Battleground and Combat Sets |
| Atomic’s newest book, Marx Battlegrounds and Combat Sets (1958-1963) explodes on the scene with one of the most requested books of all time in the hobby, documenting the complete history of one of the most exciting and beloved sets of all time. In over 180 jam packed pages of colorful information and entertaining stories, you’ll enjoy complete mint-in-box listings for every Battleground and Combat set of the crucial period of 1958 through 1963. Witness the development of the sets, see the Combat Training Centers as they accept the first of the new figures and accessories; then the explosive debut of the first Battleground sets in Sears and Retail Stores, and the magnificent Marine Beachhead playsets, “The Marines’ Own!” all the way until the last of the sets featuring first series US forces. See the Marx Combat Line with its shoebox sets and the awesome Army accessories that left us breathless: the German helmets, the infantry rifle sets, the grenades and more vintage toys. Relive the incredible debut of the giant sets as Giant Army Battleground and Gallant Men reach explosive new heights; turn the pages of history as suddenly Hitler’s ground troops appear. |

| Witness D-Day and Army Combat as never before with the enemy figures that changed everything; no more would the US GI’s fight one another in khaki and green; and we end with the expectation of the following year as Marx changes up everything again with all new troops and accessories.
An enormously colorful and complete undertaking, an explosive book filled to the brim with research, details and commentary, the first of its kind to tell the complete story. AVAILABLE NOW! 100’s of full color photos, two-page spreads, plus factory images, factory records, many vintage ads and full text explaining the full story of the Marx Battlegrounds. |

Your books and videos have been invaluable in verifying the claims of the eBay sellers on the three playsets that I have acquired to date. I plan to subscribe to your magazine so I can learn the good dealers, as well! Mike Cunningham |
