Er I’m in my own category of young.
Time doesn’t exist in my reality.
I love 54mm Britain’s. I have quite a lot inherited from my grandfather that I never knew about until he died. All hodgepodge and battered. Would love to get them on the table but as EB alluded, they are hard to fill in the gaps and I can’t be bothered with that because I’m so young.
It’s the look isn’t it. From a small child that’s the vision you have of a toy soldier. There isn’t really anything sexier in toy soldiers than a horse drawn carriage or linger and cannon in 54mm shiny.

Re: 42mm and 54mm figures
Where proper Toy Soldiers score for me is that they are honest, they have no pretensions, none of this wargamery twaddle about military history and refighting famous battles, it's all about the very simple pleasure of just playing with some toy soldiers and leaving the harsh realities of the world outside for a few hours. And that is what I now tell people who ask me about my hobbies, I collect, paint and play with Toy Soldiers, and I am proud of that.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

I think this is why so much nostalgia kick sells (like me buying Noggin the Nog).
