Recently a neighbor across the street put goods out for garbage. I took the boys out for a walk. One of their walks went by that person’s house. As we passed by I discovered the person had put out unused Uline 5′ by 5″ by 5″ boxes which I can use. After I took the boys home, I went back and got the boxes.
Some new items we missed reporting on were the new Replicants Robin Hood figures being offered by Steve Weston. There are 5 new figures, set three has a mounted Sheriff of Nottingham and Mounted Guy of Gisbourne. Set four has three foot figures Richard the Lionheart, Mutch Miller and Will Scarlet. The Richard Lionheart reminds me of a 45mm Cherilea knight. You can see the figures at the link below.

I have gotten the new Austin Miniatures marines and I like them. I think the Japanese they are will have out next year will be another winner. One complaint I have heard on the Austin Miniatures Japanese is having a pose of a Japanese officer with a sword. The feeling is we have enough Japanese officer with a sword figures from other makers and wished for a different pose. Likewise having a standing pose of the Japanese soldier standing with the light machine gun. One person wishes that they had done that pose as kneeling pose. Still I am sure they will be a success.
This past weekend Laurie got to see her bull riding live. The Professional Bull riding came to Allentown this past Friday and Saturday. She had an enjoyable time. I just took her to and from the show. I know how a football widow feels like. LOL
