I understand some people want the original box but I have always thought that sellers overprice items.goat major wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 2:30 pm That ebay listing is in the original box so I think he won't have a problem selling
As I've sold thousands of mostly painted figures over the past 2 years, I tend to agree. The seller often has an emotional attachment added to the price that will not be met.Willz the Wargamer wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 3:17 pm I have always thought that sellers overprice items.

I agree compared to what plastic figure manufacturers produce today they are not the most detailedochoin wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 9:37 pmAs I've sold thousands of mostly painted figures over the past 2 years, I tend to agree.

But it also works the other way. Let me say, diplomatically, these Airfix Guard figures are, as figures go, not good. Worthless, even?
But factor in a nostalgic call to your youth & they're very valuable, indeed.

COMPLETE WITH ALL FLAPS, SLIGHTLY OUT OF SHAPE AT ONE END AND MINOR STORAGE WEAR.
I always thought it was a shame they never completed it with Scots and Irish Guards pipers and the Queen's Drummer + wolfhound.
And of course, having skipped the "SLR era" you can now trim the rifles to become SA80s.
Blimey! I'm older than I thought.BaronVonWreckedoften wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 9:51 pm Well, given their year of original release, it should (just) be an SMLE. The SLR required a revised drill from the SMLE, mostly being carried at the "Order Arms" position, but the good old "Slo-hopah, Haaaams!" came back into fashion with the SA80.
Having looked carefully at a couple of photos of the set I can definitively say that the sculpting looks very much like a Mk1 Stick. The designers weren't really tied by any adherence to detail.
