We cannot put a value on products not currently available on our website. We recommend that you look at auction sites and the secondary market to gauge current prices. We do not appraise vintage W.Britain figures but there are reputable dealers who do. Here are but a few:
Joseph Saine Toy Soldiers and Antique Toys
Old Toy Soldier Auctions USA
Antique Toy World
We DO NOT purchase vintage W.Britain collections. However, you may be interested in trying to sell it yourself (in many cases you will realize a return closer to the actual value), sites like Etsy, eBid, Bonanza, Amazon, and of course eBay, make it easier than ever to sell on line. If you are not interested in selling it yourself, there are a number of sites and companies that would be glad to help you. We suggest you contact one of these reputable dealers:
Joseph Saine Toy Soldiers and Antique Toys
Antique Toy World
There are plenty of great reference materials available. We recommend The Great Book of Britains by James Opie. Over 600 pages with hundreds of photographs and comprehensive text. Britains Civilian Toy Figures by Norman Joplin and Arnold Rolak offers images not found in Opie’s tome.
We DO NOT have replacement parts for CURRENT or vintage W.Britain figures. We are sorry but we are also not in a position to repair antique figures. There is a company that has provided reproduction part for vintage figures. You can contact them here:
London Bridge Collectors Toys
We DO NOT have original boxes. Obviously, a complete set with an original box has higher market value. Unfortunately, these boxes are rare and we are not aware of anyone currently making replacements.
Yes, creating exclusive figures is a service W.Britain as provided for many years.
Although any number of figures may be made, a minimum of 200 must be ordered. A design, sculpting and engineering fee may be included in your quote. Shipping costs will be billed separately. Feel free to contact us regarding your exclusive figure or set!
Unfortunately, the new website system does not support dual currencies at this time. For those international collectors who have been purchasing from us via the website, we encourage you to visit one of your local retail shops.
