Robbie,
your idea to move out of the house is a good one.
parents birds often kick their fledglings out of the nest to get then to try to fly.
College is the time when kids should be encouraged to try things (legal) and complete their drive for independence  (OK, Zina is only 13, and I havent had to deal with her moving out.)

Is it because of your schooling that your parents are considering moving?

Welcome again,
Its nice to know you are here

Hi Robbie!  Glad to see you made it through the hurricanes in one piece, and Psyche is right, the 3rd semester was the worst.

If you go out to the northwest, drive through NM on your way and pick me up ;)  :P  ;D

Hey there, Robbie!     :wave:

Great to see you here!  Your intro reminded me that I first learned about the Tuesday Morning stores from you way back when.  Have you seen any Playmo stuff at TM lately?  The one near me has had a few small sets, but also the 3666 large castle and the 3500 large mansion :o

Yes, that reminds me... :yup:..I was in there one day not expecting to find anything new as far as Playmobil goes, when I checked out a back shelf to find the King's Large Castle(3666) sitting there. I thought it was weird that it was back on the shelf because I knew there was only one and it hadn't been there for about two weeks. I got a closer look and this is what I found....the $99.95 on the price label had been marked through and the price was slashed to $25.00! :D The only thing wrong with this one is that the box was damaged and had come open in the store. All pieces were there and still sealed in the bags. The box is not too far gone at all and I have it looking pretty good. I was thrilled with this little deal and it reminded me of the good old days of Tuesday Morning when they would go through old stock and mark through the lowest price. Its been sooooo long since I've seen them do that.  8}

Aside from that, today I was in there and found some really neat clay pots for gardening and stuff for my mom. They originally were marked as retail price $34.00, Deep Discount Price $9.99 and I snatched em for $2.49. Can you tell I'm a bargain shopper? LOL.  :lol:

Hi Robbie!

Welcome at PlaymoFriends... Hmm, see you are already arrived here...  Great! 8-)

Did you get the 3211 already? You definitely should. It's a great car. I just played
with my little one this morning.. They (the playmos) went out shopping to buy some
LEGO...  :-[ So they stuffed the whole car with the bricks... But luckily you can turn
down the bench... :)

I just recently came along this car, as it is the same as for the bakery delivery van!  :yup:

Anyway, have fun here...
greetings from germany,
socrates

Hi Socrates!

I haven't gotten my hands on the old green car yet, but I am being patient. :) I have the black snow citycar(3693) which was a later version of the green car, and that one is my favorite Playmobil set in my collection. I wasn't sure if the newer Bakery Van was the same molding. Isn't that one going to be put out of production next year? If so, it didn't last too long at all.

LOL! I might put that Castle together tonight. The figures are awesome, especially the Messenger(I don't know what you'd call him exactly, he's the older guy). My other Tuesday Morning across town had the Castle when I went in there today and it was still $99.95. I know that's still a good price, but not good enough for me. ;)

Yep, I think I'm a good shopper.  ^-^ If I see something I want, I usually always wait for it to get marked down. There's always the chance that someone else could snatch up stuff at the current price, but there's also the chance I could get the item later on for considerably less. ;)
