Do it yourself Marx playsets replicas

(History of Marx Toys)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Marx_and_Company

In this page I hope to allow the Hobbyist to duplicate, with reasonable accuracy, some of the memorable Marx Toys playsets. A lot of this will require the use of printer, glue, scissors, and other items. It will be inexpensive what you have to build.

On the other hand, to get the full experience of a Marx playset requires the figures, vehicles, and accessories. These usually do NOT come cheap. But, on the other hand, if you have them and want to display them, this is a good way to go. Whats good about this �print and play� system is that if anything is damaged or destroyed, you can replace it by printing it out and making it again.

I will include links at the page bottom from reputable dealers who I have bought items from. You can also try E-bay, but Caveat Emptor. The auction sites sellers are not always honest with what they sell you and you could wind up with a bad purchase of what amounts to junk. If they have lots of pictures available, look them over CAREFULLY. Also, the prices for a lot of it will make your head spin. Yet, toy collecting of classic toys is never cheap.

I recommend re-cast whenever possible. They are both cheap and less fragile than classic originals that can turn brittle with age.
