I think that CTS reissued these a few years ago, and they can still be found on ebay frequently. It is made from the original Marx molds but comes without the essential mousetrap-style activating unit.
Frequently, when I go to the twice-yearly Gettysburg toy soldier show, I see these spring-loaded activators for sale at very reasonable prices, and with minimal filing and fitting you can install them into the house.
When a projectile hits the front door, the whole thing "explodes" in a very satisfying manner.
They also paint-up very nicely. You may remember this Greek cafe from the Navarone scenario. Several Nazi officers met their doom while sipping strong coffee on that morning.
It's a nice day to get outdoors.
Soldier on!
