Our very good friend Don Ducotte passed along some interesting finds he found at OTS.
Here is a list of what I call “interesting finds”;
1. 2 or 3 (maybe I saw one twice) Marx Min Iwo sets
2. 2 Mx Min ACW sets, 2 Mx Min Knight Castle, and a partial Trench Warfare set in a cigar box for about $800
3. The most odd/interesting find for me was “Magnetic Action – Counter Attack”; complete with 4 bldgs, tanks, soldiers, board, and wands. I have not seen this since 1968.
4. David and Goliath non-mint but seemingly complete; $20
5. Various and plentious Britiains SP Detail and Swoppets, usually way overpriced. Timpo stuff available also, but overpriced.
6. Flat Mx Vikings – haven’t seen more than 5 of these at a time since I dropped in on Peter Fritz in 1990.
7. A widow selling her late husband’s remaining metal collection items for good prices.
8. A Tibidabo Castle, complete with only tiny damage, in damaged box, for $50
9. Britian’s Swoppet Western Bldgs, Bank and Saloon at a good pre-show price.
10. NOT as good a selection of good Mx WW2 figures as I’ve seen in the past.
Saw the Austin Miniatures resin prototypes up close and personal over the weekend, 4 of the 6 poses anyway. Unfortunatley , the suspected Clint pose was not among them. They are very detailed with accurate depiction of the weapons and appeared to me to be a true 54mm. The four I saw were all firing different weapons and they all look very animated in their poses, not stiff and statue like soome figures. I know I’ll be buying them when they become available.

Did they give a time line of when these figures will be out?
I heard by OTSN 2013 at the latest, possibly with more then 6 poses too.
