It’s been a couple of weeks since the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show. I finally found some time to do a review. It was a rainy day, but the crowds were nice in the beginning. That lasted to around noon and then everyone started to trickle out. Our sales were down, but we still did good. Others said they had a slow day. There were plenty on nice products and some good deals.

I spent most of the day talking to fellow collectors. I did not get a chance to look around until the end and took some pictures. As usual there was plenty of plastic. But there were enough new and old painted metal soldiers too.

I think these pictures were taken from Eric Kohl’s tables. He usually has antique metal and some modern toy soldiers.

There were some collectors selling custom & vintage playsets, John Jenkins & Conte soldiers without the boxes and some with them. Plus, military uniform items for reenactors or just to have in your collection.

Talking about collectors. There were plenty of them selling off parts of their collections. One gentleman that was across from us had some nice items.

Plenty of storage containers to search through. Some nice foam pieces and lots of tanks around.

As usual Rick Eber had plenty of nice vintage toy soldiers and playsets with him.

Another vendor had a bunch of vintage plastic toy soldiers and playsets.

Matt from Hobby Bunker had part of his store with him.

One collector had some really nice toy soldiers to pick through.

Rob Hornung had his custom made & painted toy soldiers with him. Some really unique items.

Here are more random pictures of different products that were available. As I go through the pictures there are a few things that I had missed that I wished I had picked up.

It was nice to meet Paul Knapp again. He had some really nice custom themed playset boxes with him at a good price. Plus, the nice custom-made terrain pieces with him. I picked up a couple from him. In my next post I will take some pictures of them and some other stuff that I have found recently.

More random pictures.

Rick Lipp had some nice vintage products with him.

Another collector had a bunch of vintage Airfix toy soldiers and other brands for sale.

Larry Lovely had plenty of toy soldiers to pick through.

Mark Hegeman also had some really nice vintage toys with him.

Nate had some great custom-made toys too.

Paul Stadinger and Erwin Sells setup at the show this year. The last time Paul setup was about 20 years ago. They had a lot of plastic and Erwin brought a bunch of tanks.

Steve Connell had some nice metal sets for sale.

There was a collector selling a bunch of Warhammer miniatures. One day I will paint my Warhammer armies.

We will end the review with our tables. I had a few new products with me. The medieval Saxons & Vikings were popular; we sold them all. There are more medieval Saxons, Vikings, Normans and Peasants that will be available later this year.

We do not plan on attending any other shows this year. Right now, we have to many things going on to commit to anymore. We are searching to buy a house and hopefully we will be moved before the end of the fall. There will be a lapse in production again this year, but the designing will continue. There is a lot more to come. That is it for now. Thank you for reading.
