News of Generic Box

Posted by Beano Boy on 13 Jan 2017, 16:37

I already have several boxes of Hat Marines and Sailors in the collection,but there is a new Generic box: of non specified toy soldiers on the box art,by HAT. A Tag is stuck onto the side as to contents. So this might be the answer to sell boxed sets in a universal box for both new or old sets of toy figures. It would only involve a description tag.

80 figures & 8 Cannon

Seeing only this first box,this is my opinion. However as a collector I just had to acquire the first box.
It cost £12.75 from Drum & Flag on EBay.BB

I believe the generic box is just for reissues of old sets, not for new sets.

For a generic box I think that's quite attractive BB. It looks like the type of box some of the old lead soldiers in your collection might have come in when they were new. :-)

Thanks Graeme,a little friendly input is most welcome.
You may well be right about those older sets. BB

Drum & Flag sells some of HaT sets in generic box on Ebay. But this is first time I see one and I like it.

I like them too, there has been some moaning about them, but they have character, and they are only used when Hat have stock of the figures but no specific boxes, so to get them on sale quickly generic boxes are used.
