First time I've posted here, simple question. I have about a thousand of the 1/72nd scale soldiers. Bought them in the 80s and built a sand table for the kids. Now my youngest is 35 so this stuff just sits around gathering dust. There is German, Japanese, Russian, British, US, NVA, Airborne, all both WWI and WW II, Africa Corps British and German, also tanks, artillery, APCs, ect.  No original boxes - Is there any interest in this?   Thanks

I haven't seen anyone talk about those in years.
You'll have to do a bit of searching to find someone willing to buy, but there is a Market for everything... Might search E-bay and a few auction sites.
