Again, the gold pot and the dark green bow are unique to this set.



It makes a great talking point while everyone tries to work out what Macruran is thinking!

No unique parts today. The two light blue inserts for the wine glass are different shades of blue in my set, but they have the same part number, so this must be due to normal variation in plastic colours.

I was wondering that too. Is it meant to be water?

Surely they aren't drinking curacao straight? If they are, they better send the kid to the sitters.

Day 24: Christmas Eve
« Reply #88 on: December 24, 2020, 11:28:00 »
Posting this early today as I will be busy this evening....




The tree has 31 decorations (I had 2 spares). It was a fiddly job to fit them all to the tree! All four types of decoration are unique to this set.



The complete scene:


A few pictures of the boxes (embargoed until 24 December due to spoiler potential)




Some more pictures of boxes and contents



(I opened the box in late November to assemble all the parts and take the photos, so I have been feigning surprise at the opening of each window for the last 24 days!)

There are two instruction booklets, though only part 2 is shown on the playmobil websites (the house building instructions are part 1).


There were extra parts in some bags:


Thanks for looking and commenting. Have a very happy Christmas!

Those are beautiful balls...  :love:   (need to remember that!)

And the tree looks awesome too!
