I started out with a Pioneer X, intended to be my first and only Alox purchase.  Next, I got a Cadet...then, a black Pioneer...then, an Electrician.  This morning, I purchased a blue Farmer (on the way).  Even though this completes my target Alox purchases, I know better than to say that it is my last Alox purchase. :)



 :like: Love that blue

But don't you think you need a soldier??? at least one???  There's just something about those year stamps that make me feel like everything's going to be OK.  :D

I've looked at Soldiers and those bidding for them want them more than I do.  The plain old Pioneers are quite a bargain by comparison.  However, you never can tell. :)

If we're talking value /price point, you are definitely right.
I've got an edc pioneer and one NIB just in case, paid for both of them around the average price for a post -94 soldier.  The old ones sell for even more, but if you try hard enough, you can find a decent deal. I think they're worth it. 😈 (el diablo on your shoulder)

I think I've decided that Soldiers are my favorite...

At least for now...

Post arrived a few hours back, and Vic Soldier 84 has arrived -hooray! :mail: unfortunately I'm having no joy posting pics, no matter how small I make the images ??? Is this an Apple issue, or am doing something wrong? In any case, loving the new recruit to my Vic Soldier parade, many thanks to Gfiddy! :cheers:

Glad you like it!  :cheers:

Are you using the "attachment" function here on the forum? In that case it should work, as long as the image complies with these restrictions:

Allowed file types: txt, doc, pdf, jpg, gif, mpg, png, JPG, JPEG
Restrictions: 4 per post, maximum total size 4096KB, maximum individual size 1024KB


It works on my iPhone, but I don't know if there are any issues with using an iMac or other Apple products.

Used the attachment function with 700k-ish jpegs, but kept getting errors on the Mac - the iPad pics were too large - I'll keep experimenting until I crack it - I'll try the iPhone next as you suggest - many thanks again! :cheers:

And the other side
 It's not until you see them side by side that you really notice all the subtle changes - oh dear, I fear I'm hooked..... another victim of Alox pox! Worked out how to take pics small enough using the IPad camera - frame small and crop away surplus to get suitably sized pic! :cheers:

Another victim  >:D

What I like about the older versions in particular are the WK stamps. Too bad they stopped this practice around the end of the 80s.

But of course for wenger and vic it was a big compliment that the quality inspection stamps were no longer needed.

So much for the blue Farmer being the last Alox purchase that I intended to make.  I decided that I needed to have this Harvester:
