There is a WWII film called battleground!!!!

Awesome, looks like one of your best sets.

Hi, l enjoy your channel and seeing toys that my brothers and myself had as kids and played with. I also have an Army play set that you might be interested in, is there some way to contact you with photos and other info?

I love those old Marx playsets! I remember lots of them from my childhood. JC Penney and Sears always had many of them in their Christmas catalogs. I had two of the "Fort Apache"s during my life, one with the old style cavalry, and one with the newer cavalry. I had a couple of the army sets from World War II, "Desert Patrol", and "History in the Pacific". The last one I had was "The Blue and the Gray", their Civil War set. They were so cool. I can't believe that you find those boxes, too! Love your channel!

So elaborate! If you ever decide to set it up and play with it, please make another video of it!

Beautiful condition and an awesome set, thank you for showing us.

Those palm trees and mountain pieces found their way into many play sets. Thank you for a look at a very desirable play set!

Holy-smoke, what a wonderful video. 😊

Yes, I prefer the old school horror toys and movies as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I need these in my life!!! Supercool!

What a cool playset.

Cool set, do you have a video of a set like this assembled?

I will be starting a KZbin channel in early spring about the history of Toy soldier collecting. Hope to see you there. Still working on studio stuff. 👍

Unbelievable 😍😍😍

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and commenting!

I remember watching that show back in the day. Lord knows they would never make a show like that these days!

Actual classical monsters not this zombie junk

The ONLY TOY SET that My Dad would NEVER Let me play with WHY ? ? ? HE WAS THERE My Mom accidentally bought a bag of soldiers she didn't see that they were Japanese and had a Japanese war flag After a couple of days of playing with them they strangely disappeared My Dad said that they went AWOL

This is the color it should have always been.💯 Great score 🤳

I found a knock-off set like this for $10.oo at a Flea Market last year. The figures were bad, but the Fort and weapons sprue were worth it. The horses weren't able to stand. This game box was an import copy.

Super nice! Thank for for the detail.

Got mine in 1965 with money from shoveling sidewalks, Still have some of it,

had this one long time ago thanks for the memories

I had this set. It felt like the tall-hat (shako) soldiers were a different scale (smaller figures) than the round-hat soldiers.

very informative. like the playsets

Fantástico ❤

Just a glimpse is enough😊

Got this on xmas morn 1962. It was a Sunday too so we went to high mass and every kid was figetin to get back to his playset. Lots of snoww too

A decade later, they were using the same Indians, tee-pees, trees, well, etc., but no Indian ponies, for my Fort Apache set. It always irritated me the Indians had to ride cavalry horses with saddles and covered stirrups.

Are you in Maryland?

The Indians are the same as the Fort Apache set, but I don't recognize the cowboy figures or animals.

Mystery solved! Even as a kid, I knew the post-Korean War tank, and M14 rifles were wrong in my D-Day, North Africa, and Iwo Jima sets. Now I understand; they were originally the modern army, and Marx never changed anything - they just re-named the sets.

I got this the same year as the Iwo Jim set; about 1965. The year before I got the D-Day set. It really bothered me they used a Panther tank, and a post-Korean War American tank. WHY?!! Why not just get it right - at least for the Americans? I don't remember the Americans in tan; only green. The Germans and barbed-wire were a light gray.

I had the Iwo Jima set, and the D-Day set. I have no idea why they used a post-Korean War American tank. You might notice many of the American soldiers are armed with the (at the time, modern) M-14 rifle with 20-round magazine; instead of the M1 rifle with internal 8-round clip. Even as a kid, I knew it was the wrong tank and rifle.

It's interesting to see what they kept through the years. About 1960, my Alamo set used the outside accessories. My Fort Apache set did not have the indoor accessories, and all the figures were different; as was the building. I wonder why they kept changing things? Both of my sets used hard plastic ladders (single pole). And I have no idea how I obtained them (this set came out the year I was born), but I think I have the crawling man with the raised knife, plus some others (brown figure with bow, etc.). And I think the buckboard!

A derivation of the Fort Apache set I had. The fort (not the building), the horses, and the Indians are the same. The soldiers and cannon are not. It always bugged me that they only had Cavalry horses with saddle & covered stirrups for the Indians to ride.

Good video! No talking and no background music---just what I like! "Cinema Verite" style! As for Capt. Gallant I don't have the original playset, but for play and display purposes I've been able to reconstruct a lot of it. I have the accessories reissue from years ago, Arab tent and accessories, Marx palm trees, camels, AIP Arabs and Timpo Legionnaires. The only thing I don't have are those nice fort walls and the HQ building. But, with a little cream color paint and some wooden blocks, and a suitable cardboard box.....

Nicely nicely done. Loved the video 👍👍
