Just looking at the figures on your shelves what a fantastic brilliant awesome collection ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

My grandmother had an old Fort Apache playset in her attic that I would go up the narrow spiral staircase and play with. I’m pretty sure the house was haunted. I left it on a few occasions without putting it up.

I see the GiJoe behind you, but I remember Marx so fondly especially the 12 inch Figures to be with my GiJoes. I had a brand new Geronimo figure. That was so very rare. Usually mom could only afford toys at yard sales if it was being sold for pittance. Getting a 12 inch Man of Action at a thrift store for 1.00$ around 1977 mint condition with dog tag but in Land Adventurer fatigues. I was laughing and playing with it during the service. I had no idea who the person was in the family. But there were so many old people there. Those Marx playsets were things in old catalogs were elementary school Frederick's of Hollywood of junior high. Before perusing the adult magazines at Waldenbooks. Both the space sets or the Medieval castles or the cowboys and Indians were so huge.

When I was 12 in 2001 my dad threw away my 1993 pc I used to play on. He threw away all the floppy games too. In 23 years I still haven't got over what he did! I have a bucket O soldiers from toy story. I also collect currencies, retro games and and flags. I get a lot of my soldiers from BMC toys too!

For me and my friend group it was the Fort Apache and Battleground sets.

I had Fort Apache! Would love to have another one just to set on a shelf!! MAN this Brings back some " seldom" Good Memories!! Now I want to find one... Fort Apache for me!!

Having that place as a kid would be absolutely fantastic. I had a thought that was handmade for me. It got shot up with the air rifle and burnt out with the action men in the Garden great days. lol obviously not advisable today for children

I got my Marx Alamo playset on Christmas of 1960, or it might have been 1961. It came with the original Fort Apache pioneers. As I remember they were in silver and tan. The Mexicans were all in light blue, consisting of both Shako hats and round hats. The front gate piece was the plastic (stone/adobe) in a cream color, not white. Thank you for posting all your informative playset videos. I enjoy going down memory lane and appreciate them very much.

Had one from Sears got as an early Christmas gift .

Had it in the late 70s loved it.

I was just about to say me and my brother had four Apache which many battle was done in the garden ☺️☺️☺️🇬🇧

Had this as a little boy( im 68) ,it was my older brothers....had it up until around 1969( think i lost it playing Stratego trying to win Spiderman #3...My Mexicans were Blue,The Defenders were light biege... Some darker ones too .

Very cool. Great video

GREAT VIDEO SIR,YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE ALAMO SET WITH INDIANS .THAT WAS BECAUSE DISNEY DAVY CROCKETT WAS SO POPULAR THAT THEY HAD TO RUSH THE ALAMO SET OUT FOR CHRISTMAS AND THERE WERE NO MEXICANS MOLDS YET..MY BROTHERS GOT ONE THAT YEAR.THANK YOU FOR THE TRIP IN THE WAYBACK MACHINE.GOD BLESS

Thanks for the memories.

I fought many battles in the days when green army men were about $1a bag and Black Cat firecrackers were easily accessible to kids.

Great review 👏

You mention CTS sets. There are 2 nice sets on SUPER MART (enter Alamo). Good prices.

Very late comments on your review and giant Alamo set up. Lots of instant memory flashes to a long, long ago toy time. A chap out of Florida who's name I regretfully cannot remember, had an outfit called Windows on the World. He was an architect and produced a small line of resin/plaster and wood buildings and fronts. He produced an alamo in 1/32. When set up it nearly filled a 12' x 8' board. You assembled and painted the buildings your self. This was all back in the late 1980s. Not terribly accurate but it worked at the time.

I bought this set for my son.Was disappointed because it was'nt like the original.He loved it anyway.

Hay Paul thank you for your videos ,Marx had some amazing play sets and toys do you collect Johnny west

Remember the Alamo!

love you brother!

Great video. Yeah I had an original Alamo playset that came with the Indians, was disappointed no Mexican soldiers, but the Indians attacked the fort and did their best anyway, ha ha, had hours of fun with the set. I did buy a reissue set a few years ago, and even bought tons of extra Mexican soldiers, (their can never be enough. Set it up once took up a lot of space, took it down later, never reproduced the hours I spent as a kid, however, sitting in a box somewhere among my stuff, but I could never ever part with it. Again thanks for making the video. Hey do you have a video on the Ben Hur set?
