it's a bren gun ya ididot!!

Where do you get the army men?

Optimus Prime didn't need to walk, because he always stood his ground!

Great video & review thank you 🙏 for the look at these, here in the states I have not seen anything like these before

Hear the words I sing, War's a horrid thing, So I sing sing sing...ding-a-ling-a-ling A different war, but quite apt I feel. Like all Britains toy soldiers, these are really nice. I especially liked the vehicles you showed here, although the German one has a bit of a go-kart feel to it. Very nice all the same. A very merry Christmas to you, Mr Si 🎄

Very nicely done and I really appreciated the Fawlty Towers insert as I could sense it was coming and I wasn’t disappointed. 👍🏻

Lovely figures! Good you could save the Land Rover from the sands of time. The vehicles seem to have been produced in robust quality. 'they don't make em like that anymore' 😀

Nice ❤️❤️❤️

Bullseye 🎯

It was great to see you on deans livestream on Sunday it was will you be getting any other world war 2 lines of the britains figures ?

Awesome

These are cool my friend thanks 🙏 for showcasing them

Sorry about that. I do play a bit with my old toys but most of them are not mint. It is a risk but I enjoy playing with them. Hopefully you can fix it. Thanks for sharing.

Hans, are we... the baddies? These are fantastic! Really nice looking figures. I quite like the paint job on the tank too, although I'm not sure how accurate it is. It just looks good to me. A good day to you, whatever you're doing. 👍 PS I've never seen Private Ryan, but I have seen Saving Private LION. Available to watch on KZbin as we speak. 😂

The German poopoo za gun 😂😂😂

Wonderful collection you have there. I have ONE figure with the sand colored base and it just drives me crazy when I look at my collection as it stands out like a sore thumb. Loved the German accent by the way 😂

Very cool collection! I had a few of these figures when I was a kid, almost all from the US Army.

Aaah, Medic! Great Vid Si! Had a few of these as a kid, mainly had the plastic moulded guys, but no clue who they were made by?! Hopefully see you on AT80's Xmas livestream again this week Dude! All the best!

My bro this catalog bring back good memories. I remmber all the corgi die cast cars. The batmobile the spiderman cars and the superman cars to. And I remmber all the James bound cars like the Austin Martin db5 and the lotus sub to. ❤ wicked catalog keep as a sovenire. Ow,, I love the back music to

Your video made me remember, I got that A team 3 and 3/4 inch Galoob set of figures before I started getting GI Joes as gifts regularly. I know before Christmas if had gotten Snow Job and Destro. At Christmas I got the 5 or 6 inch tall A Team Face action figure (Inliked him the most because he was Lt Starbucks in Battlestar Galactica, my favorite part of A Team intro besides the music was Fave seeing that Cylon and doing a double take). I got the whole team in that GI Joe scale. They came with a pile of those crappy M-60 style machine guns, the back packs with hoses, and I think they came with some other small stuff (a cobra night landing style raiding craft sticks in my memory for some reason). No joes for that Christmas. I played with the A Team guys, but their accessories were junk compared to Joes.

I have vintage hotwheels track from 1996 and I still use them dispite being 19, I just want to enjoy my youth, don't judge me, and the track can still be used like if it was new

Forgive me for sounding like an absolute moron but if I were to buy toys that I once played with as a child and it broke I wouldn't mind if a little thing broke here or there because I would just glue it back together. Even if I couldn't fix I would still savor the memory down one of the few good memories I have had as a child regardless if I couldn't fix it.

Oh man sometimes it’s hard not to play with our toys . I have had cases where I touched something on one of my toys and it broke . Yes , it’s very annoying especially when you have tried to take care of something . Fantastic sharing as always ! Keep up the great work amigo !!

I feel for ya mate. I got a M.A.S.K Iguana vehicle which no longer has the original tyres on it as they turned into black mush. I have a M.A.S.K Rhino too. I display it with the rocket not in its launcher for the same reason you mentioned, 'Not to stress the spring mechanism'. I'm hesitant to try the rocket mechanism on mine now after seeing your video. One thing I've always done with Rhino is having the spring loaded grill ram bar on the front out instead of retracted in, also V.E.N.O.M Jackhammer, I display mine with the rear gun turret up with the figure sitting at the controls. Preserving those spring mechanisms is most important. Thanks for good video.

I can assure you that the purple plastic on Rhino does not respond to heating. I tried straightening one of the doors by placing it in boiling water. It did no damage to it, but the plastic did not want to flex at all. So don't waste time trying to heat any of it up. Interestingly, My Rhino is displayed with the rocket locked down, ie: spring down and it has sat like that for years. I rarely touch it though, as it's a hair trigger. The sad reality is that these things were never intended to last 40+ years and the plastic becomes brittle as the plasticisers in them break down. Unlike some collectors, I have no issue with people doing running repairs on their toys or fabricating replacement parts. The idea that you can keep anything in original shape for decades on end is unrealistic. I owned a 1958 Holden FC for 18 years and there's no way that thing would have stayed on the road had parts not been replaced and refurbished over time. I'd rather have something look good and be played with than sat on a shelf through fear of touching it.

I must disagree with your conclusion. "Mint condition" only really matters for resale. It seems like you want to play with you stuff (as you should) based on the fact that they broke so I would advise you not to deny yourself part of your enjoyment of these things in the name of "future value." There's a (somewhat crass) saying in the car community: "Not driving your car to keep its value is like not screwing your girlfriend to keep her tight for the next guy." A slightly less crass saying which might be applicable here is the classic "'Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all."

Dude, that sucks mate, but, to be fair, people that work in museums also don't play with their items, just leave them in a display box and look at them......

Sometimes you just gotta try to fix things,and feel awful when you make It worse 😊

Nooooo!!!! Dang sorry Si, I can imagine the anguish!!!! 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️ I really hope they can be repaired my friend 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

For a second there, I thought the narrator was going to be Ewan MacGregor, with the "Hello there" line, lol!

I noticed these in Smyths Toys today. Some of the vehicles are huge and fairly inexpensive. The Helicopter and jet are particularly nice, though the figures seem out of scale. Still, pretty good looking toys for the price. Hope all's well, Si 👍
