Warhansa Figure Update Postal Stress, we start with two new Warhansa figure items. These items are not yet in the catalog. Next, we talk about some postal stress. Greg Liska has some wants.
Warhansa Figure Update Postal New Figures
Our very good friend Erwin Sell discovered two new items from Warhansa. Checking the Warhansa page they are not listed. The first is a 54mm traveling wizard. The figure is very nice with a staff in his left hand and crystal ball in his right hand.
The other new Warhansa is a set of five 60mm special forces figures. The poses are kneeling firing sniper scope rifle, advancing with an automatic weapon at the waist, standing with the pistol being supported by his two hands, with pistol and shield and standing with an automatic weapon. You can see the two sets at the links given. we thank skingsoldier for use of these photos
Postal Stress
In recent comments, we have seen people talking about mailing items. As one who has done a lot of shipping over the years, I have had very little problems. I did get one little problem recently. I received an email from a party that his package had been listed undelivered. He wanted to know if I had the right address. Responding, I sent him a copy of the address as I copy them exact from the PayPal invoice. (I don’t use the Paypal for postage due to the size of my boxes.) I was prepared for a return when the next day I received an email it had been delivered!
What caused the delay is anyone’s guess. It could have been a substitute or not scanned right. Just one of those things to stress you out.
Greg Liska Wants
Greg is looking for some items. here is Greg to explain
I have what I hope is a simple ‘Wanted’ request to fill. I need BMC ACW standing firing figures. Color immaterial. A decent bonus find would be from the BMC Andersonville set: Standing prisoner w/ Kepi and the Confederate officer figures. Please contact me if you have any of this. Thanks for Taking the Time to Read This,
Greg — How soon do you need the figures? I believe I may have some of what you are looking for, the problem is where? Just by chance, I’m considering an expedition into the toy soldier hideaways this weekend. No promise that I will be doing it, but I might. Let me know your time frame.

Really nice Wizard figure, I may buy one of him as long as price is reasonable.
hey Paul, i do a lot of ebay business and have had that same postal issue happen numerous times. about 1/3rd of the time, it’s been delivered to one of my neighbors, and they’ve been kind enough to give it to me in a day or two. the other 2/3rds or so, it seems be some sort of early delivery confirmation glitch, and it shows up the next day. i panicked the first time or two, but now i just let the shipper know about it and tell them i will let them know when it shows up.
I have had a few people who thought they did not get their package until I sent them a copy of the tracking. I have been lucky personally getting my packages.
Got my first (and last) broken eBay item of the Holiday Season today. Time to shut down buying and selling until January. Good work USPS! Don’t know how you get away with it, other than “the computers did it”.
AJ, you are spot on. 90% of of my ebay problem shipments happen between november and january.
I don’t think the employees selected are the best qualified, and they crack under the more demanding Holiday work load. It’s bad enough where I live in Connecticut that I’m REALLY shutting it down until mid-January. You should see some of the beauties in my local USPS. You would scratch your head.
