[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

Awesome! Vintage toy soldiers!😌

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I was reminded that it was Creek that attacked Fort Mims in 1813.

[@paulbervid1610]

That is a great set. It would be awesome if they were block heads.

[@ZZSmithReal]

If they were blockheads they would be present day Texans.

[@strangleholdoutdoors]

Nice! I have a really nice york town and d day set!

[@SENOJYDNAR]

It was the Creek tribe that massacred Fort Mims. Great video. Loved Fess Parker!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Yup.I looked it up and realized I had forgotten a bit more history once again. Since I remember only bits, I should just say Nothing.

ZORRO told the round hat guys, We're closed! Go Away! ADIOS! But I hear the ALAMO is open! So the round hats joined those other guys for a Texas Ho-down! Sears has also gone the way of Woolworth! Remember The ALAMO! ,And Woolworth,and Sears!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I actually worked at Sears for a couple of years. I could see the signs that they were in trouble. I miss the Sears of my youth. Going to the toy department was like a bit of heaven!

[@user-nj8tz5en7k]

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 They use to put together nice displays in the toy departments,and now they almost right away throw the toys in a big discount bin,like a feeding trough!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Yesterday on MeTV Davy Crockett is on. I tried to watch it but it was so terrible I turned it off.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Was it too dated for you?

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I think I got my son a reissue of this set in the late 1990s? It might have been a cheaper knockoff or something as it only had a mockup of the front of the Alamo and 2 wooden 'Bunkers' that attached to it, but also boxes and barrels. No Cavalry, about 40 Mexicans, 25 Defenders, including Travis, Crockett, and Bowie. Lots of little Canons. He added Civil War Canons to it for more accuracy. But after awhile he started cheating. He threw in Soldier sized non moving Super Heroes and a few hundred Modern Soldiers. After that it became a Massacre in favor of the Texans with each Mexican soldier dying 20 times!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

The Texans could have used some of those M16 rifles!

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

Well, the Texans also had Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Black Widow. Not to mention soldiers with the M-60 machine gun, Bazooka, Flamethrower, and Morter along with M-16s. I almost felt sorry for them when he started cheating. He didn't cheat with his Civil War battles though. Ironically he had an unusual play style. My son most often combined the old movies Cavalry Charge with Ronald Reagan, and Major Dundee with Charlton Heston. So he had Union, Confederates, and Cowboys vs. Indians backed by the Mexican Army. Both sides had Canons, then my son found Gatling Gun pencil sharpners and that became one sided with Indians and Mexicans dying 10 times each.

THAT A BMC SET SOLD AT TOY OR US LATE 90S..THEY SELL THE SOLDIERS IN DIFFERENTCOLOR NOW. ON LINE

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

Pretty sure you're right. I was sure it was a knockoff when I got it. He liked all kinds of Toy Soldiers. He had modern, Alamo, Civil War, and Knights. He was trying for a '55 Days at Peking', but, after getting about 60 Boxers he started losing interest and stopped playing with all of them for the most part.

[@ewmhop]

BMC HAS A LOT OF REPOP NOW HE CAN DO THE 55 DAYS AT PEKING THAT WAY.I GOT LOTS OF THE SETS BACKTHEN.@@BladeStar-uq6xe

[@garycurtis57]

Fess was great as Davey and Danial.

[@blockmasterscott]

1:30 I had that Alamo set lol!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Do you still have it or did it end up in a garage sale? Not much makes it into our adult lives. My oldest Brother Robert had an American Flyer train set that he loved and my dad gave it away when my brother was in the army!

[@blockmasterscott]

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 Oh no, that thing has been gone for about 40 years, got lost while moving several times in my childhood!
