 I do question several statements that Barszo got a special figure because he has done so much for the hobby ?   Really ?  Well he is gone now.

Hope all who attend had a good time and picked up items to fill their collections .

General Stuff

The Chicago Show is just about here.

It will be Ron Barszo's swan song.  His last playset and he is reportedly calling it quits

LOD Enterprises will be there with its group of new figures that are featured in Ron's playset

Also LOD may have their Christmas set

Paragon, TSSD, and Steve Weston will not be there.

There will still be loads of items for all the collectors.

Have a good time

LOD Releases

The LOD  AWI releases which will be part of Barszo .last playset should be here shortly.  This month maybe?

Nice to see Paragon and LOD release sets with a fair amount of figures and poses at a decent price.

Redundency

Redundancy is not a crime  At least I don't think so.  It can be boring.  However sometimes it is spawned by the fact no valid answer is brought forth for a politely asked question.  Of course they can be actually be thinly veiled complaints. 

Paragon

Paragon released their new Plains Indian Sioux at the 2018 Texas Show.  I don't do reviews discussing authenticity, undercuts, molding etc.  I leave that to the old and new self proclaimed experts.

These are after all TOYS.  To me i find they are great. They are also a great value at $28 a set unlike the prices the Russians have been hitting us with

So check them out I think you will like them.

New Release PARAGON

Paragon released their new Plains Indian Set at the Texas Show

I dont do reviews on scale, weapons, under cuts etc.  Look to some of the old and new self proclaimed experts for that.  They are a to ME a great set and a great value ($28) compared to the prices Russian makers are hitting us with.
