Why am I having flashbacks to mid 1970s Airfix Magazines? I will be dreaming about doing the whole of the Hyborian Age using only Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham sets.

For me, it's wellingtonics with the ACW series. When they brought out French and British line infantry, I had so much repainting to do.
