BMC Toys: Changing of the Guard

The new batch of BMC Toys should be in stock within the next couple of weeks. This is the first production since I purchased BMC Toys from the family of Bill McMaster following his untimely passing in late 2014. The new production was overseen by Bill's 25+ year business partner, Thomas Leung, and manufactured in the same factory that has been producing the line for over 20 years. Since the package art had to be redesigned due to licensing issues, we took the opportunity to make a few minor upgrades and changes to the product line. Other than the package art and following changes, everything is exactly the same as previous production. Here's a rundown on the changes to the BMC Toys product line in 2017:

• 40028    ACW Appomattox Figures 26pc: Piece count increased to 26.
• 40022    Alamo Figures 37pc: No changes.
• 40023    ARW Yorktown Figures 34pc: No changes.
• 49991    WW2 Amtrac Vehicle: Sticker sheet added.
• 99999    WW2 Atlantic Wall Fortifications 21pc: New item.
• 49996    WW2 Bombed Farm House: Walls changed to tan ABS plastic,  reinforcing lines added to interior and roof pins are thicker.

There's many people to thank for making the relaunch of BMC Toys possible, but I especially want to thank the McMaster family for all their help, and for giving me the opportunity to continue BMC's legacy.
