After that, or if you can't wait...eVilbay, there's usually some on there.<br /><br />Or...ask on your blog or a forum for a Spanish swap-mate?Hugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-34493410035547853982015-02-13T23:51:07.139+13:002015-02-13T23:51:07.139+13:00Swiss troops!

I bought some books/elastolin figures depicting/about the 1970s Swiss army. I still have them. i had never come across the EKo figures til your post. How often do they appear for sale as I would dearly like to buy some for nostalgia/gaming reasons?<br />Alantradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
