  • I got a bit carried away and bought a few items online without checking the shape of the content first. It ended up okay, but not great, in the end.
    The other stuff I got was great though.

    I love your unboxings and videos. I'm a kid of the mid 1960's, and Airfix then, was HUGE. The 'OO' (1/76) scale figures were the bane of my parents' life - they got everywhere. I still find them when digging the garden. You have what I had, and I'm glad to see them again. 👍👍👍

    Holy shit! Battle Kings! For decades I had been wondering what these were called. I had seen them as a kid in stores, but couldnt remember what the line was called. I was blown away by the figures that were included, but when I discovered the 1/76 infantry sets, I forgot all about these. What memories. Many thanks man.

      They were so cool. I had the King Tiger in silver and the Sheridan in green.
      Cheers man.

    LK didn't want anyone taking his troops. I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid and brought my soldiers to school to play with in the sandbox at lunch.

    Beachhead Assault, got one in the late 70s it was and still is my absolute favourite toy, much to my present day regret I gave it away in the late 80s. Great to see they are still out there, can't wait to see more of it ......well done on your purchases 🇮🇪

      @@toysoldiernostalgia yes loved it I got rid of the metal vehicles with the playset and it fitted in well with my obsession with Matchbox 1/76 plastic kits. Sometimes I pieced it out for war games with other dioramas and sometimes it was kept together for D-day landings, usually depended on whatever war movie I saw last.

    Hey there,
    Really enjoy these videos. I was born in the 90s and I always had a fascination with 1/72 model kits, particularly World War 2. I'm happy that I get to experience seeing the vintage toys from the 60s/70s, well before my time.

    Don't forget the Airfix dinosaur models. I love the dinosaurs another favorate subject. If you happen to get any of those models amongst your collections. Can't get over the loads of soldiers your receiving! Here in Australia its just the latest 15 figures boxes the same ones, german, American Afrika korps , British and i think thats it. Sometimes there's the odd Multi pose model figures 1/32 scale. I have two lots of German infantry and British infantry. Ive missed the Afrika Korps , American infantry , Japanese, and American Marines. All those model figures are very nicely detailed. I wish i had all of those.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

    I dreamt of having the Beach Head set as a kid, all I had was a picture of it in an advertisement brochure (in germany). My mom didn't allow me to have toy soldiers and tanks, but anyway I bought a set of Airfix soldiers, got some tanks, and some time later my mom gave up her protest. I built a Beach Head set myself then, with ruins and floormap made from cardboard.

    Perhaps someone here can help me on this. Back in the 80s I purchased a small, snap together playset from a model shop. My memory is that it was airfix, but perhaps it wasn't. The kit was of a Venus flytrap in a jungle setting, which was scaled to seem large in comparison to 3 & 3 quarter inch figures. If you placed an object in the centre of the plant, it would close on it! Been searching every combo of words I can think of to describe this lost toy with no joy whatsoever.

    • @toysoldiernostalgia
