Flea Market Time
The flea market season has started and it seems that we are having a continuation of last year. The quality is down for our figures. I did one flea market and other than a reissue Marx Service Station playset the only figures available were Rel. I am hoping some toy-related shows that I have in the next two months will come with interesting items.
Russian Figure News
Mike Prendergast has the latest and upcoming news on Prikaz Toy Soldiers. They have two upcoming sets; Princely court hunters and Vikings. You can check it out here.
Thank you for mentioning my blog post Paul. Those Warhansa figures look really nice painted. I found a Auburn playset at Leesport for $50. I have some pictures of that with the same post about the Prikaz sets. It was in really nice shape. Prikaz keeps getting better with their figures.
Did you get it on a Wednesday or one of their Sunday shows at Leesport?
I found it on Wednesday. It was in the field, a guy selling all kinds of things. This was the only toy he had with him. He was firm with the price. This is a keeper for me. I was very happy to find it. I never saw it before. Most of the time I find dirty or broken figures. Most of these figures were clean, a few had some broken rifles.
If you are talking about the grass field area (grass area to the right when you are going down the hill). That area rarely shows up with anything. My last visit to Leesport, I only got two MPC ore cars and Men of 76. Another dealer who was hunting had only found one good item in three hours of roaming. He does character items besides other items. Mike Russo and Tom Stine roam the market at times.
