We just got a nice game shipment in!

Also in the shipment were new Battletech and Dungeons & Dragon Miniatures.

Greetings from the London Toy Soldier Show on June 24th. This is my pal Stefano from Saimex Toy Soldiers in Italy.

Here is picture of our booth with Joe chatting with customers. In true Hobby Bunker fashion we brought too much stuff! We sold quite a few things and I was able to fill up my suitcases with lots of goodies from Tommy Atkins and Little Legion.

Blake from Thomas Gunn, Sven from Last Post and Joe and I managed to hoist a few pints after the show.

Cheers!

We got to check out some Ancient History at the British Museum. Lots of great artifacts. Too bad it had no air conditioning....it was hot in there.

THOMAS GUNN MINIATURES

All new 1/30 Scale World War II Germans just announced Plus a few Roman ladies!

New Gunn

Here is something different:

Mati Hari (August 7, 1876 - October 15, 1917), Myths, Legends, and Biblical--single d.ancer figure posing on plinth

Games Workshop

Although I am sure it was not as cool as their HQ in Nottingham it was great to check the store. Lots of great displays and painted minis.

The store is several minutes away from the British Museum by foot.

Between my father's shop and mine I have been selling Games Workshop for nearly 40 years. I was like 10 when the first shipment arrived in my Dad's Arlington shop. Of course I had to have the them!
