I bought some Alamo soldier sets for my son and they now belong to my grandson. Both of them play with them in a unique way. I own lots of Westerns on DVD, and there are 2 particular Westerns that were not only favorites of mine, but both my son and now my grandson, have taken a particular liking to. These 2 movies are Major Dundee and Cavalry Charge. In both of these there are Alliances between Union, Confederate, and Cowboys against Apaches and the Mexican Army in Major Dundee and in Cavalry Charge just against Apaches. What they do is take all their Union, Confederate, and Cowboys, in a town being forced to set aside their differences because the Apaches, Commanches, and Mexican Army have allied to kill all Americans! And both sides have Cannon! The Union has a secret weapon, 5 Gatling Guns. Four are actual, I think BMC, the 5th is a souvenir pencil sharpener. LOL My grandson is also wanting to do a 55 Days at Peking set up, using the Alamo Mexicans as the French. Yeah, it's the hats. He's bought about 60 Boxers so far from Armies in Plastic, but of course he needs a couple hundred just to start with. He's got a heck of an imagination!

Wish I had taken all my soldiers with me instead of giving them away. Such wonderful memories...

Wow, what IS that set? Such realistic looking walls that are actually wide enough on top to put defenders on! And to SCALE too! Totally accurate looking with even that wooden palisade between the mission and the other adobe building.

This is a great set and good video.I have a lot of toy soldiers but now i am a pacifist so now when my toy soldiers meet in battle they engage in negotiations in a friendly way discovering mutual interests and later go out for dinner together sharing and caring.

I bought the CTS 'deluxe' Alamo set four years or so ago. Great price for the massive amount of stuff you get. I ended up buying extra CTS buildings, as well as buildings/walls from MicShauns and others. Scratch built some stuff too. I repainted everything in a dingy white with adobe accents. That way I can use it for the Alamo, a Mexican village, A French Legion Fort or WW2 North Africa. Nice to have options.

I remember when I was young going over to my cousins house they were girls and played with barbies I always brought my gi Joe's over and had them save barbie from the bad guy. I remember one time one of my cousins lived at my house and she brought her whole barbie house there and one day I drove my remote controlled giant gi joe tank into her room while she was playing and fired off all the gunfire noise , she wasn't happy lol
