    A load of misspelled words in that ad, even in the title; ‘wetern train toy’.

    Werten is a village in Dorset, England so maybe it was the local service they made

      At one time there was a shipment of products from Hong Kong addressed to a firm in Hayward, CA. We in the receiving Dept. had a laugh when we saw the boxes addressed to “Heywood, CA.”

        Yeah when I worked early 90’s with Chinese warehouses it was a mess. It also is mess x then with any other western language as well.
        By mid 2000s it had improved a lot thanks to computer and internet.
        All Chinese employers in partial type business dpt take constant languages teaching by now. It is weekly mandatory in many companies there.
        But the same way is very hard x any of us learn Chinese ,it is also very hard x then to learn write and spell more than speak of course.

    I might be interested in it; even though I’m kind of backing off on 1/72 scale figures – time, space, not to mention eyesight. I started painting my 1/32 guys and got spoiled. I literally have thousands of 1/72 scale figures that need painting but am not looking forward to going back to the smaller scale. At the same time, I don have a load of already painted 1/72 ACW figures the train would go well with – just a little touchup on the paint – weathering and such and it would work well.

    How come Hong Kong, China, Russia & Mexico can all produce plastic figures, but the USA can’t quite figure it out????? (Except for Stengel Jr.!!) 🙂

      Andy ,it is the cost .Any machine in US cost a lot. I mean a good machine.
      production need to get a permit that required you to use a particular rented or owned place to do. You can try do small hand pressed parts in your basement ,but chances are some one will step and denounce it and you get a ticket plus legal issues on you.=No good
      If running figures x your self or soo intriguing and hard to find as Stengels that few still only got ,but most still waiting-if ever. You may want ask him what so special secret he used to make then and also the secret of buying then too.
      He is not first at all in US.
      .Barzo did all resin production in US unless I’m complete wrong, Plastic Underground too,(TD too)!?If I’m not mistaken. But for very limited.
      The two US limited makers figures civil war sets done by(I forgot name now guys!!??) were also done here in US if I’m right!!
      So in US we are capable, just that costly and hobby is very demanding but not willing to support as we always though-trust me.
      In the other places .
      Mexico you can do wherever you like pretty much if Mexican, they use ex older machinery probably and the cost is cheap as plastic and labor are cheap.
      But this assumption had brought a lot of misunderstanding between American investors and Mexican too. No much trust there.
      China-mass production is in numbers and they learn long ago-is not a secret, beside ancient Chinese tradition are very smart,-one they get up w tech they can surpassed any body else. Production and labor is cheap-yet they use top line machinery from Europe.(machine running my first tank is German and cost 1 million, it could run thousands x weeks non stopping with out cleaning).

      Russia-very ex soviet cultural secret way to go along with all, any how desperate MARX give then many molds and secrets in the 70’s-(very not correct way American doing business with so call enemies in cold war”)
      From there they learn to do new true 3 D images real toy figures and depart from their old so flat tradition that they ben doing since early till 80’s.
      Wherever short run production now I bet is over priced because they want money quick, not because cost so much do.
      Wile long production as MARS Russian brand set is very cheap.

      Hong Kong was part England-UK-British Empire, all or most British 50/60′ maker toy soldiers and else produced figures there by taken mold there, same way MARX did with so many molds to reduce cost production as hand labor is and was more cheap. Once HK -Chinese learn they develop their own ,copied and now HK is china ,not longer independent colony. So wherever is designed new there is Chinese and said so in figures.
      EXForces -Singapore base factory design and produce figures in china using Chinese artist most, plus one from Japan .Till last time I knew.
      OWN brand I carry were 100% designed by Chinese artist under Chinese administration .True example of how quality could be done with out coping.
      Hope this explain a bit .
      in US made figures names else I could mix and not correct and any body could go ahead and correct me please.
      best…

        Andy, Jeff Imel of VictoryBuy has teamed with J. Lloyd, the company that owns many of the TimMee/Processed Plastic and Lido/Tootsietoy molds to reissue a wide range of the TimMee/Processed Plastic figures at very reasonable prices. You can get the classic Processed Plastic Vietnam era GIs in a variety of colors, cave men, space figures, cowboys and Indians, frontiersmen, civilians, and the PP tanks, jeeps, cannon, helicopters, and planes – and all made in the US of high quality plastic! Here is a link to his Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_toys-and-games?_encoding=UTF8&node=165793011&field-brandtextbin=Tim%20Mee

    Guess that’s why China holds the mortgage on the US.
    All our “government” and “legislation” keeps us behind the 8 ball.
    Looking forward to what Trump will do.

    Am I wrong in thinking that anyone who collects Marx is not really interested in TimMee re-releases?
    First off, the real stuff is already plentiful, because no one wants it.
    It’s not like it’s hard to find TimMee army men.

    I just don’t get this one?

      Bill, I was pointing out VictoryBuy’s TimMee/Processed Plastic reissues as an example of reasonably priced army men still being produced in the USA. I don’t suppose they are aimed at the collector market, but for someone who just wants good quality army men for their toy armies or wants to buy troops for their kids far superior to the dreadful Imperial TimMee clones that infest the box stores and Dollar Tree – they are great!

      Somewhere along the line I will get some of their reissues of the Swat police as those are harder to find and I will use them for my stories which I doubt I will ever get a chance to do.

    I guess we all buy and collect what we like want and wish ,many vintage around are played,used with tooth mark ,dust ,smelly else, so chances are new fresh made in US Tim Mee are a good choice.
    I got chance get those mounted reissues pioneers now and not before as previews even around they were very hard to get all poses at once and many played a lot.
    The big C130 is a nice to have, I have one and plan get other.
    Too bad pirates ,knights and many others original mold such armored car- ww2 M8 model and real 1.30 scale done in plastic is not longer around too.

    I like the Timmee Russians and Knights, other than that they don’t do much more me especially the newer Timmee. I do have quite a few Timmee’s, but I have little interest in getting more GI’s.

    Erwin,

    Yes, many conversions may be in order. I may convert into a crabby old man too. Wait, I’m already there.
