A world without Toy Polloi is a world I don't want to live in 😭
Thanks. I hope to be around for a long time yet. Only a few signs of Toy Entropy going on with me so far.
Easy, they’ll restore you with LEGO parts to return the favor
😁
Hah!! Brilliant! 😂😂
Sorry to hear about your father.
Thanks
Ok ok, i'll take one for the team and take the lot. Its ok.... I can manage the strain...lol.
It's a sad topic, but actually something I've thought about as well. By the way just like you've said, it's not about the money. It's for the fun and relax these toys can give us.
My daughter has been bugging me if she's going to be the heir of my Star Wars collection, I suppose it's just her and me who really love Star Wars, and I know it would be in good hands when I go to that galaxy far, far away, thanks Dave!
You are very lucky to have that shared love of S.W. with your daughter - good for you sir!
@@gavalar7485 thank you!
As I have almost no toys from childhood and just my adult collection, I'm fine with my toys being dispersed however my family sees fit. Sell them off? Donate? Give away? Any of that would be fine. I collect for the thrill and fun of it. I imagine the same will happen to my record collection, tapes, CDs, guitars, and so on. Ultimately I don't want to be remembered for the things I owned, and I don't want what I owned to be a burden on others when I'm gone.
I feel you. I have made arrangements for my nephew to take the majority of my collectables. I hope that he will enjoy them as much as I do. You should collect what you love not for the value. The value should just be an after thought. Sorry to hear about your father but he was smart with what he did. At least he had the fore knowledge to make those actions.
Interesting video, Dave. Like you, I collect because I like things, not because of their value. I have already had the question from my nephew: "Uncle, when you die, can I have...?" Something he'd seen in the loft. I like the idea of it going to be sold for charity, but some expensive bits are earmarked for a couple of good friends. I'm amused by the thought of people digging through my stuff, finding something, and going: "What the hell?"
I find it very strange why people ask that question...it is satisfying to know, as you live each day, you appreciate your collection more and more...too have your childhood back makes us feel young again...im a 44 year old that loves to collect star wars (vintage), mego figures, etc...to ask what you do with your toys when you die, is really not anybodys business...at all...
Brent Morrison Excuse my question, but the Mego figures..are they $$$ or reasonable? I’ve got the ST line and the bridge, but really want at least the “World’s Greatest Superheroes” figures I had as a kid again.
Along with the 6MDM figures and play sets lol.
I would purously sneek a load of repro stuff to charity shops over my life of collecting. That should irk the elitist who's only real concern is repair jobs not sullying their precious hobby. The thing they fail to appreciate is they're dying at the same rate as those that purchase to repair. So half repro repaired figures aren't realy going to matter to them by the time they're out there to matter.
Its something i think about a lot, i have an 8 month old son so hopefully he'd be interested in some bits from my toy or video game collection but i'd also like some of my collection to be sold off with the money going to the Freeman hospital up in Newcastle where i had my heart transplant.
I don't know you at all, but I do know that I thoroughly enjoy what you do, and would certainly miss the unique way in which you do it, so in that respect there is definitely some random stranger from RUclips that worries about you. You are Toy Polloi, and no one will ever be again. So stay safe, stay healthy, stay Toy Polloi.
Much respect from Puerto Rico, looking forward to the next project.
Sorry about your Dad. I lost my Dad two months ago .
Thanks. I hope you are doing ok. It's a tough time.
@@toypolloi I am. It's a hard bridge to cross .
Man a museum. These are works of art. That’s what I want to do with my collection. They don’t make toys like they used too.
I’ve been thinking about this sort of thing for a while myself, especially since my mother passed away and I watched as relatives swooped in and tried to decide who gets what, and why. My son *loves* SW, ST, DW and the MCU. I’ve been collecting comics and figures for years, so I asked him if he’d like my collection at some point in the far distant future (I hope), and he replied “Dad, you know I don’t read” meaning after high school, he was done with it lol.
My great-grandma had a bunch of my grandpa and his brother's old toys from the 30s & 40s that were played with over three generations. When she died an uncle with grown kids took them and I never saw them again.
Live forever or die trying, and take your stuff with you if you die. As I recall a special burial vault had to be made to fit my former lawyers 65 Mustang, he did take it with him.
Oh, and I would always take donations of toys, I like toys, they help stimulate memories.
I always remember the story of a musician in my country. He burned everything he had not long before he passed away.
Another great video! I have had this same talk with my wife about my collection. Being 45 you never know when at this point. My father passed in his early 50’s.
This is a really good question. And people who don‘t have kids could not answer this question in a satisfying way. I have a very large movie collection on DVD. And i am asking myself the same question. What happen to them. In your case i would recommend to give your wonderful collection of toys to a museum. That would be really nice. A new home and many other will enjoy it in the future. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Sorry to hear about your dad Toy Polloi, I wish you the best in these complicated times.
Yeah I can relate. I lost my Dad suddenly in 2013. And I've just started selling everything that won't get used or displayed for enjoyment purposes.
This is something I keep thinking about myself. I've been debating selling off some of my collection both toys and comics, partially to make room for current interests and partially just to have less to deal with if I ever get to move again.
been thinking about this very topic recently... tough choices
The hours and hours of video that you have put on youtube keeps your memory alive. We have been there beside you thru years of toy repair, mending, and collecting. Maybe put your collection for sale to the collection of youtube followers who watched you build and rebuild the many, many toys. We would cherish them and Ms. Toypolloi would get a good bit of $$$/ support from us.... your loving fans. But enough of this death talk... long live Toypolloi!!!
I think it is best if they go to someone who would enjoy and appreciate these toys. Not someone looking to sell them for money. I feel like "they are toys therefore they should be played with and loved." Their boxes should also be appreciated since they are part of the toy. I think there is a special feeling when someone opens up a box knowing or not knowing of the condition of the toy they are opening. The anticipation of opening the toy box is like a special moment. Great collection!
What a hard topic to manage, you did really well tackling it, it’s something I think about now & again. My collection will no doubt be sold on eBay and family will enjoy the money.
You should have your own museum by then👍
That would be cool. Lets see what happens.
I'll have your vintage starwars collection if you want. My daughter was about ten at the time and said to me "Can I have your pocket knife collection when you die", ha ha. Great channel, keep up the good work.
I'm already working on selling all of my unwanted toys which I lost interest in due to them being placeholders, less detailed, less connected, no longer a completist, etc. It seems like it's at least half of the collection.
When I pass, at this point in time I don't know if my 1 year olds will get interested in my collection. I already told my wife she can auction it off locally at an auction house to get some money back out of it and use that for her and the children their needs. Family comes first.
Life is just a moment in someones time make the most of it .
Filll your life with Joy and make it contagious
Sir, I must say I have had the same thoughts for quite a bit now, considering we are from about the same generation. My collection is considerably smaller than yours, but there is, for instance, one item which has been with me since 1982, which amounts to over 40 years. It is a space adventure Gi Joe, licenced in Brazil as "Falcon", given to me as a gift then. I lost track of it when I left my parents' home in the 90's and found it again in 2005 in pieces since some visiting children from my family got their hands on it. It was at this point I began to learn how to restore Gi Joes and was able to bring it back to its glory in a period of about two years research and work. I am so connected to it and to the person who gave it to me back then, who by the way, has already passed away. I just wanted to feel that this should be preserved somehow because it is so meaningful to me.
Thank you for sharing so much.
I’ve been busy showing my daughter the stuff to keep and the stuff to sell. I have all my original Star Wars toys from 40 years ago and those need to be handed down, the rest can go towards something that’s important to her. For now, let’s enjoy it all.
I'm sure Michael at retro blasting would take good care of them.
I hope my empire of dirt goes to someone that will enjoy it as did I.
Boy oh boy do you have a diverse collection of toys there Mr. Toy-Polloi ! I was amazed to see a Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in your collection !
I don't just collect one line. I collect the stuff I had as a kid, which was pretty random as it mostly came from jumble sales. I just like the toys :D
Is a sad thing to think about. Terrible most people who ask are concerned about the Repros rather than you. My guess would be would be to try to give loved ones some insight info on value and rareness of the items. People who have never collected before or haven't any experience with collecting aren't going to know the difference between a Yak Face or Klaatu. If they sell items once you're gone and they have a bit of knowledge and will get a reasonable price for things.
I've had the same thoughts. I have shelves of miniatures, Dungeons & Dragons books (rare ones, autographed by Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, and other authors of the games), and stacks of resin cast terrain. If I kicked off tomorrow, what would become of it all? I do wonder.
Some day, a collector is going to be overjoyed to run across all your repaired toys, so he can try to salvage all the bits of lego hiding in them.
Much love to you, Dave. Sorry to hear about your father. Thanks for the videos you’ve made over the years; they bring a lot of joy to a lot of folks!
Your collection is amazing! I can tell you cherish and love your toys.
I'm sure there is some very clever person who has come up with "the Stages of a Toy Collector's Life"( and most likely it follows any other "Wanting, Aquisition and Selling/Gifting formula.) Since I am of the age group that saw the original Star Wars in theaters...I am approaching whatever the last quarter of it is now. With that in mind, a plan is always a good idea. When a toy or groups of toys have dulled a bit in your eyes, perhaps it is time to seek out someone who is truly longing for them... right now...and workout a great deal with them. Try to remember when you were just getting into true collecting...you just wished there was an older, wiser collector who was willing to help you complete a collection of those hard to find treasures. Now at this stage of my Collecting...I already have a few younger, yet eager collectors that I can help. My wife would not be in that position if I were suddenly taken to the Heaven. Kindness now...never a bad thing! PS My Buzz and Woody...they will go to my kids! TOY ON!
Well, if your better half is anything like mine, she's already making plans to sell them all!
Love your collection there! I used to own the Fisher Price Adventure People Robot Lady! :) Never had any Dune action figures and toys,but after Toys R Us first opened in my area I saw some of the toys there.
My first reaction Dave was "Does it matter? Just enjoy them while you're living" Then as the vid played thru, darn you, i started to even question that for myself 🤔🤦♂️ Intriguing video @Toy Polloi 👍❤
It's worth thinking about. I have yet to do anything myself but still ponder it.
Dave,
I had this same conversation with my wife explaining how to sell it all and try and make some money off my collection when I pass. Oddly she said she would not sell any of it and give it all to my kids! Awesome wife😁
She knows how much enjoyment it brings me and wants our kids to share in that feeling!👍
Respect for you & what you do, to the people in the collecting community that have a problem with you fixing toys they are the problem, not you
This video absolutely hit me hard as I've recently lost my mum and at 46 I'm caring for my 82 yr old dad. We all collected our own things Toys for me , tools for dad , family photos and ornaments for mum and trying to thin things out is SO hard! As a kid I told my mum to bury my Star Wars figures with me if I died. As an adult , I'd need a crypt for all of them now! And without any kids of my own I dread my stuff ending up in a skip if and when I throw a 7 on that lucky dice!
Sorry to hear about you Mum. Hope you are coping well in this tough time.
@@toypolloi thank you MR POLLOI, I appreciate the thought and I love your channel , it really gives me happy chills seeing all my childhood toys as they were fresh from the shops! Again, thanks!!
While this question is very morbid and quite deep, it is good to think about your wishes before you are gone, honestly giving out your toy collection to other enthusiasts or charity is your best solution in my opinion, it'd be a shame for all this collection and effort to go to waste
I myself collect alot of horsey stuff and other bits related to my hobbies and interests, about a year ago I had collected old vintage computers ranging from Commodores and Tandys to IBM and Apple and other brands who made tech in the 70s 80s and 90s. I ran out of space though after a few months and decided to give out my collection to other enthusiasts who have since used them for documentaries and videos alike
But whatever happens I hope your collection is safe, your own safety is important too
This is a genuinely interesting and challenging topic. Both my daughters have little interest in my few collections and hobbies, but I have draughted up a rudimentary will with instructions for the distribution of belongings as well as nominated people I would like certain items to be entrusted to. This by no means a fully legally savvy document immune from dispute, but should at least serve as a basis for a "set of wishes". Always planning for the worst and hoping for the best.
Sorry to hear about your dad passing I just lost my dad 2weeks ago and I dont have the problem of reproduction items but I do fix toys and I'm going to make a list of websites to research value so my kids can make some money I hope we both live long lives to keep collecting and enjoying these toys
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope you and your family are all doing ok.
Mmm, I've been thinking about the future of my toys, especially as I've just got a child. I'm repairing up my old stuff so they can get as much enjoyment out of them. Toys are meant to be played with, but I still can't get the idea of starting a toy museum out of my head.
I don't have kids, so it may well happen to my collection :D
Had this thought on my mind for a while everynow and then.
I have the same problem, but with various collectibles. I've decided to give all of my things to my best friend as I have no family. It worries me to no end that my stuff will wind up being sold off by scavengers.
Another good one Dave.
As someone below mentioned that they have a "Toy Will."
I have a "Sports Jersey Will" and now will take their lead, to split up more of my collections into "Wills."
Take care and stay safe.
Ps. What about leaving a couple of things to the little guy who helps you with your outdoor videos?🙂
I'm sorry to learn about your father. This is not a fun topic, but it's one that I too consider from time to time. I already try downsizing from time to time but that only gets me so far. I still have a huge collection. I think the main thing is keeping it in check so that it does not get out of hand for once that time ultimately comes. My thinking is that one day I will part with most of what I have and only keep the things that make me happiest. That way if the time comes where the collection passes to someone else to deal with it will be more manageable for them. Even if friends or relatives don't want it, I have to imagine younger collectors might. Or museums or charities that can do some good with it.
Thanks Victoria. I certainly plan to reduce my collection over the years. For now it's all fun. But it's good to have a least the outline of a plan in place. And I hope this got people thinking about it.
A very sobering thought that you ve made, one that has crossed my mind of late, I like you am not old but it seems every visit to the doctor brings up another problem that's age related. I guess we ll both just have to get motivated at one point or another and pass it on, but for now we should enjoy what we have.
P.s if the G1 Soundwave is looking for a new home I'm your man ;-)
i hope you live a long time as i enjoy your content, i also call dibs on the robocop bobblehead at 2:37
Love your collection, best wishes.
I personally would love them especially because of the efforts you put into saving them. You have helped me see the real value of toys. I also consider you a friend so till the time comes enjoy and be safe.
They will bring you back alive!
A bit of a downer of a subject. I hope when we go that what we leave behind goes to loving homes. Here’s to hoping we all have a long and healthy and happy life.
Dave, I had exactly the same experience after my Dad died a couple of years ago. Seeing the things he cared about, his tools and nick-nacks, being moved on definitely got me thinking about my collection and collecting habits. I decided to sell up while the market was good and focus on just keeping what it was that I had as a kid. I cant tell you the amount of space it has freed up. :) I have the important stuff, the stuff that makes me smile and thats enough now.
As a collector, it is something that cross your mind: what will happen to your collection when it's your time. As i grow older i will probably let go a lot of my "friends" so they will survive as long as they can and be appreciated as much as I did. I also don't want to make a burden to any of my family left behind. Right now I am the current owner but someday I will have to say goodbye and pass them on to someone else. Until then I will try to make many memories and enjoy what I have.
These are simple but powerful questions. I've been wrestling with them myself. I think you listed all the good options - have some things in your will ready, and leave some to friends, your partner, or charity, and the rest can go wherever.
It will be placed in the toy-pollo museum right next to the huge bronze statue of the man himself.
My wife has already told me she will sell all my stuff. I have a large figure collection starting with G.I. Joes I got as a kid in 1970.a lot of megos including the Enterprise bridge. I also have a bunch of model kits I've built since the 70's.I also have a large Elvis Presley original record and cd collection that started before Elvis died. I have in my garage my father's 57 Chevy Nomad that I need to get running. My wife has zero interest in any of my hobbies so if she sells it all to save the money for her and our daughter I'm fine with it.I'll be too busy being dead to notice or care.
I like the idea of donating things to charity, or perhaps to younger collectors. I’m thinking of leaving mine to my niece, as I don’t have children of my own, and much of the collection once belonged to her father anyway.
Very good video, sober and even poignant but one all collectors should consider viewing. Thanks for the upload and God bless friend.
The video has really made me think but still enjoyable 👍
Sadly, my missus will sell them for a fraction of what I paid for them...
I’m sorry to hear about your dad, Dave. My thoughts are with you and your family.
This was a bit of a depressing video but you did address something very important in regards to ones toy collection. The mere thought of your amazing collection finding its way to a landfill is depressing and horrifying. I would hope that someone in your family gets the opportunity to inherit your collection to cherish and enjoy the way you did or at the very least someone in general who appreciates toys who might not be related. Whatever the case might be I just hope that they don’t end up in the garbage. That’s just too sad of a thought. Speaking on this subject, I never put any thought in the idea of what will happen to my toy collection once I’m gone. This is something that all collectors need to consider as we all get older. Like you I need to devise a plan as to who receives and inherits my collection when I pass away. As depressing as this video was it opened my eyes to the idea of coming up with a toy-will. As always I look forward to seeing your next video! Cheers!
I like how you put that; "A toy will."
I have already made a sports jersey will and now going to take a look at the rest of my collections.
Thanks🙂
Tim 57 yeah when I was thinking about my toy collection after watching this video, it really got me thinking about putting together a toy-will. I’m glade You got a kick out of my toy-will😃
@@archangel5627
It certainly is a great idea! 😁
Thanks. It wasn't meant to depress, just to get you thinking, as this will come to us all in the end. And it's good to have a think and some ideas of what to do long before you ever need it. Cheers
Toy Polloi I’m actually glade that you addressed this in your video. Like I said before, I had never given any thought to the idea of what will happen to my toy collection once I pass. For that Mr Polloi I’m very greatful and I say thank you! Take care good sir!
Fair point about collectibles being worth a hell of a lot less once the fanbase who collected them starts dropping off. I'm a bit of a games collector myself and the games I'm nostalgic for will only hold their value amoung the age group that grew up on them. You only have to look at the majority of the atari vcs carts to realise there's no real collector value compared to the generation of games that came after them. And even the prices on those are slowly starting to come down to make way for latter gen systems. Best way to maintain a value as a nest egg is to pick up the items that are popular with kids today or a generation prior to those are going to be the hot nostalgia items that future generations are going to want to claw back (also useful that current used value is low due to those that will eventually have nostalgia for them aren't at the mid life crisis stage where they feel they have to get it back lol) . I honestly wouldn't mind seeing some restoration vids on newer toys. Hell it would give me tips on how to repair the load of paw patrol and pj masks that my destructive kids seem to ruin lol. I picked up a gen 1 buzz lightyear with the intent of repairing it after seeing Eliot at the retro future (excellent channel deffo worth a look) repair the wing deployment. I think I could do better than superglue and baking powder though.
Man I’m only 16 right now and I have been collecting hot wheels since I was 9 years old and have over 500+ cars and I ask myself that a lot, I also have lost of Levi sets and I ask myself if I die tomorrow do I leave them to my younger cousins do my parents sell them on. I’m glad to hear that in your case you want to make sure they will be cared for in a collection or a child that will enjoy them as you once did at their age.
I’m sorry to hear about your Dad, my Dad passed away three weeks ago and all doe he wasn’t completely behind me collecting at one point he did asked me what would happen to my collection if something happened to me, since I don’t have kids and the closest I have to a daughter is my niece and she doesn’t want my collection I think I just might go your way and donate it...I would prefer if someone who really values it would have it, I thought about selling it and leave the money to my niece but...I’d be missing on my collection before leaving this world...I don’t know what I’ll do 😕
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope you are doing ok. Cheers
Very well said.
Ahem...why was there no mention of establishing a museum??
Good question!🤔
Damn i feel extra old now
Cracking video matey. 👌
But I have a quick question.
What did you use on the dome of your large size r2d2??
I have bought a chrome pen but I'm struggling with the metallic blue??
And help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work squire. 👍
Interesting video, I wonder what I should do with all my diecasts (I have over 1500 cars), I think I should make some kind of plan, I'm 55 now, no idea when the grim reaper will come. The collection has more emotional value than monetary value, so I might sell off/give away those cars I'm less emotionally attached to. It would be nice if I could get the collection down to a level where I can comfortably display all the cars (maybe 500). But I have a tendency to be adding new pieces, when I venture out browsing markets and secondhand shops....collectors can be terrible hoarders....
Great video
I’m hoping to give my collection to my son and daughter, I just don’t know how to halve it 🤔
My Son never got into all the stuff i collected for him over the years since he was born to when he could play with them. He had his own interests and it was sad to just have to give away a lot of it to other family members. Well it wasn't sad... I'm sure they got plenty of happy use out of it, but there is something disappointing about not being able to share the same things I got so much happiness from with my kid. Here's something though. If things like this are kept as kinds of heirlooms, maybe a generation of nephews may really get a kick out of it ?
They will go to toy heaven.
have you ever thought about donating it in it's entirety to a toy museum so that it could be enjoyed for years to come by many different people?
Having lost my mom this past month 😞, I was going through her things, finding gifts I had given her, now coming back to me, and I realized that no one really "owns" anything in this life.
All we do is rent.
I'm sorry to hear about your Mum. Hope you are doing ok.
Thank you for that.
It's been hard.
But also it's given me much to think about. Like reassessing collecting. Or at the very least, rethink my approach to it.
You can't have it all, and you certainly can't take any of it with you.
I wonder what a good predictor of the value of Gen X toys in the future will be. Would toys from the 40s, 50s, 60s be a good indicator?
Ok. Death related question for you Dave as that’s what the video is about. Just for fun, if you could choose any toy to base a coffin on what would it be? Just thinking it would be a fitting way for a toy collector to head to the other side.
I’d prob have to choose a thundertank or some type of x wing based coffin I reckon.
Probably a Microman time capsule. Or mount me to a extra large star was backing card in a giant blister. As long as it clearly marked as a re-card of course!
This collect has to be persevered for future
God I don't even want to think about that although I have. Just the title makes me a little worried...now going to watch the video and maybe you will cheer me up?
Who is the red dragon sitting behind the skeletors? It's pretty. Stay alive man. I enjoy your videos. I imagine I am well older than you anyways.
Dragon Blaster Skeletor.
@@toypolloi Thanks! That thing is pretty! I need to find one on ebay.
What a 1derful fantastic video! A+ my friend.A true home run! (SCORE!)
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh my gosh! I had that Y-wing! My brother and I didn’t pick up our toys so our parents made us bag up all our toys and donate them; I hope they went people who enjoyed them. Not the best memory lol 😅😭
And the Cobra base.....and the G.I Joe shuttle with booster w/ the launch pad/base. 😩
We moved into a new house and inherited all the old storage and toys in the attic which were out of time and hadn’t been touched in ages. Wish I had appreciated them a whole lot more at the time but I certainly do now 🚀
I have been collecting much longer than Toy Polloi. I am starting to divest myself of my collection, which is extensive. It is absolutely NOT FAIR to burden your loved ones with what is, in the end, to 99% of the population, a bunch of junk. They have neither the expertise nor the desire to to research out what is real, and what is fake, and with TPs collection that will be a huge problem. If some of that stuff gets passed off as original then your loved ones will be dealing with that backlash as well. We should not put our loved ones in a position to try and deal with our mess. Enjoy your stuff, but get rid of it before it becomes somebody else’s nightmare. If I was Mrs Toy Polloi the whole lot would go to the local charity shop when the time comes.
I thought this was a perfect answer. I'm only in my early 40s and have already thought of this. I know it seems a bit morbid, but I have no kids and this question weighs very heavy on my head.
Thanks Dave. It is certainly something worth thinking on.
I wouldn't worry about those Star Wars toy collectors who might worry about your restored toys, because they're most likely your age too, Dave, and by the time you pass on (which I hope will be many, many years from now), they probably won't even have their collections any more, having cashed-in on them. I don't think that the type of collector who worries about monetary value has the same level of attachment to toys as collectors who just collect for the love of toys, so--yeah. Don't lose any sleep over it at all. They only care about their investment, and that far down the road, the will have sold their figures and toys, or will be too old to care anymore anyway.
I was wondering the same thing, my plan is to do a Free Museum of toys and action figures, so they will be entretaining childs even if im not here anymore, and maybe some of those childs will be a future collector ;)
Sounds like a good idea. There could be a lot of small museums popping up all over the place.
From my point of view, what we want is going to be immaterial when we each die. Do your best now, to not leave a burden on someone you care about.
They really are concerned about your collection aren't they? Might better worry about their own instead.
Easy money.
Brad gets the Halloween collection.
Denise gets the Star Wars collection.
Matthew gets the Batman collection.
Ugh I have no idea who'll get the Universal Monsters collection.
But I'll be buried with my GI JOES. 😉
This isn't to do with toys but it is to do with collections. My uncle was the recipient of all the uniforms, medals and decommissioned weapons from my great grandfather and my grandfather's war effort. I always loved collecting militaria but never had the chance to own something as significant. I hope that whoever receives these toys afterwards understands who it was who owned them previous and the story behind them
