Title: Ace's Latest Purchases
Post by: Ace on February 11, 2012, 17:53:45
I haven't been posting much, but I've sure been stocking up on Klickys ;)! That's why I thought I'd open a new thread for my purchases:

I bought quite a few little things I had been wanting yesterday.

For starters, I picked up a nice CompactSet at Toys R Us. The box was damaged, but everything was there:

Although they're not really my idea of classic knights, the klickies were really nice  ;):

I thought it was a little odd that the red dragon knight dosen't come with a pouch. I guess it's those litte things that make a set like this affordable.

I also got these gaurdians to add to my ever-growing alien invasion force. I made a good choice with the blue one; the yellow version is already discontinued.

Here's the army's latest recruits:

Later, I stopped by a little brick n' mortar toy shop downtown.

Thanks to their bulk add-ons rack, I was able to get this (maybe a little overpriced) green dragon knight leader:

I really like the green crystals in his soward. They catch the light far better than the common red ones:

I also got some specials.
Their last three arabian knights:

And, to top it off, a road worker:

With a few more of those nice signs, he would have made a great Specials Plus  :yup:!

That's all...for now :evilplan:...

Great purchases Ace! I understand that for some these new sets are to weird, but I love the set with the knights and the dragon rock. They do look weird, especially the red one, but its nothing some customisation won't fix  ;D
And those blue guardians, I like them better than all the other guardians.

Nice buys, Ace! :high5:

That dragonland compact set looks a good one 8-)

Btw, that road worker guy, I have never worked out what he is supposed to be doing?

Is he painting white lines with his brush and bucket?
Or is he sweeping the gulleys with his brush and bucket?

Damo :)

This isn't a purchase, but really more of a gift. Today, I got a package from the United Kingdom  :eh?:. Of course, when I saw the return address I knew it was the piece that Elaine had sent me :confetti:! Everything was just fine, and there was a nice note with a really nice picture of the seaside :love:. I'd post some pics, but my camera isn't working and Photobucket is having problems  8}, so maybe tomorrow.

Well, I just got my shipment from Playmobil USA today! As we were informed of here (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=10745.0), it looks like the beer keg might already (again) be Playmobil history  :-\. However, I got mine just in time!
Here are three beauties that came in the mail:
(http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa383/ajarasitis1/DSCF9762.jpg)
And Katzenreich's brave soldiers had no objections whatsoever to the order "Gaurd this with you lives!"  ;):
(http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa383/ajarasitis1/DSCF9761.jpg)
I also thought it was a little funny that Zindorf assumed kids would be filling these up and maybe even taking a drink :giggle:!
(http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa383/ajarasitis1/DSCF9763-1.jpg)
I also got the farmer game. A nice change of scenery from the ghost pirate  :glasses:!
(http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa383/ajarasitis1/DSCF9765.jpg)
I also got two of the large SystemX landscapes, and I'll post some pictures of those in their diorama sometime this week.

Thanks Panos!

Now, last but not least is a single blue flower. The reason I even post about this is because I found it on the ground, a block and a half away from my house... ???. It matches the color of the flowers with the new landscapes exactly, but I guess it's just luck <:>!
