Yes, that's right, it's the Civil War in a bag. Not the whole Civil War, of course, because you'd need several thousand more plastic soldiers, but it still seemed bizarre to see a bag labeled "Authentic Gettysburg".
Authentic? Really? Because all the plastic soldiers have all their limbs. And the sides seem evenly matched. And the horses are all the same color. And there aren't any collaterally damaged civilians. And the Union flag isn't correct for the era. Other than that it seems totally authentic.
*I buy candy at Mast General because they're one of those fake "olde timey" stores that trades on nostalgia, without offering anything at olde timey prices. Part of that, though, means they have olde timey candy there, and there's nowhere else in town, or probably in Tennessee, where I can get a Valomilk when I have a craving.
**Yes, I know I should have bought candy before the movie, but we didn't get there in time.
***"Burn After Reading" was good. I laughed all the way through.

given enough plastic, the South WILL rise again.
Maybe they're intended as a starter kit...where you add the necessary damage. Sounds like a Martha Stewart project to me. give them a festive gaping stomach wound or something to that extent.
