Toy Soldiers
 

G'Day everyone, we are Sid & Errol, Howard is our dad.
We need some help from MLU members in north America.
We realy want some toy soldiers. Little plastic ones.
There are some on ebay but postage from the US is over $50 :giveup for $20 of soldiers.
Can anyone help?
Thank You
Sid & Errol

Guys what brand/type of toy soldiers are you wanting? Reason I ask is because if they are the 1/72 Airfix type they are still available to purchase here in Australia. Also some specialist Model and Toy Shops may stock them here if it is another type you are after. :)

Thanks cliff.We would like green army men.

Are you refering to those ( about) 1/32 scale all green plastic soldiers that used to come in bags..little detail..but had a few differant poses including one with a Bazzoka?

sorry guys you will have to ask Dad to take a photo and post it for me to understand what you want as there are an aweful lot of Toy Soldiers available if you know where to look. :thup2:

G'Day all,

Dean I think you are on the money...
About 2" (50mm) high, single colour, cheap, not real accurate.
We used to buy them in bags of a couple of hundred, but searches of toy stores & Aus on line stores have proved fruitless.
I found a US on line store that had a bag of (I think) 200 US & 200 Germans, the Germans being a different colour, for about US$20 but postage was over US$50!!
Cliffy if you know of an Aus supplier that would be fantastic.
Thank you fellas... :cheers:

Just found an example on ebay postage US$68.30!! ebay link here or these ones

OK have seen some recently in my travels around Gympie. Will look again in the next week or so and get back to you. :thup2:

I think I have seen them around in bags of about 20 here in Ontario, however to be fair, shipping to "Down Under" is expensive..I know as I have shipped a few items there and the postage is a killer.
If you have no luck elsewhere, let me know..I could get you some and pack them as tight as possible..you would only pay the true postage cost.

By the way, it is because of those toys that I always wanted a Bazzoka..and I bought a 3.5 inch last Oct!!!!
