Hi,

A couple years ago I got my dad's K&L line of ACW figures (later Thomas Figures) that he used to create dioramas with. Anyway, I'm wanting to covert these to game (probably Fire and Fury), but don't quite have enough and although there are other lines out there that are close I can supplement with, I was wondering if there might be some out there still I can get my hands on.

Thanks!

I love these old figures. They still make up part of my ACW officer corp.

I picked most of mine up from Gilbert's hobby in Gettysburg (now long gone).

I've seen some on eBay recently and recall that they are still available by mail order.

I'm currently away from my notes, but perhaps someone else may still have their contact info available.

That would be great if they are still mail order. I even have the original order book, but I don't believe the address is still valid and haven't seen much else for them. So any information would be great. I really like these minis too, I did pick up a Columbiad from the line on ebay not too long ago.

The address I have for them is: K&L Miniatures, PO Box 52281, Tulsa, OK 74137.

Sadly, the owner died a few years ago. I don't know if his wife plans on continuing the business or not.

Thanks! And bummer about the owner! I'll try to reach out and see I can find out. Thanks again!

My memory is that his wife didn't want to sell or continue the business. Someone I know approached her to see if she would like to sell but with no result. I would be surprised (but delighted) if they are available again.

Okay, good to know as well. I'll just always keep an eye on ebay or just fill the ranks with other minis!
