September 18th News!
September 18, 2025
Summer is coming to an end, and I am in full "toy soldier" mode. We leave for the Chicagoland Toy Soldier Show on Monday. This is the third year I will be running the show, so I finally have the hang of it. Also, on the 28th is Patcon, a great modeling show that will be held at the American Heritage Museum(hudson, MA) ,hopefully, I can make it next year. When I return from Chicago, I will need to straighten out my inventory and prepare it for the Toy Soldier Show in Burlington on October 5th. I am also working on booking the West Coast show for March 8th, but the hotel will not allow room trading. Once this is finalized, I can focus on other aspects of the business, such as games and hobbies! Hopefully, I’ll have some time for gaming once I’m out of "toy soldier mode." It’s great to cater to many customers, but sometimes it’s challenging to balance focusing on games, models, and toy soldiers all at once. Last night, several players participated in Frostgrave, Necromunda, and Kill Team. Tonight, we’re hosting our Magic Commander night along with open tabletop gaming.

Greetings from deep inside the Bunker on this humid day! Just when I think summer is cooling off, the 90-degree temperatures magically reappear! We hope you are all enjoying your summer. We have been staying busy with new products, sorting collections, and managing the constant barrage of emails and phone calls. We recently rearranged some gaming tables in our gaming space to accommodate more players and are considering staying open late for gaming on Wednesday nights as well. Please let us know if you would be interested in gaming here on Wednesday evenings! We will have a soft launch starting this Wednesday. We will try it out for four weeks and then decide whether to make it permanent. I have added numerous items to our Collections and Retired sections (see links below). Tomorrow, I plan to add a variety of King and Country vehicles, Market Garden pieces, and some W. Britains Zulu buildings. We are currently holding a massive sale on Marx Toys reissues (plastic). Check out the links below for updated collections of toy soldiers. Our Annual Games Day is scheduled for August 23rd, featuring two gaming sessions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. So far, we have "Baron's War, World of Tanks, a France 1940 game (20mm), Ancients, Beer and Pretzel Napoleonics, and Star Wars Legion scheduled. If you want to play or run a game, please send us an email. For more information about our products, keep scrolling! We are also looking for a couple more games and Game Masters. Above are the long-awaited 1/32 scale British Paratroopers. Last summer, we only received 11 sets, and something happened to the mold. This week, we just got a few dozen more! Speaking of plastics, we also received the Conte Viking Warriors and shipments from Hat Industrie, Strelets, Orion, and MARS. It's time to stock up and build your armies!

Greetings from deep inside the Bunker! We hope you are all enjoying your summer. We have been staying busy with new products, sorting collections, and managing the constant barrage of emails and phone calls. Our Magic: The Gathering pre-release event for The Edge of Eternities was a big hit last week, and we sold out of most of our cards. Hopefully, there will be more soon. Obtaining Pokémon cards has also been a challenge. We rearranged some gaming tables in our gaming space to accommodate more players and are considering staying open late for gaming on Wednesday nights as well. Please let us know if you would be interested in gaming here on Wednesday evenings! This weekend is the Massachusetts Tax Holiday. No sales tax will be added Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th! I have sorted and inventoried the two pallets containing K&C and other items that arrived. They did not arrive intact; many goods are missing or damaged. What a disaster—there was significant damage, and numerous items were missing. The collection we picked up in New Jersey last Saturday has been cataloged, including King and Country, John Jenkins, and more. You can find these items in our Collections and Retired sections (see links below). We are currently holding a massive sale on Marx Toys reissues (plastic). Check out the links below for updated collections of toy soldiers. Our Annual Games Day is scheduled for August 23rd, featuring two gaming sessions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. So far, we have "Baron's War, World of Tanks, a France 1940 game (20mm), Ancients, Beer and Pretzel Napoleonics, and Star Wars Legion scheduled.

July 24th Updates What's new and exciting? Today, a heat wave has hit us. It is sweltering, and we already have about 20 gamers rolling dice. Today, we received approximately 20 cartons from our hobby distributors, including Gundam kits, Gundam bases, car models, AK 3Gen paint, new Atbeiling oil paints, Woodland Scenics, Tamiya products, Mr. Hobby primers, glue, and various hobby tools. My son and I have been busy sorting through the collection we picked up two weeks ago. We have many items listed on our website, including rare collectibles and First Legion figures available on eBay. Additionally, I will be bringing some unique pieces to the toy soldier show in Wayne, NJ, this weekend. On the way down on Saturday, I will be picking up yet another collection! This one will include a dozen JJD WWI airplanes, Dragon 1/6 scale figures, Osprey books, and King & Country WWII items. Oh, and we have two pallets of K&C coming from California—yes, I said two pallets! We are currently having a massive sale on Marx Toys reissues (plastic). Check out the links below for updated collections of toy soldiers. Our Annual Games Day is scheduled for August 23rd, featuring two gaming sessions at 10 AM and 2 PM. So far, we have "Baron's War, Blood & Plunder, and Star Wars Legion scheduled. Want to play or run a game, please send us an email. Additionally, we have a Bolt Action 28mm World War II Games Day planned for August 2nd. I am looking forward to enjoying some gaming at both of these events. For more information on our products, keep scrolling! Above is the "Flight Deck" in 1/30 scale, created by a local collector. He utilized figures from King and Country and John Jenkins, and had a custom base made for the display.

What's new and exciting? In addition to the 100-degree heat, we received several shipment of new products this week. Yesterday, approximately 20 cartons arrived, including the new Expert Acrylics by Monument Hobbies, and a restock of paint from AK Interactive. We also have a variety of board games and RPGs, around 70 Gundam kits, and Thomas Gunn Toy Soldiers. We are currently running a massive sale on Marx Toys reissues (plastic). Additionally, we have placed many of our First Legion Ltd toy soldiers on sale. We are relieved that the heat wave has ended. Over the past few weeks, we have hosted 30 to 40 gamers in our gaming loft, on Thursday nights and we are pleased that they won't be sweating tonight. The new Star Wars CCG, "Legends of the Force," is on its way and will be available for purchase on July 3rd.
