I think it is great what you are doing. I have my 8 year old and my 11 year old into toy soldiers quite a bit. I paint them up and stuff, and they really enjoy them.<br /><br />I used to mostly have green army men and plastic dinosaurs (perfect mix) as a kid. Now I see so many "kits" on the market. Very cool!JohnnyRocketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148411426159287076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136289990566725685.post-50398573643523103942011-02-15T20:09:54.516-08:002011-02-15T20:09:54.516-08:00It is great to see a kid playing with something th...It is great to see a kid playing with something that doesn't have a joystick controller or take batteries. My BMC sets were purchased so I could play with my boys without risking my old Marx figures. But the boys are off to college. Guess the brave men of BMC will have to wait for the next generation.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199952872438134220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136289990566725685.post-41283760514486630972011-02-14T04:29:49.985-08:002011-02-14T04:29:49.985-08:00Mannie,

My daughter of course only wanted girly stuff. At least both of them left my soldier shelves alone even as toddlers. <br /><br />I had the soldier LEGOS with an 1812 army and a Civil War army that went on eBay last summer. A hard drive crash lost all the photos of them.Scott B.
