Thats great for me seeing those Marx books! I have the Timpo, Airfix and Britains book you are yet to review as I am in the UK. I am 64 and as a kid I had the six inch Marx figures that were made at the Marx factory in Swansea, Wales, UK. However as in UK we had our equivalent Airfix, Britains, Crescent, Cherilea, Charbens, Timpo, Herald etc. We did not have the Marx playsets seen in your reviewed books. We had playsets from British manufacturers though. I have been collecting since around the 1970's and I have built up a small collection of Marx and Ledo figures through the decades. I have a couple of Marx playset magazines mainly for the articles on western playsets. I still have from the 1960's (however box long gone) the fort cheyanne playset which was made in wood and pressed hardboard had plastic roofs that fitted over the wooden watchtowers. Ledo soldiers as you featured in your book review, also Ledo Indians some that twisted at the waist. And cowboys and mountain men figures. Accessories were wagons (red ones, yellow wheels) cannons and ladders etc. I saw these when you reviewed Ledo pages in the Civil War Marx book. I enjoyed your review especially looking at the pages because they are rare to get over here. Regards, Martin.
...... Iggy, I'm so glad you finally reached over a thousand subscribers, which means you are monetized now. I have followed you since the beginning, and I enjoy all that you do.
Nice reference material! It should keep you on UA-cam for another 50 years! combined with you nice experiences! You should rebind the good quality pages of the soft cover books,into the hard covers! Your only as old, as the Pension department makes you feel!
Congratulations on your retirement. Remember when you are retired every day is a Saturday except for Sunday. You will have a long and joyous retirement.

Thank you. I don't think I can make money at it, but it's nice that the Iggy Army has new recruits,!
