    Plastic Army Men

    Anyone here collect Plastic Army Men, Cowboys and Indians, Firemen etc.?
    Just scored a nice haul someone was getting rid of on craigslist.
    Also,I just scored some nice ones from a dollar store but I also scored some crappy ones that snapped in half at another dollar store.
    They seem to be harder to find nowdays as the ones I find tend to not nearly be as good as older ones from the 60's,70's,80's.

    I was going to say that I don't collect them, but I guess I really do since I have them. Let's say I don't actively look for them or try to aquire them, but I have several really old ones.

    Years ago I used to buy up huge lots of Action Man stuff from the UK and I kept finding plastic army men mixed in with the parts. I liked them because they were a little more detailed and unusual from the ones I had as a kid, so I started keeping them and doing research on them. Turns out that some of them are kinda rare. I have a couple of Germans, Brits, and French from WWI, and a few from WWII era as well. I have a few Marx play set soldiers & cowboys also.
