Anyone ever have a set like this?

Got this and the Invasion Force set with ships and two different colored army men. Plus a bag of regular army men. No models that year but this kept me busy for a long time.

Memories..... For me it must of been 55years ago. The big anticipation of the arrival of the big Sears, Pennys, & Montgomery-Ward Christmas catalogs. Those catalogs got so beat up between me and my brother circling and scribbling out our Christmas wants.
While we didn't get this one we got other "diorama" sets for Christmas. BIG bags of army men, other years a fort & cowboys & Indians, Civil War sets. I think that my parents got off cheap compared to my sisters' kitchen sets & Easy bake ovens. All I know is we sure played with those things to death.
Thanks for the memories Russ !
