Here is my latest bargain, the impossible to find exclusive set 3176
Ok, it's missing one klicky and a couple of small pieces, but for just £6 off ebay I can't complain! <:> <:> <:>

I will now compare this wagon to the Western one, which I think we all thought they were just the same ;)

:omg:
I'm gonna faint... Damo does it again :wow:

Me, and I'm sure others thought that this wagon was just the same as the 3278 - Covered Wagon (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3278), just with a different coloured canopy
Well, they are completely different! :o
(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4465/unitandsnow109.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/638/unitandsnow109.jpg/)
The most obvious difference is the front:

Moving down, we find that the Western varient has a much longer 'wheelbase', and the green one has clips to the outside:

Here now we can see the full set of differences between the two (I aligned the front wheel hubs for comparison):

Damo :)

I am tempted damo... very tempted . but i am buying leggionnaires, more black lion guards ( officially i am addicted to them and a case study for a psychiatrist) and more goodies for the upcoming battle between two empires... i have a lot of preparations still
... and if you want to trade this wagon for something big one day in the future , PM your thoughts on what you would be willing to trade it with ;)
I was gonna say if you want to trade it for 200 black lion guards but emperor iseroth poked me with his lance and gave me that angry look again :hmm:
This is such a great buy damo, the BEST IN PLAYMOFRIENDS EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: ( and please dont be offended by my offer to trade one day if you want , cant help it :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[)

Erm.. :-[ :-[ :-[
You don't even want to know what I've got my eyes on now!!! :D :D :D
Quiet, Gordon! :shhhh: :P
Damo :)
-
Congratulations, great find!!
But I must make a remark about this wagon's "differences":
Actutally, the green cover is the only difference when compared with the first similar wagons from the Western-theme.
As a kid, I had an early Western-version and the wagon-mould was exactly the same to yours with the green cover. Later on, the wagon-mould was somewhat changed (in the mid 80's I think) to the one you used for making the comparison.
I remember this quite well, as I had both versions of the wagon.
-
I made an offer for that 3176 on ebay right now but was declined ... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(...
i couldnt resist after seeing this awesome wagon.. once again what a catch !!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Wow, congrats - this looks like a fantastic purchase. How do you do it?! ;)
-
Well, I was going to say "how do you do it?" but I see everyone else said that. So, I'll say this instead......
I HATE you, Damo!
Kidding of course! :lol: Congratulations on this fantastic find!
And thanks for the comparison pics, it is different from my western wagon, I would never have guessed.
-
Not to spoil your feelings about the differences between the westerns and knights wagons, but the green wagon is with the exception of the green cover exactly the same as the 3243-1 western wagon from 1976, a set which is more commonly found on Ebay. So if you're up to the clips to attach shields and don't care about the color of the cover, the 3243 is the one to get, George!
Great find anyway, Damo! 8-) 8-)
-
Thanks kenc. MY offer for the 3176 was declined but i keep looking at Damo's one, look superb , this green color adds some exceptional ambiance to this set !!!!

Second that :wave:

Me, and I'm sure others thought that this wagon was just the same as the 3278 - Covered Wagon (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3278), just with a different coloured canopy
Well, they are completely different! :o
Yes, but the older western wagons 3243x had also this mould like your 3176 [KLICK HERE!] (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3243x).
It was not the only set with this wagon mould.
Sorry, kenc also wrote this...
-
Yes, several people have now pointed this out. But still it was news to me that there are two different covered wagon molds.... now three because the new western sets have yet another! Thanks for showing us the comparison, Damo. :)

Very tempted to increase my offer but i will just wait patiently like that killer fish that waits in its lair for some innocent fishes to enter and then devours them without mercy and without much husstle. I will just follow this tactic and wait until ( hopefully) my offer is accepted .... Just like that fish :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Should i win this wagon i will decorate it with flags everywhere and it shall the royal wagon in the Krull's invasion force !!! Amen 0)
