them under their logo .
They should also make Italian plastic army men for the battle of Sicily aka Operation Husky playset.

i assume its because you can order the pieces alone and not the whole set, of just because of bad shipping.
Hi. Im wondering where did u get ur sand or whatever it is called that u use for ur playsets cause im trying to get it for my 12 year old son. I wish and hope that they make a tiger 1 tank and a 76mm M1A1 sherman tank. And type 97 kinda tank and i really hope so that they make more playsets.
