This is just a very tiny bit of the plastic and metal figures you will have to choose from next Sunday November 1 at the East Coast Toy Soldier Show. There will be figures in everyone’s price range. This show always has surprises. If you are into reenacting there will be various people in uniform. George from Minuteman will have his awesome displays of buildings and lead figures. Rick Eber will be there with his rare and highly desired Marx items. This is some of the sights you will see.
Laurie and I will be there. We be roaming around the show and when we are not roaming we will be with our very good friends Gerry Watts and Chris Lamont. Gerry will have a large array of metal and plastic for sale. I will be doing photos for the web site and will have a video camera along as well. We are hoping to get our picture with Billy Leroy of Baggage Battles. This is sort a tradition with us as we did one with Billy before I went into the hospital almost two years ago and one last year. We will see what Billy is up to and pass it along.
So hope to see you there.
That’s the kind of photo — with all that original, highly desired, hard to find Marx laid out so colorfully and attractively — that drives me wild with covetousness. I note the tops of the Rifleman/Cattle Drive cabins, with the hard plastic chimneys on the side, in the forefront of the photo.
This is an example of what makes Bill Lango’s East Coast Show, and OTSN, such can’t-miss events. And why if you can’t get to one, you’ve got to get to the other.
