Indian set 3483 at a good price

[flatcat]

Hello Playmofriends

This is my third attempt at posting this as my computer keeps crashing and I lose the lot

Anyway, this is my latest purchase from ebay, which is Indian set 3483 in excellent condition in it's box, just missing a feather. It was a 'Buy it now' at £5 plus £2.50 P+P.



I really really like this set, as the Klickies and accessories are so simple, and offer so much play value


There are lovely images on the box








Does anyone know what is missing from this bow? It looks as if it should be an elastic band of somesort, as there are slots in the arrows which makes it look as if it is supposed to actually fire



The bow is wierd becuase it doesn't actually fit inyo the Klickie's hand - also, how many red arrows should there be in this set, please

Yes, it should have a small elastic band.

It should fit into a klickys hand, though. The slot-side should face away from the klicky.

Thanks fior all the pics Damo, and congratulations on a great value buy. This brings back happy memories of playing on my bedroom floor with my Playpeople Indians.

I love the old box pictures. What a shame they have now go with boring "informative" pictures, rather than the "look what you can do" pictures. I especially like the rearing horses in the circle of wagons picture, I used to do that all the time with my cowboys and indians, and the modern plodding horses can't rear. One example of how more "realistic" looking horses can be inferior for play purposes.

Oh wow!!! Congratulations Damo for such a great set at such a low price!!!
I must have had 3 or four of these as a child... just a few surviving today...I had to get most of them again from ebay, teepees, totems, canoos etc!

Thank you for the great pictures!! I too miss these great boxes  ! The modern ones lack such imagination...

I know, these old box images were just the best, and the catalogue ones of the time were also so beautiful

Sorry, yes the dioramas. I loved how they used different materials and textures to create land and scenery

I image it would have given happiness and imagination to the children of that time buying those sets, of how they could make up such scenes themselves. But now you are kind of up to yourself to create something
