Hi everyone, a couple of weeks ago we were at the New Jersey Toy Soldier Show. There were around 70 tables set up. They had some vintage toys, historical items, models and military books besides the toy soldiers.
We will start with Eddie Gries tables. He usually has a bunch of vintage toy soldiers. Both plastic and metal.
Here are some of the books available at the show. Mainly Osprey books.
Matt Murphy of Hobby Bunker was there. He and Joe had a whole row of tables set up with just about everything the toy soldier hobby is made of. I picked up a few Toy Soldier Collector magazines from him.
Here are some random pictures of different tables.
Here are some of the military items available to purchase.
Here are some of the models available at the show. There were more tables set up like this at the show.
Some more random pictures of different tables.
Here are some pictures I took of the show about an hour after the doors opened. The show was busy the first hour & a half, then it died.

There were also a bunch of die cast tanks and vehicles at the show too.
Plus, some foam terrain foam pieces too.
Here are some pictures of the vintage or collectible toys for sale.
Here are some pictures of some nice old toy soldiers.
Here are my tables set up for the show. We have started putting most of the sets in boxes. I will still have some items in the plastic bags with the header card. We had a nice time talking to collectors and looking around. I saw a few rare items and there were some good deals. We will be back next year.
Here are some of the toy soldiers I picked up. I picked up the W. Britian German Paratrooper for $30. The Airfix Indians was $8, and the lot of vintage plastic figures was $4.
The next Show Eddie has is on December 7th, in Annandale, Virginia. There will be numerous shows next year in New Jersey & Virginia.
That is, it for the show. I will be adding some items to the website in a day or two. I will have some news in a future post. Thank you for reading.
