This can not be true. I have more than that just in my basement as do most of you all. link |

I think I have more than that in 15mm Napoleonics |

There must be something in the "official definition" for "toy soldiers" that precludes the objects of our favorite money pit/hobby. NO DUPLICATES is quite a feat – are any of your 15mm Nap's duplicates? Then they don't count.  |

Well, if I had one of each code all painted up and based I could probably at least come close. Of course if you don't allow people to have more than one of each figure. Actually, there was a fellow at the club who was moving to the area and had 20,000 +/- painted and based. Of course that would presumably include a lot of duplicates. |

I could send him maybe 200 more individual figures that is if you want 15mm napoleoic |

I had thought that Malcolm Forbes had the largest toy soldier collection in the world. I remember seeing pictures from the museum he had built to show them. I know a few toy soldier collectors who do not look at wargame figures as actual "toy soldiers", which always makes me go "Hmmmmmm?" |

I have a very large collection of old Minifigs. If people thought of them as toy soldiers I would have a very small collection of old Minifigs. Reason? They would cost too much. |

But the uniforms are painted on in the correct colors. Oooh🙄 |

I find it sad that the collector did not set up the figures by era. You have ACW mixed with Napoleonic, Zulu, AWI and so on. Not a gamer then. |

I imagine he is the record holder because most people don't know there is such a thing. I'll have to check into the definitions and requirements when I have time. I find it hard to believe that many folks don't have the record holder beat. |

Copy that,79th PA and others. It is only a record because our TMP friends aren't being having their miniatures counted. Perhaps some should start counting now and defeat that silly record. |

Well the kid's record hasn't made it to the Guinness World Records site yet, but I think they key word is "different". They may also say that a toy soldier must be 1/35?

The collection of the late Orson Munn is said to be over 10,000 classic Britains, and its still in his families' possession as far as I know. |
