Expeditionary Force August Release Information
Dear All,
Greetings from Singapore!
Very pleased to inform you of the release of one new set in the “54mm Napoleonic Wars” range.
54 BRT 09 Line Command (Drums, Flags, etc.)
All models are supplied unpainted. The set should be available for shipment by end of this week or early next week.
The set contains 8 model soldiers plus two horse models comprising of 2 mounted staff officers, 2 ensigns/officers, 2 drummers, and 2 buglers. With the release of this set, all the major components of an infantry battalion can now be assembled with the range.
The ensigns are wearing a King’s German Legion officer uniform. During the period, officers in the field often take the liberty to wear non-regulation decorations on their uniforms. Thus, variations are to be expected. The ensign paraphernalia of arms (posture), shoulder belt and staff head can be assembled with other infantry officer models in our range for greater variety. These models are also provided with spare arms to be converted into center or flank company officers.
Expeditionary Force Next Release
The next set in the production queue is the 60 CTB 04 Warband at the Charge! set to be released in early September 2019.
Looking forward to your kind support.
Cheers,
Scott

The Lido black and white mounted knights may be a warehouse find from when Toy Street made a card stock castle with the Marx reissue knight carry-all plastic gate and tower pieces in the 1990s. The set included reissue Marx first version 54mm knights, reissue MPC horses with paper knight blankets and one white & one black reissue Lido knights (no weapons). Little green Armymen may have stumbled upon the remnants of these Lido figures
Yes I agree i have those recast from exact same playset .What is odd he does not offer weapons neither horse ,so i do not think will be a good sale ,any how 2.00 for then is not much .
The weapons were the Marx spears lances from MARX recast as were included extras x the two LIDO knights and all marx poses as well .I have rescat one black one white and they were both together pack inside small plastic poly bags without weapons .
The box playset does not show then outside photo as only show marx recast in silver and gold .The figures may had been add as last bonus in assembling the playset production by TOY STREET .
The Marx first version 54mm knight mold makes 10 figures and 4 lances. Only three of the knights have ring hands so there was an extra lance in each of the gold & silver sets and you could equip the Lido knights with them. Sadly it seems the Lido weapon mold was scrapped in the 1960s.
That is what i above .The playset come with 8 lances ,6 marx poses to use then and 2 extras x Lido two figures.
