Hello all..
Fun reading, i love the PIC's, certainly brings back memories...
I also had heaps of them, i loved the little green plastic tanks - landing crafts etc, (not the hard airfix kits that needed assembly).
I also had a green fortification with a huge battery with 2 "Guns". I used to stage grand shore landings like D-Day. I always had a weak spot for the German troops and i can remember the allied taking severe beatings! (My favorite German was running forward with his rifle, i also liked the german officer firing his pistol) I also used the german officers as policemen with my matchbox cars.
I also had some 7'th cavalry and lots of indians and cowboys - i used to play with my 8 year younger brother and build houses out of LEGOES make trades with the indians - rob banks etc etc - great times.....
But my alltime FAVORITES was the Divers set, i used to play underwater wars and often took them to the TUB!!!
Now ive got a 5 year old son and think its time to dig out the old plastic troopers!!!!
;o)
Ps Kitty - Great letter, I wish i had known you as a kid!!! *S
I was embarressed that i still liked playing with toy soldiers even when i was 14-15 years old.
