THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY.... QUANTITES ARE LIMITED

May 27, 2008
In cleaning the warehouse and storage units I've been reminded of how large our collection
of plastic figures made by other manufacturers really is & have decided to 'thin the herd' by
selling about 1/2 of what we have direct to Conte collectors.
We have tens of thousands of rare (and not so rare) plastic or resin figures made by others
which we want to share with our loyal Conte customers rather than placing these items on
ebay or advertising them in toy soldier magazines. We may sell some of them via these
avenues but wanted to give Conte loyalists first chance at buying .
We aren't 'just talking' the usual reissued Marx or reissued Timpo or the especially poorly
done reissued Britains Deetail soldiers......WE ARE SELLING ORIGINALS......MOST FROM
THE 1960'S AND 1970'S IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.
We have Timpo Romans, Vikings, Crusaders, Knights , Arabs, Cowboys, Indians, 7th Cavalry
by the hundreds.......(hundreds of each). We also have huge numbers of Britains Swoppets
American Civil War, Revolutionary War, Knights and even some English Civil
War.........HERALD Trojans, 7th Cavalry, etc.......Britains Deetail we have large stocks of
original early first run issues of just about everything they made from WW2 to ACW to
Knights/Turks to Foreign Legion/Arabs to Napoleonic to Mexican Bandits to 7th Cavalry. We
also have loads of Timpo and Britains and Marx vehicles, wagons, buildings.........
The same goes for Marx....for Accurate..for Barzso (we have multiple mint unopened sets of
most of the Barzso playsets and figure sets which are now sold out). We also have loads of
Matchbox, Airfix, and even some Atlantic Ancient figures.
Also being sold will be about 1/2 of our sizeable fleet of Remco Big Caesars ......
Elastolin/Preiser we have in both 40 mm and 70 mm scale with Romans, Vikings and Knights
in large quantities. We also have such rarities as Huns and Janissaries and Revolutionary
war...we have some siege equipment...etc
Accurate Figures( some of which RC co-designed) are also here in all sorts of rare colors.
We will gradually be adding to our postings /listings as we have time to go through
hundreds and hundreds of boxes so (a) please be patient, and (b) check back from time to
time as we will be adding new items as time allows.
Please email or fax if you are looking for anything special in the world of plastic...chances are
we might have some ...and we'd be glad to share with you. If you want something in large
quantity we'll even make an effort to find these items earlier in our search....
Prices will be posted with each item as we list same. Rest assured that prices will be below
what is currently being charged by others in the industry. We don't like collectors being
taken advantage of and hope that our release of large numbers of plastic figures into the
market will help to bring some really ridiculous industry prices down. As only one example,
we have seen one dealer selling all six poses of original issue mounted Deetail figures for
$240(for the six). We'll more likely be in the range of $80 to $90 for these same 6
mounted figures. Timpo Romans I've seen selling for $15 to $20 for a foot figure at 3
dealers...we'll be in the $10 range..and so on..........as always doing our best for our fellow
collectors!

Single Color Pewter Figures At Last Available!!!!
Perfect For Plastics Collectors & For Metal Collectors Wanting An "Unpainted" Casting.
ACW...Alamo..WW2...Vikings/Saxons.....
In sorting the warehouse, we have found a limited number of single color fine pewter figures
which were used in some of our playsets in the past. FOR THE 1ST & ONLY TIME we are
offering some of these sets directly to you as individual pieces or sets......in other words, they
are available outside and separate from the playsets ......you don't have to buy the playsets to
acquire these ,,,so if you always wanted these figures but couldn't or didn't buy the larger
playsets...NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to acquire these elusive figures.........
These have been requested for years by plastic collectors who didn't have room for the huge
playsets and by metal collectors who wanted to "paint your own metal figures". None of these
poses have been produced in plastic........this is the only way we are going to make these.
The figures listed below are all made of fine pewter and are painted a single color to match the
color of our plastic ranges which they were designed to go with. For metal collectors wanting to
paint their own figures, the single color is effectively a primer coat. By single color we mean--as
examples-- the Confederates are a rich gray which matches our plastic Confederates....Alamo
defenders a tan....Mexican Army a light blue.....WW2 Airborne a khaki...etc........Mounted Figures
have single color figures, single color horses and a base which is usually green. As an example
Robert E. Lee is gray, the horse is a white/gray and the base is green. If you are trying to figure
out the colors look at our plastic sets which these went with...we will try to post pictures in the
near future........for reference purposes now we have provided a link to the PAINTED pewter set
(when possible) which matches these or are the same poses. We've listed all sets which we used
in playsets..unfortunately some already appear to have sold out. We've listed them anyhow in
case you are trying to track them down for your collection--you'll know what to look for....
(Single color Resin figure sets from playsets have not yet been reviewed s please don't call and
ask us about them. We may make some of these sets available after we determine inventory
levels and future playset needs.)
The prices for each are listed below and do not include shipping. I should add that the prices
we've listed are for fine pewter figures, NOT less expensive lead castings, and that all figures are
fully assembled. The point here is that we are charging less than the industry norm for a 54mm
unassembled 'kit' made of lead or cheap alloy. Figure are generally packed in boxes, wrapped in
tissue and protected by foam...some sets are in 'clamshells"....all nicely packaged.
If you want these, please order.....some we only have a few of and when they are gone they are
truly gone. "intro" prices will be discontinued at our discretion as the inventory dwindles and
higher prices put in place.
Please call early if you want to add these to your collection; in some cases we have as few as
twenty four sets.......I hope that our releasing these figures individually will allow many many
more of you to add these figures to your collections!
Hail Ragnar!
