hello again and thank you all for your encouraging words,i forgot to include some vital info in my last post that i thought i'd share with you all, that being why my obsession with these small figurines, it's what i call the future looking back at the past, especially with the large variety of figures in the market, i display my figuines and dioramas at a few of the local libraries and give as good of a description of each piece that i've displayed as i can, it's like taking the kids and some of the accompaning adults to anothr place and time, like a history lesson, but i try to eliminate as much of the gore as possible,i love doing this, i did it for my kids as they were growing up and they're great readers now teaching their kids, also i'm hoping that i'm passing on the hobby to other aspiring hobbyists, so i keep trying to find more figures that i can purchase to keep doing what i'm doing, so i ask again, if anyone knows of anyone who no longer wants these little guys, the size helps me make the small dio's that the kids see through the displays at the library, pls. let me know,maybe we can even do some trading, i have a bunch of model cars and even some planes i'd be willing to swap,this means alot to me and it's a kind of enjoyment that i'm really trying to pass on, than you all and god bless ( nicholae@webtv.net )
