G'Day all,
These are what they are after.

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...

Howard
Just found an example on ebay postage US$68.30!!
