    I swear John has the attitude, the smile, and the eyes of a 11 years old kid having the time of his life. ^^ Never stop playing and having fun people. You'll stay young.

      He he, why do you think I never grew up? I'm autistic and have the mind of a 14 year old boy. I collect army men too.

    Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I enjoy. I'm autistic and have the mind of a 14 year old boy. I only get peanuts in my current job, most my spare cash goes on my army men collection. I used to think I was odd for still being into army men toys, until I had a YT channel. I have literally thousands by now, I'm getting some lead soldiers when I have the money, each figure costs £4.99!

    I noticed there were very few kits relating to popular culture franchises like Star Wars, Warhammer 40K, Gundam and Dungeons and Dragons.
    I think this is a good thing though, stick to your guns. I like how this store is maintaining an old traditional toy soldier store style.
    Those pop culture brands are well covered by other stores.
