I don't have many boxed toys, so this is a bit of a specialty for me. Tootisetoy Navy set number 5750 includes:
U.S.S. Saratoga (Aeroplane Carrier)
U.S.S. Portland (Cruiser)
U.S.S. New York (Battleship)
K880 (Destroyer)
Submarine
Troop Transport
Not to mention the extremely cool graphics on the lid and insert. I had always wanted to get a few of the tootsietoy boats (I love battleships almost as much as tanks!), but I never put in the effort to collect them. I had the opportunity to get this set at a reasonable price and I couldn't pass it up!
P.S. We have a toy soldier category now? Awesome!
