    I swear John has the attitude, the smile, and the eyes of a 11 years old kid having the time of his life. ^^ Never stop playing and having fun people. You'll stay young.

    These videos are awesome. They take me back to my childhood and traveling with my parents in upstate New York. Finding cool little shops like these in the quest for toy soldiers. I remember buying a cool set of lead soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga. They weren't intended to be toys, but I was 12 years old so.... I hope you make it to the Marx Toy Museum (if you haven't aready done it...I'm new). Subscribed

    I noticed there were very few kits relating to popular culture franchises like Star Wars, Warhammer 40K, Gundam and Dungeons and Dragons.
    I think this is a good thing though, stick to your guns. I like how this store is maintaining an old traditional toy soldier store style.
    Those pop culture brands are well covered by other stores.

    Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I enjoy. I'm autistic and have the mind of a 14 year old boy. I only get peanuts in my current job, most my spare cash goes on my army men collection. I used to think I was odd for still being into army men toys, until I had a YT channel. I have literally thousands by now, I'm getting some lead soldiers when I have the money, each figure costs £4.99!
