This story brings out my charitable side. I would like to assume the burden of storing these pieces free of charge to all parties involved. I would be willing to provide safe storage of these pieces indefinitely. If need be I would even cover the financial cost, of having the proper documentation drawn up, to tranfer ownership to me. In his advanced years the owner shouldn’t have to deal with the strain of fighting the government. My charitable act would also save the German tax payers money.
Look what I found…...

……at the World War 1 Memorial and Museum in Kansas City, MS. I was browsing through the museum gift store and in the toy section…lo and behold here this was on a shelf just above the stuffed monkeys. :-D They only want $110 for it. :roll:
-
Hmm…intriguing. I can see why they’d sell that game at a WWI memorial and museum, but I can’t grasp the rationale for selling stuffed monkeys – unless perhaps it’s to keep the kids amused while their parents tour the exhibitions?
-
No Marc - it is to keep them amused while their parents settle down to another day long A&A session. Complementary marketing!
-
I know the reason for the monkeys…
Husband and wife are visiting the museum… Husband sees A&A 1914 for $110… “hey honey, look, here’s a monkey, look at the monkey!” [Husbands slips the clerk $110 for 1914 while wife is distracted].

Maybe they sell monkey because of this?
-
Wow that’s an interesting story, Coach.
Please tell me that won’t be your next expansion set, “South African Monkeys at War”.
Hmmm… I wonder if we can think of a house rule for that???
Hey!! Quit looking at my monkey! -

Hey!! Quit looking at my monkey!No. we will pass on this one!

I’m surprised nobody has made a movie of it yet. It is quite fascinating.

Ah. Yes, that makes sense. It’s a good thing they’re not selling Global 1940 because it would take more than a few monkeys to keep the kids amused for a full-length session of that gigantic game.
