Garden centre theme ex-shop display
« on: November 02, 2011, 16:32:03 »
My latest eBay purchase I picked up on Monday evening-only 15 minutes away.   :)9
It's an ex-shop display so the pieces were originally glued but have been pulled off for playing however, the items on the shelves in the shop are still glued which is quite handy as they don't fall over constantly.    :lol:
I wasn't expecting the board to be all that good but it is really detailed.  The figures aren't the originals but for £13 I'm not really bothered.   ;D

A photographed the sticker on the bottom because I am interested in where it has come from.  eBay feedback research shows the people I bought it off bought it off someone else in the UK but the sticker is in French?   :hmm:  Could it be from a french shop or would that be where it was put together?

Wow, £13.00  :omg: That is a fantastic buy Verity.   :clap:
I love the way the house has been made into the flower shop  :love:
I saw this, but iI think it was just collection only, I realised it was near you and wondered if you would see it, but thought you were just collecting the Victorian houses  :)

My latest mansion arrived the other week too but to compensate I did sell one.   ;)
I think with the total up to 7 I need to stop now! :lol:

Right that's it I'm going to sit and sulk

It'll go with my microset ex-display (£12 two years ago) very nicely.   :P

Did you know they did a similar one that housed the city life shops which carries on the same boards I think (I've tried to get both of these in the past)

It'll go with my microset ex-display (£12 two years ago) very nicely.   :P

Ah, I didn't know that! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh I nearly forgot, nice buy btw ;)

Great find! A real bargain too, that was a great series and is getting harder to find these days.
