    Just an observation…….I notice on the majority of European Toy Soldier Show photos, items are only displayed in flat boxes. But at US Shows, most dealers utilize some type of shelving to help get buyer’s attention and to display more items than just laying them flat. Having never been to a show outside the US, I just wonder why that would be. Now I will let my old brain rest until it comes up with another important question! 🙂

    There had been a minority of dealers displaying on shelves and one used kind of wooden cabinet. Simply didn’t take pics of those tables. Fell into kind of plastic trance at the show to name it positive. Or into kind of Zombie to name it for real. “Dawn of the dead plastic”.

    Polyethylene Psychosis – a disorder of the mind which affects toy soldier collectors.
