…and STILL have?
Mine are: 1. Sears Heritage Blue and the Gray 2. Sears Heritage Alamo (I have added some re-issue Marx Mexicans of different colors to help "flesh out" the army)
I added the Ben Hur re-release back in the mid-1990s, and I put together a "custom" set of the Sears Heritage Sons of Liberty for my son Christmas before last. This set included: Original tin tavern, original SOL flag pole and flag, re-issue red British, re-issue Johnny Tremain characters, re-issue gold British cannon and accessories, re-issue Marx SOL furniture, re-issue Marx green trees and gray low walls, and Accurate brand Colonials, as the re-issue Marx colonials have been out of print for some time. He loves the set!

The only complete ones my brother & I had that we got new were Lazy Days Farm & Cape Canaveral, but we had a few partial sets with various miscellaneous pieces from junk shops & garage sales. We often used them all together...army men, cowboys & Indians, cavalry, animals, vehicles & whatever tin buildings were around. Basically wherever our imaginations took us. I still have a lot of it & have completed some of the sets back to original.

I had Cape Canaveral, the boxed set. Sadly I lost it all pretty quick. Then I had the Dinosaur set on the card and Prehistoric Times with the vacu-form base. Lasted much longer but eventually all got lost.
