Another AWESOME T shirt my man! So thrilled you put those out!!! I like the double tank trap- that is actually pretty unique- cant say I have ever seen that before.
Nice one. Cheers Jerry. TIMPO Swoppets were my favourite toys, when I was between the ages of 4 and 8. Cowboys, Indians, Cavalry, Confederates. I had the Fort, the City, the Locomotive and Carriages Set, Covered Waggons, Stage Coach, Tee Pees, Cannon... And I still have them all. The WW2 stuff didn't appeal to me at the time. However, this episode has reminded me that I was gifted a cheap knock off this set, Made by Cherileara. Oh dear, it was not very good.
I remember just having some of the basic cheap army figures when I was a kid. I never knew stuff like this even existed until I found your channel a few months ago
Same for me back then. A bunch of loose soldiers bought and traded with friends. I eventually got to buy a couple of 1/32 sets but never any playsets. Don´t think I ever saw one in a store in Sweden.
love your channel! I have some similar german Soldier my Parent Buy for me at Santiago de Chile and I remember they also have removing Helmets. As I Kid it was like woooh!
great set! i had loads of Timpo as a kid, mainly wild west stuff, cowboys, indians, 7th cavalry, the knights and crusaders castle(still got that) that german minus his helmet made me laugh, he looked like he was headless!
Hi Jerry, I just saw your video. I live in Mexico City. I have previously commented on other videos, also collecting plastic soldiers of various brands, as well as accessories such as vehicles, weapons, and more.
The multiple colors technique is called OVERMOULDING. It's done by injecting different colored plastics on top of the other. It's very complex and because of costs, it's mostly forgotten. The Britains Deetail COMMANDOS and HOSPITAL CREW (and most Britains civilian figures) use this method. According to Roy Selwyn-Smith, it was like magic
@@Panzerleute9 I think Timpo was the king of over moulding. The best figures ever with that technique are the 7th Cavalry "White gloves". Those are possibly the rarest and most expensive of the Timpo series
Que bueno esta ese Set de Soldaditos !!! ❤ , y la lámina que viene también , excelente , Saludos desde 🇦🇷 , un colega de Canal de Soldaditos de Plástico 👋🍷🍷🇦🇷
Jerry, that’s a fantastic find as a child. I had the stagecoach and the cowboy town with different buildings the saloon the hotel. Ect the good thing about them they had actual guns that you could replace heads come off scarfs they were the cheaper version but they were a lot of fun. I didn’t know they made this World War II set. The artwork looks like some child has done it but it’s cool.😊
So cool. When I was young I used to play with toy soldiers alot but really small ones, like 2cm tall (I believe it was 1/72 scale but not sure) Late 70s early 80s in the Netherlands, my family and I used to go our caravan at a camping site during summer break and in a village close by there would be this bazaar every Tuesday. They sold all kinds of stuff there and also alot of military gear and toys. They sold these bags with a something like 300 toy soldiers and 2 or 3 vehicles inside like tanks and jeeps and airplanes like stuka's and spitfires. Every year my dad bought me a couple of those bags and I ended up with HUGE armies hehe. I had them all sorted by country like German, US, British and had them stored in plastic containers. When I was around 12 my parents got divorced and we stopped going to the camping. My dad ended up selling the place and that's how I lost it all. Man I used to play for hours and hours with that stuff.
Also, once you set it up, I think it looks really really good in 1972 I was five years old if you had given me this for Christmas, I would’ve been over the moon . What we forget as adults you might think oh that’s not very good, but you’ve got to take your mind back to your childhood when you were five or six years old you would’ve loved it. We were laughing at the kid on the display box in a shirt and tie very 70s. lol thanks for showing enjoyed the video keep them coming, please DSM uk 🇬🇧
loved these collected Britains when I was a kid... then after the sas and marines sets came out they vanished... timpo soldiers I saw a few and liked them a lot but never saw sets ever.... wish i was a kid again lol Id grab em all
Wouldn't want to mix the coloured and regular soldiers together - but - I love the set, it would work as the next step on from the Beach Head Landing, almost part 2 of the story. I had one of the tents (without the door/opening) but it had a red cross roundel on it - worked well with the medical team covered in your earlier vid (I'm convinced my book holding figure was wearing a cross - making him a vicar - but I would bet against my memory). I like the set, but not the figures - that happened back in the day, but you made do. Most of my 'play sets' were toilet rolls and empty cartons. Imagination is the king of joy.
I remember back in 1979 I got a playset based on the battle of Anzio can't remember who made it saw it in Zayres during Christmas time and man did it come with a lot! Play sheet (which I didn't use) barbed wire rolls German soldiers (some where posed to be dead!) same with the American soldiers ,tanks, bunkers , cannons, trees stretchers, stretcher bearers ECT. Played all summer in the backyard with that set! Fun times
Great set. I had some of these back around 1978 I would guess. Mine came with 2 tanks, 1 grey for the Germans and 1 green for the Americans. I believe both were actually Chieftains. No idea what happened to them.
Hi Gerry, I have been awaiting you to review this set as I owned it as a child and spent many happy hours playing with it, but I have to say the Bren gun APCs were a part of the original set as I remember them clearly. Unless there were different iterations of this set they were shipped with my playset circa~ 1975, Joe (a fan of your channel)
It´s realy hard to find info on these old sets online. What I could find is that they were not included but that could be the wrong info as there´s only a few photos that I can find on Google. I need to do more research on this set :)
Funny I was trying to find photos myself before you reviewed as I was enjoying your other playset reviews and I was unable to, from memory this was brought from a 1970s catalogue like Kay’s or John Noble.

I remember seeing this set, one of my friends must have had it because I can remember those walls amd the German soldiers that used to fall to bits.
WELL DONE VIDEO SIR,NICE KIT FOR IT DAY,THE TIMPOS FIGURES THEY SOLD OVER HERE IN THE STATES WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.THE BODIES CAME IN TWO PARTS AND THE HELMETS AND WEAPONS CAME LOOSE.YOU MIGHT STILL ABLE TO FIND THEM ON LINE. TAKE CARE
I like the 1970's Magic Marker box art. Looks like a rough sketch shown to the client and they thought "sod it, that's good enough... print it" 😂 An M-16 with brown furniture is probably meant to be and AR-10?
Hello Jerry from Malta. I love your channel. Such nostalgia! Tell me, did you not get the ESCI 1:72 diorama sets in Sweden in the 70s/80s? You never seem to refer to them... maybe you know of them but are not a fan. I used to love them, especially because of their cool box art.
I´m not sure if they were sold in Sweden. I would love to have them but they are more scale model dioramas then toy soldier playsets. I would have to build and paint them to realy see what thay were all about.
@@toysoldiernostalgia You're absolutely right! Keep up the good work... your enthusiasm and presentation style is infectious... every clip is like Christmas eve :-) I will contact you soon to let you know what I have that might interest you... last year I bought a bunch of old Airfix stuff from the late 70s from the older brother of my best friend and some of it is not really my thing (any more). As for your collection, if you have an extra Matchbox Counter Attack set for sale I would be interested in buying it. Good wishes!
@@MrColinFitz sorry to say that I only have one Counter Attack. Just missed one on Ebay in France that was mint on sprue. Just can´t justify that cost at the moment getting a second one (Christmas around the corner and all that). You can always contact me on the channel email: toysoldiernostalgia@gmail.com Cheers
I had a few different varieties of Timpo toys back in the day. Looks like someone has explained the Timpo soldiers how they're made. Never seen any sets like this. I agree as a kid when you seen these soldiers and military vehicles were very exciting toys. That was my favorites back then toy soldiers followed by vehicles all sort and Aircraft models that became most interesting. Still is. I do love toys just as much as I did in 1970s. I missed lots of good toys. Love your videos as always. Great classic toys. I know I'd be blown away by such a large scale collection. I have a large collection of model kits mostly Aircraft but I'm starting to think I have equal collection of other than Aircraft. Good show as usual. Christmas would be very nice for you guys. I'm sweltering here in Australia at this moment. Not much of a Christmas for me unfortunately.😨😰🥵😫😩😣🇭🇲🦘✌️👋👍
The gun at the lower right looks like a german 98K. Very bad art compared to Matchbox. Not just the box but the playmat is amateurish as well. The walls look cool, other than that it looks pretty trash. The trees look like they could be from a savannah set. Very african looking. I used to love the Timpo cowboys and indians where you could swap out pieces and they had lose guns. Those were fantastic.
@@toysoldiernostalgia Didn't like the guns, too plasticy and toylike. For a toy. sandbags look like log cabins. I forgot about their knights! My favorite knights for sure! Those crusaders!!
Great set! My favorite were the Atlantic Wargame sets that came out in the late 1970's to early 1980's. They were pretty highly detailed non toxic plastic. I had them all, Stalingrad, Battle of the Bulge, el Alamein, and another one I don't remember. I miss those days!
ok mister yes you fun ..with vintage 1970 .. in italy impossible find the product 1970 you are collectionist atlantic airfix ...yes i see your report ..very fun for 55 old age child ..very well..matchbox ..procuction ok age 1975... you find the buffalo plane or kit airfix in blu or sky blu in trasparent box ? quality airfix superior atlantic ..but you consider the price 1970 economy italy in lira ...the pound in uk..situations old 50 yers ago
What struck me was the horrible shirt and tie the poor child on the box had to wear, 70s fashion was disgusting, my mum used to dress me in a similar fashion, I have had a phobia of brightly coloured clothes ever since. LOL 😁
When i was a kid my parents were heavy smokers and used boxes of those matchsticks to light their ciggies and once used made ideal artillery ammunition.An endless supply!Friendly tip tho folks don’t smoke!🪖🪖🪖
Jerry, that’s a fantastic find as a child. I had the stagecoach and the cowboy town with different buildings the saloon the hotel. Ect the good thing about them they had actual guns that you could replace heads come off scarfs they were the cheaper version but they were a lot of fun. I didn’t know they made this World War II set. The artwork looks like some child has done it but it’s cool.😊
Love watching this, I was born in 1971 and was very VERY lucky to have had airfix pontoon bridge set
TIMPO "Swoppets", Multi-Colour Injection moulded, made to interchange torsos/ tops & legs/ bottoms, to create various poses.
Great episode!!!
Great video, they always make me smile like I am a kid again. Thank you for posting
Thanks man.
Your videos takes me down memory lane in a feelgood way.....thanks !! Cheers from Norway
Cheers dude!
Timpo had some very cool accessories with their sets. Great find as always!
WOW another great set, the well of plastic soldiers I never had is deep....Thankyou for another revisit to my younger self here in Scotland.
Glad I could bring some happy memories. Getting all these old sets is like a walk down memory lane.
I loved the old spring loaded artillery. Back before health and safety started worrying about you shooting your siblings eyes out! 😉
Awesome toy set🤗
Another AWESOME T shirt my man! So thrilled you put those out!!! I like the double tank trap- that is actually pretty unique- cant say I have ever seen that before.

The WW2 stuff didn't appeal to me at the time. However, this episode has reminded me that I was gifted a cheap knock off this set, Made by Cherileara. Oh dear, it was not very good.
What an awesome set, these look like the sort of thing I would buy if I came across it in a second hand shop!!!!
I remember just having some of the basic cheap army figures when I was a kid. I never knew stuff like this even existed until I found your channel a few months ago
Same for me back then. A bunch of loose soldiers bought and traded with friends.
I eventually got to buy a couple of 1/32 sets but never any playsets.
Don´t think I ever saw one in a store in Sweden.
I have never seen this before and I was 12 in 1972 and would have loved this. Didn't even know Timpo made WW2 figures.
Very rare... Very cool. Great find👍
I use love the Timpo figures when I was young. The German soldier with the mp40 was my favourite 😁. good times
Hi from the UK. I had this set. It was a great toy with lots of replay factor. I had the bren carrier too
Hey man. Kinda jealous as I think I would have realy liked this as a kid.
love your channel! I have some similar german Soldier my Parent Buy for me at Santiago de Chile and I remember they also have removing Helmets. As I Kid it was like woooh!
Thank you for this video for your Spanish-speaking followers. Greetings from Mexico City.
Did you see it with spanish dub?
great set! i had loads of Timpo as a kid, mainly wild west stuff, cowboys, indians, 7th cavalry, the knights and crusaders castle(still got that) that german minus his helmet made me laugh, he looked like he was headless!
Hi Jerry, I just saw your video. I live in Mexico City. I have previously commented on other videos, also collecting plastic soldiers of various brands, as well as accessories such as vehicles, weapons, and more.
I love what little I saw of Mexico. A few drunk days across the border from Cali to Tijuana. This was back in the early 90s.

Great, thanks for the info. I realy need to get up to speed on Timpo.
Over moulding was used on the Timpo Romans, Knights and Crusaders which came out in the mid Sixties.
@@Panzerleute9 I think Timpo was the king of over moulding. The best figures ever with that technique are the 7th Cavalry "White gloves". Those are possibly the rarest and most expensive of the Timpo series
Looks a great layout, brings back so many memories.
Yup. Still looking for the three of the four lost Super Deetail commando poses.....
Que bueno esta ese Set de Soldaditos !!! ❤ , y la lámina que viene también , excelente , Saludos desde 🇦🇷 , un colega de Canal de Soldaditos de Plástico 👋🍷🍷🇦🇷
God bless you for all the memories. I had this. Should be around 5-6 years and now I am 50 😀
So when you were in your 40s?
this has .just reminded me ,had the Timpo .How the West was won set,Based on the Richard Boone T.V .Mini series!
Great video brings back memories 👍
Nice set❤

The Timpo Wild West is their best I think. Had two wagons and a bunch of figures.
Now I want to collect them all but they are so expensive.
So cool.
When I was young I used to play with toy soldiers alot but really small ones, like 2cm tall (I believe it was 1/72 scale but not sure)

Man I used to play for hours and hours with that stuff.
Must have been great summers. Just a lot of play and no school or anything to distract.
Hello from the UK. I have a few Timpo figures around the place.
Which ones?
A good set to play with! But best of all: The boy on the box! What kind of shirt is this? Oh Man! 😂
Latest fashion lol.
Never had this but boy would I have loved it back in the 70's! Great video!!
oooh we had something similar as kids
thanks for the 'member berries
As usual very informative Jerry love it😊
Thanks :)
Also, once you set it up, I think it looks really really good in 1972 I was five years old if you had given me this for Christmas, I would’ve been over the moon .

I agree that most of us would probably have loved this as kids. Even the soldiers I think would have looked great to a any kid 5-10 years old.
loved these collected Britains when I was a kid... then after the sas and marines sets came out they vanished... timpo soldiers I saw a few and liked them a lot but never saw sets ever.... wish i was a kid again lol Id grab em all
Very cool set you got there, I love the 'play mat'. Box art is a bit funky, not sure what happened to the soldiers eyes, but war is hell I guess 😂
Wouldn't want to mix the coloured and regular soldiers together - but - I love the set, it would work as the next step on from the Beach Head Landing, almost part 2 of the story.

I totaly agree. I was happy with any toy soldiers I could get and would make do with what I had.

Sounds like one of the Marx sets.
I remember those modern figures 🙂 I liked the Britain's modern British swoppets better, but these were cheaper!
Cool set

I believe in was Norman tooth? Main timpo moulder who invented over moulding?
Very cool
The canons came with silver plastic bullets IIRC.
I´ll have to look into that :)
Me gustan los juguetes de los 70's
Cool
christmas miracle
I remember using matchsticks for the artillery gun 👍
We did the same :)
WELL DONE VIDEO SIR,NICE KIT FOR IT DAY,THE TIMPOS FIGURES THEY SOLD OVER HERE IN THE STATES WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.THE BODIES CAME IN TWO PARTS AND THE HELMETS AND WEAPONS CAME LOOSE.YOU MIGHT STILL ABLE TO FIND THEM ON LINE. TAKE CARE
I like the 1970's Magic Marker box art. Looks like a rough sketch shown to the client and they thought "sod it, that's good enough... print it" 😂 An M-16 with brown furniture is probably meant to be and AR-10?
I agree on the box art work. Looks more like a sketch then a finished peice of box art.
I remember getting toy soldiers but nothing remotely as good as this, except for the Britain's medieval knights and horses I got when I was 9.
Thsts reallynstate of rhe art injection molding for now let alone 1972. I would have killed to have this as a kid
The bren carrier is the earlier lloyd carrier
That one boys got an M14/1/16. That's that rare world war II Korea Vietnam hybrid 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Cool 👍
Some of that box art is somewhat reminiscent of Joe Kubert's Sgt Rock
Good find , remnants of three sets?
Maybe. If the Brengun Carriers were not included thay would have come in their own sets with one in each.
This is whete the big kids hang out.where
Well a lot of people dont know but the m14 was used most of rhe vietnam war until the last few years. Hence the wooden furniture on the firearm
Are you going for the Airfix Waterloo wargame set as well?
It´s so hard to find a complete set of that game. I will when I can find one :)
Love Timpos🇨🇦especially the Romans Vikings Crusaders US Civil War both sides and World War Two all sides! Well all of them! On display here!
Where did you get that Airfix t-shirt from?
I made it :)
My Fan Art homage to the old toy soldier sets.
You can get your own. Just check below this video.

Exsept the US didnt have bren gun carrierers ......
I don´t think Timpo was all that into historical accuracy :)
But I don´t think thay came with this set originaly.
We always fired matchsticks out of the artillery pieces.
I think that´s one thing we all have in common no matter were we are from :)
When I moved cross country, i had to throw away all my airfix soldiers, corgi vehicles, iwo jima set and army HO train set. I cried.
That´s so sad.
Back in the day you were supposed to fire matchsticks out of the artillery.
I´m not sure if "supposed to" is a 100% correct but we all did when we lost the shells for what ever gun we had :)
The gun at the lower right looks like a german 98K.
Very bad art compared to Matchbox. Not just the box but the playmat is amateurish as well.
The walls look cool, other than that it looks pretty trash.
The trees look like they could be from a savannah set. Very african looking.
I used to love the Timpo cowboys and indians where you could swap out pieces and they had lose guns.
Those were fantastic.
To me Timpo is Cowboys and Indians and Knights. That´s what they did great.
In this set I think the guns, wall sections and sandbags are awesome.
@@toysoldiernostalgia Didn't like the guns, too plasticy and toylike. For a toy. sandbags look like log cabins.
I forgot about their knights! My favorite knights for sure! Those crusaders!!
Did they have those jets in WW2?
Lol well the box stated modern combat ;)
Great set! My favorite were the Atlantic Wargame sets that came out in the late 1970's to early 1980's. They were pretty highly detailed non toxic plastic. I had them all, Stalingrad, Battle of the Bulge, el Alamein, and another one I don't remember. I miss those days!
I would love to get my hands on some of those, but the prices.
ok mister yes you fun ..with vintage 1970 .. in italy impossible find the product 1970 you are collectionist atlantic airfix ...yes i see your report ..very fun for 55 old age child ..very well..matchbox ..procuction ok age 1975... you find the buffalo plane or kit airfix in blu or sky blu in trasparent box ? quality airfix superior atlantic ..but you consider the price 1970 economy italy in lira ...the pound in uk..situations old 50 yers ago
Got to admit the Timpo soldiers look a bit camp, they look like they are in a Carry On movie......oooh hello soldier
Great content thanks
Hi from Ray in Canada , I have a huge collection and many spare items . Mostly Airfix . Open to doing trades and sell or swap .
I don´t have much to trade but I´m always open to buying :)
Compared to Marx and Airfix this is not a good looking set. Just being honest.
I agree.
What struck me was the horrible shirt and tie the poor child on the box had to wear, 70s fashion was disgusting, my mum used to dress me in a similar fashion, I have had a phobia of brightly coloured clothes ever since. LOL 😁
My big fear was Corduroy pants.
We can see from your backdrop how special these kits are to you. Pls try and get a life.
This is one part of my life :)
When i was a kid my parents were heavy smokers and used boxes of those matchsticks to light their ciggies and once used made ideal artillery ammunition.An endless supply!Friendly tip tho folks don’t smoke!🪖🪖🪖
Jerry, that’s a fantastic find as a child. I had the stagecoach and the cowboy town with different buildings the saloon the hotel. Ect the good thing about them they had actual guns that you could replace heads come off scarfs they were the cheaper version but they were a lot of fun. I didn’t know they made this World War II set. The artwork looks like some child has done it but it’s cool.😊
Yes Timpo to me is Knights and Cowboys and Indians. I realy want to get all their Wild West sets but they are pretty pricey.
