Bits and pieces

I saw this recently on E.bay at quite a good price.The Marx castles don't appear very often so I was a bit surprised at the low asking price.
Who remembers the Green Berets.Actual soldiers at the front walked out of American cinemas such was the anger at this portrayal of the Vietnam war. Here is a chinese firm producing them.


I wonder if anyone can tell me what these are? they look good.

An Italian guy is now reproducing the old atlantic boxes.i recently bought the Italian Para box as I had the loose soldiers for it



Airfix is back in production.These are about 4 pounds

Replicants have brought out some nice pieces as regards famous people of Lewes





The last are all Hillco but although they are pretty boring you could do some good conversions here

STARLUX ACW

The Starlux company of France made a lot of ACw figures that to be honest never really worked.Static positions, boring and little detail. But they have become very collectable as they still have low prices and will rise in the future.re-painting them is an option if you don't want to re-sell them.
