You may have noticed that I’ve been out of the collecting community for a while.

That’s because I’ve been focused on my new business venture… The Toy Box! (The Toy Box)

I’m in no way promoting it on this forum but in short its a subscription box bringing nostalgic toys to customers. Customers can subscribe monthly to this service or make a one-off purchase. There’s currently three boxes; the 80s box, 90/2000s box and Girls 90/2000s box and each box contains a video game, action figure, trading cards, comic and some misc. items.

This new venture has been fairly successful; however, I was considering expanding the service to the militaria market - my true passion.

This idea is in its infancy but I was just putting it out there to see what the general response and feeling towards this idea is…

So here it is!

Theres two boxes an Imperial German (WW1/pre WW1 era) and a Third Reich (WW2/1933-45) one. A box will include 10 postcards/photographs (value - £15-20), a medal/badge (value - £15-20), x2 misc items e.g. documents, field gear, ribbon bars etc. etc. (£5-10 each). Total value will be £40 - £60.

The main selling point of this is that that contents will be worth more than the purchase price, its a nice surprise each month and adds some extra passion into collecting.

So I was thinking about pricing these boxes at £30.00 each including postage (within UK).

Items will be nicely dispatched in a custom made brown envelope or box with leaflet etc so would also make a nice gift for a special someone.

I’d love some feedback to hear what you think about it?

Thank you, Glen
