Toy Soldier Collector

I HAVE taken out a two-year subscription to Toy Soldier Collector - not least because it is next-to-impossible to find a newsagent that sells the magazine (larger branches of WH Smith, for example, stock the similar, but more American-focussed, Toy Soldier & Model Figure).

Issue 77, the first of my subscription, arrived today

Issue 77, which covers August/September 2017, is full of inspiring photos. But as usual the fact that stands out the most is how ridiculously expensive most "toy soldiers" are.
I use quotation marks because the vast majority of so-called toy soldiers are not meant to be played with as toys and are well beyond pocket-money prices.
But as the author of https://poundstoreplasticwarriors.wordpress.com/ points out, real toy soldiers at very low prices are still available, albeit mostly in pound stores and the like.
