    I still have one excellent condition deetail german ww2 soldier throwing a stick grenade with the decal on the helmet still. Also the daimler british armored scout car. I had the german motorcycle with sidecar and British quad gun tractor 4x4 truck with gun and limber, but those and all my marx plastic soldiers went to my son....when he went into the military, his mom,my now ex, cleaned his room and everything went into the dumpster

    You had some of the good ones. The nice thing about Deetail figures is that they last and are still available at reasonable prices. Check out that online auction site, you can get them all back!

    A gentle washing with worm, soapy water would soon bring those legionaries looking as good as new. I used an old toothebush and hand soap, followed by a light spray of WD-40, to clean and polish mine.

    On the _Land of the Giants_ lunchbox, the large “giant” face seen is actually that of Elmer Lenhardt, the artist who illustrated many of the Aladdin boxes.

    It’s amazing that I find that I do have a lot of the dolls that she has. However, I have taken mine out of the box so I can thoroughly enjoy them some I have even put on made to move bodies. I feel like sometimes people forget that the dolls are meant to be played with and enjoyed. Never mind you the very expensive ones like the Byron Lars dolls I have left in the boxes in there for display only.

    I mostly had Napoleonic era figures. I only had a couple of dozen but half were cavalry - and all different. I rarely see the Napoleonic Cavalry figures anywhere (I think I still have them in a shoe box in my crawl space).

    The Napoleonic are the most popular and sought after of the line. The standing always sell and the mounted are even rarer. I hope you still have them. Thanks for watching.

    Great video, i have that same 1967 Rat Patrol lunchbox. I don't think in these PC days they would make scenes of people getting blown up on kids lunchboxes. Too bad they didn't make a Combat lunchbox with Sgt. Saunders and Lt. Hanley, another popular 60s TV show.

    The one thing I struggle to understand is Lego train pricing in 2024. If it really goes beyond $200 usd in the next 4 years when a new cargo train comes out, I may be better off switching to Lionel. All the youtube reviewers and adults constantly remind the community Lego is still designed and advertising as a toy. But it's entering adult professional hobby pricing.

    My mom always waited till the last minute to take us to buy lunch boxes. So, all the cool ones were usually gone. But I remember being really pleased when I was able to get that Gunsmoke lunchbox, some time in the early 1970s. The next year, or so, I had to settle for the Hee-Haw lunchbox. I got teased for that one a bit. But I proudly defended it. Even though I had wanted something cooler. In the third or fourth grade, it became cool to brown-bag it. So, lunchboxes were no longer part of my life. Though I must admit, I'd occasionally see them in the store, and wished I could still use them.

    I saw a silkstone Barbie online forsale from a sick lady selling her dolls to pay her medical expenses. I bought it as its pretty and a kindness. When it arrived to New Zealand the knee joint broke fell off. I told the lady and she said she'd refund me. I said no. Use the money. Ill customise her into Wondergirl. So I glued the leg at he knee and made this version... Silkstone are very heavy barbies. I know little about exactly what Silkstone is?

    I always wanted to visit the Ackermansion. I lived in New York and that was a long way from California. I got in trouble for a paperback I ordered from the back of the magazine. My folks made me give away my collection. In a funny turn of events. years later after I moved to California. Folks worked as movie extras. My Dad auditioned for a mad scientist role for Forrie, he did not get the part but I got a signed Anniversary Edition,.

    Thank you! They have said they are looking at making new sets, WWII Russians would be high on most collectors lists, but I wonder if recent conflicts make that less likely. I saw their Production Manager recently and suggested that it would be easy to release the current German Infantry in winter white. Another great addition would be Zulus and British Infantry from that conflict. Thanks for watching.
