[@pcojedi]

I got my Fort Apache for Christmas 1973, also got a King Arthurs Castle

[@КостиныСолдатики]

Да, раньше и в Европе, и в Америке производили отличных солдатиков. Жаль, что эти времена ушли.

1967 Christmas for me.

[@gerardsaretsky5630]

I had this set…!!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

It was a fun toy back then and now it is an expensive collectible Those were the days

Your friend with the hammer, was probably in the NEWS a lot during his later life.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

No doubt. He probably was a little unstable. I remember once he wore a costume cape and shouted that he was Superman before leaping from the roof of his house..He broke his leg.

I always wonder what tribe the Marx’s Native Americans are supposed to be.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I'm seriously considering your question, so without sarcasm or disrespect I am forced to say I think Marx Indians are from the "Hollywood" tribe They represent the impression of what whites thought Indians to be like.

We had this as kids, the exact box😊 We probably threw it away… but we recently bought it again about 6 years ago,on EBay 👏🏻 Back in the early 80’s, we would use the fort (or its surviving parts,haha) with our Britains Deetail Civil War figures. Ahh, magical times.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

It was the best of times for sure. A lot of stuff happened to us as kids but only our favorite toys and our time playing with them provides the best memories!

[@leoncsorba9085]

As a child I found that the horses legs always needed widening, they ended up looking like baby Bambis🤓🐎

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Exactly! Mine looked like they had been drinking. They fell down a lot!

[@SENOJYDNAR]

Thanks for another great video. Bob's big boy sounds good! See you there!

[@paulbervid1610]

Awesome video. The blockhouse is my favorite Marx playset.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I always thought the perfect Fort Apache would have the stand alone blockhouse, the blockhouse over the gate and the smaller block houses on each corne!

[@paulbervid1610]

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 I agree that would be awesome

[@MACEWINDULastJedi]

At the time Marx is putting out the last version of Fort Apache, there's a movie with Paul Newman in the theatres called, Fort Apache The Bronx, about the police station in the dangerous neighbourhood in NY City!🤠🏹🏹

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I remember that! I actually saw that movie back in the day. It wasn't quite the Fort Apache I wanted to see! Oddly enough NYC today is far more dangerous than it was back then!

[@MACEWINDULastJedi]

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 Ya! It's gone from Starski and Hutch dangerous, to Mad Max level!

Now that is a VERY Needy Christmas! I think I got a sweater.

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

I still have my cowboys and Indians I had as a kid growing up in the 90s. I love this channel, just goes to show figurines aren't just for 14 year olds, I'm 35 and I still collect army men. I also have a small collection of police and security figures too. I have all sorts of armies including ancient Persians.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

As Samantha Fox would sing, " more, more, more!" Your collection is getting big!

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 It is, yes! I have literally thousands of them now, from 1 small bag when I was 5, to the collection I have now.

[@ericbliss9512]

I still have my fort. Its from the mid seventies. It has the block house over the gate. It came from sears. I'm missing some of it. But a lot of good memories.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

A lot of parts are being remade nowadays so you might be able to replace missing stuff. It sounds like you had one of the Heritage sets that Sears sold. The Heritage sets are the last hurrah for Marx. Star wars came out in 77 and dominated the toy market soon after Now Play Sets like Fort Apache are things of the past. If I go down the toy aisle these days all I see is Dinosaurs

[@ericbliss9512]

I've had pretty good luck finding things at flea markets. I even bought a whole fort for 20 dollars. You are correct not much to look at in the toy isles these days.
