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.

Soldiers
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!! ebay link here or these ones

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!!!! Dean
