Peter Laing Figures by the Numbers

I just received a lot of Peter Laing figures. This lot consists of 14 small bags of figures. It seems that they are sample packs, as on the outside the figure numbers are written. Also there are few duplicate figures. Only three of the fourteen packs were open. It seemed like a good time to try to match the figures to the Peter Laing catalog.

    1. I am opening the packs and photographing them before putting them on the blog. 2 down, 12 to go. Just from the above, I have 5 new figures for my collection.

    1. This is the third lot I've gotten in original packing, but this lot are mainly individual figures, unlike the other two which were basically lots of the same figures.

  3. That is several Christmases and birthdays rolled into one perfectly formed package. No minifig infestation with this delivery ?

  4. It is a great lot. I am keeping the best for last (I have to do a little research). I kept my mouth shut about this lot so I wouldn't curse myself!

  5. I think it's more like lucky man; but it is definitely a good catch!

  6. John, looks like a truly great find, I am envious! Some of those Napoleonic figures, I have never seen before.
    I will be busy now comparing the numbers I can see on the packs to my catalogue!

  7. Ian, I think there may be more that you haven't seen, at least I hope so. I tried to match the figures to the catalog you have shared. If I make a mistake, hopefully you will correct me.
