Value of Britains Ltd metal toy soldiers?
Values vary from $1 (or £1, or whatever country you're in) to $1000 - it depends which figures you're talking about, and their condition. There is no easy way to tell, you just have to learn about all of them - there are plenty of reference books.
Sets or other items (e.g. horse drawn carts etc from their farm range) in original boxes are usually worth about double what the same items would be without the box - in some cases there is an even bigger difference. For example, some years ago a boxed set of Britains plastic (also collectable - not just lead now) Robin Hood set, made circa 1960, sold for about UK£1200. It was a very attractive box, made to look like a scene in Sherwood Forest, but stll, the set of 5 figures on their own in good condition usually go for about £100 - so that means the carton was worth £1100!
Empty boxes are valuable, and bought by collectors who have (or think they can find) the figures which go in them. Britains boxes have a set number, and the reference books show which figures should go in which number box.
And don't get too hung up about Britains Ltd figures - their competitors' (e.g. JoHillCo, Timpo, Taylor & Barrett, Hanks Bros, Pixyland/Kew) figures are just as collectable and with a similar range of values
