How can you make the non-firing 7320 more fun?

By fitting it with a spring to fire?

Is that really the only difference?
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Stupid american cannons keep dropping the... "pusher"... cause there is no spring. I don't give a darn if it shoots or not, but having that part always dropping is ridiculous.  >:(

By making it the firing version. I can PM you with instructions on how to do this. I will not post it in the forum as Playmobil had its reasons for removing the spring and I respect that choice. You can order generic springs that meet the required specs off of e-bay, I am sure Amazon will find you a supplier as well. All other parts of the cannon remain the same between the two versions. The reason why the later version firing rod falls out is due to the lack of the spring to keep it in compression.

Yes, please TMH, if you could PM me the details. though it sounds very easy, just a case of finding a spring of suitable size?

I know it has been over a month since I have even been on the forum, let alone posted to it. Work has been extremely busy and I have had to put in a lot of over time. Lately I have just been able to eat, sleep with no real time for anything else. I have 9 pages of your posts to get through and look forward to seeing what everyone has been up to. I have still be hunting down items off my list and a few have shown up so I will get them posted when I have some more time.

Oh I finally got Playmobil 4961 MISB.

Finally got 3037 MISB, never had as a child, but this is an amazing set. As close as Playmobil has gotten to a Pinkerton stage coach, though if I could have them pump life back into the western theme I think it would be one children would like. It would be an armoured stage coach with a gatteling gun, how awesome is that? Though PM would probably slap on a cannon like the one used in Playmobil 9055...

Is the saddle on that horse molded on? Or is it a separate piece? It looks like it might be the molded one. If so then it is super rare, as in I know of two people in the world who have confirmed examples of it and I am not one of them. It would be great to confirm what set series it came from and may make the hunt easier. Thanks
