But by age 10 I was getting interested in history, and in 1973 for Christmas that year I got the Heritage Blue and Gray set. My brother got the "Sons of Liberty" set. Then later birthdays and Christmas's I got The Alamo, WWII "Battleground", and Fort Apache. My last set was the huge "Navarone" set with the big plastic mountain.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274765171928331053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-61461389166203063782014-06-18T03:36:19.835-07:002014-06-18T03:36:19.835-07:00It is in ɑ man's genes to want to get back wha...It is in ɑ man's genes to want to get back what thеy have lost and if he can't contaϲt <br />you, he wіll become as desperatе ɑs you were.<br />It gave me something to look forward to, a purpose.<br />Learn ƴour thinking, your desires, feelings and preferences.<br /><br /><br />Have a look at my blog post ... <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/makehimdesireyoufreedownload/" rel="nofollow">Make Him Desire You Free Download</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-25334129419316430062013-04-29T05:49:32.371-07:002013-04-29T05:49:32.371-07:00Remarkable things here.

I'm looking to start my own blog in the <br />near future but I'm having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

Usually it is caused by the fire displayed in the <br />article I browsed. And on this article "Forgotten Books: Marx Western Playsets - The Authorized Guide".<br />I was excited enough to post a thought :-) I actually do have some questions for you <br />if you usually do not mind.

My Rin Tin Tin had the 60mm figures, different from the ones you show, but I had those in my Fort Pitt. Rarer than Lucas McCain is Mark McCain holding a rifle. <br />The tin suitcase that folded into a fort was done as a frontier cavalry post, a castle, and either Cape Canaveral or Cape Kennedy. Oddly enough, I don't own this book. It goes for big bucks now.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-31300104638244795072011-04-15T08:56:09.432-07:002011-04-15T08:56:09.432-07:00When this showed up in my Google reader this morni...When this showed up in my Google reader this morning my head about exploded.

I don't remember any TV ads for them, or magazine ads, or anything. They were completely off my radar.<br /><br />At one point I had a few green plastic G.I. soldiers, presumably WWII figures, that got played with some and then probably lost in the dirt or sand someplace. Mostly I just played with toy cars and trucks, I guess, or marbles. I never imagined there were these whole figures-in-a-scene sets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-47198370676294811362011-04-15T08:11:55.016-07:002011-04-15T08:11:55.016-07:00Holy Mackerel!

Bartending guides? I think I'll do that next week.<br /><br />This also reminds me of some action figures I had ages ago also maade by Marx: Johnny West and Chief Comanche. I remember using the horses as models when I was trying to learn how to draw them. Bet those are wroth a pretty penny on the toy collector's market now. But...long gone.

Most looked a lot like the Rin Tin Tin set pictured here. Some of the later ones came in a tin suitcase that opened to form the fort.<br /><br />Cap'n Bob knows all, sees all and has all, George.<br /><br />The Roy Rogers and Civil War sets were each issued 24 times, so there are many variations. And the Alamo was done 19 times.

My Fort Apache had no mention of Roy Rogers but the set was pretty much the same. I remember those corner lookout towers that slid into place. I had an Alamo one too but there was no Fess Parker -- on that one the fencing looked a little different. The Alamo, as I remember, was all metal. Fort Apache had a plastic fence and a metal building. There was also a Revolutionary war set and a Gettysburg set. My army men were the same as the ones in your photos.<br /><br />As time went by, all the sets mingled together in a big box with some knights, some WWII army men and some Micronauts and the whole living room turned into one Time-bending war. Extra buildings and bridges were supplied by Lincoln Logs.<br /><br />I wonder if my sister still has any of this stuff. My nephew is the last kid I saw playing them. He's 27 now so it's unlikely.Dan_Lufthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096055160420981482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-27311650024808015342011-04-15T06:08:16.278-07:002011-04-15T06:08:16.278-07:00Has Cap'n Bob seen this?Has Cap'n Bob seen this?Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-52928048187520055502011-04-15T05:32:37.211-07:002011-04-15T05:32:37.211-07:00Evan, You shot a memory back because I had Playset...Evan, You shot a memory back because I had Playset as well but I'll be hanged if I remember which one.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.com
