Title: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: Tiermann on January 18, 2013, 16:28:13
Hi, I should get in touch with the local retailer to tell him I how many cases of Fi?urges we want this time around. The first batch we did was series 2 where I got 3 cases of each and a a couple of sets left over. The second time I got 2 cases of each and there were a couple of people who didn't get sets that would have liked them. So how many want them this time around? This is the least interesting batch so far, but as always there are a feel good ones that will end up being hard/expensive to get by themselves probably.
So let me know if you want a complete set of boys and girls Series 4. 

Full sets for:

Tiermann
Martin Milner

I'm in. I'm learning it's easier to get rid of what I don't want than try to find the ones I want individually.  ;)

They come out cheaper than that when buying the whole box. Of course the price may have gone up, but I seem to remember last time it was 70ish for everything.

Thanks for the price, I see now I was wrong in my math $3 x 12 = $36  :-[

I guess put me down for one set of each also.  I like some of them, so maybe those I'm not interested in might find a home here with someone.

oh! I jsut saw this but I'll try to get them from a german friend... USA post is very expensive to argentina  :'( :'( :'(
but anyway... I'll let you know Tim.
Thanx for starting it


Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: Tiermann on January 22, 2013, 01:15:03
Sure Gaston, just let me know,
so the current list is:

Tiermann
Martin Milner
Baron Marshall
bonniebeth
toyologist
kaethe
Ronastoo
Rasputin
Knight Train
ISMENE
Jay

so that's almost 3 cases, since there is a chance of uneven set numbers it would be nice to be able to go to 4 cases, a couple of additional people willing to take part will get us into the territory for that.
Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: Rasputin on January 22, 2013, 01:16:18
If 2 more do not show I could/would buy a 2nd set.
Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: bonniebeth on January 22, 2013, 01:30:35
Well, and others may come in on it later and want full sets.

Also, remember we make an exception for F?gures when it comes to the annual sale rules, so long as you do even trades or sell them off at cost. So if you end up with extras feel free to start a thread to sell/trade them so you aren't stuck with a bunch of extras.
Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: Baron Marshall on January 22, 2013, 12:36:04
I can probably buy a second set or leftovers if there are any after the list is filled and any latecomers are served  :)
Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: Tiermann on January 28, 2013, 20:30:33
FYI I've placed an order for 4 cases of each from the shop. We will get them as soon as they release to the West Coast US. I will let you know when they come in. We definitely have a couple of sets available if anyone would like to join in.

Series 2- Mexican, prisoner, basketball player, Ninja, pirate, alien, Geisha x 10
Series 3- Beefeater x 30, ninja, Elf, Scare crow, clear robot, Flamenco dancer, Egyptian lady

Post by: Tiermann on March 15, 2013, 20:56:45
The previous ones have cost us $2.55 each so $61.20 plus shipping for all 24. The price may change, it's based on what the shop is charged by Playmobil.
Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: bonniebeth on March 15, 2013, 21:09:44
I'll be saving my money for it, then! Thanks so much Tim. I love knowing I can have a full set.

They're here, I picked them up from the shop this morning. It will take me a few days to sort through them all. I have some other commitments this week to work around. The price is the same $61.20 per set of 24. I may or may not have your address so it's helpful if everyone pm's that to me or sends to my timspfd@gmail.com address. I will let you know what your total is once I have the shipping amount for you worked out.

Tim I confirm I got my batch just today from England!  :love:
So I won't be needing a set.

I might be interested in some loose figures if eventually you end up  with some.
Thanks a lot!

So far I've opened one boy and two girl cases. The boy case was short two pirates but had an extra baseball player and an extra pilot. The girl cases each had 8 female pirates and no baywatch rescue swimmers. All other girl figures were even counts. We'll see how the other two cases work out. Hopefully there will be at least some of the swimmer for the modern theme fans. Don't know if it was just a packing issue or maybe a production issue where they just didn't have them so subbed in more pirates.

I'd be happy to take an extra female pirate, instead of the swimmer.

Im missing the necklace of the fairy  :( so if you get an extra one... please hold it for me. I'll be willing to pay of course.

Also extra ALIENS... LOVE THOSE!!!!

 I got only an extra handcuff from the wizard if you need it.

Post by: bonniebeth on April 19, 2013, 02:57:40
Yeah, I'll be interested to hear if they do better this time than last time as far as mistakes -- missing parts, mangled parts, extra parts, etc.

Btw, i'm always interested in extra hairpieces, other than traditional hat hairs, and willing to pay for them. ;D

Post by: Tiermann on April 19, 2013, 19:02:17
Opened another box of girls and its looking the same. Did a box of boys and it was even except that the Indian was missing the cloak and both feather pieces. That's a lot of weight, it should have been kicked out at some point. I should be finished opening tomorrow and will get a weight and start sending out the totals to people.
I really like the alien too, and have been surprised in not liking the mad scientist much, but I do really like the pilot and the female orange rescue worker better than expected.
Some extra small parts but not a ton so far, I will let you all know what's there when I finish up in case you want something.

I've sent a mail to all people on the list with some options. Let me know what figures you want in addition to full sets. Once I have heard from all the co-op members I will make the remaining figures available to the general PF population at the same price, should anyone want any of them. I will probably start a new thread for that part. Thanks all.

The bagging errors weren't too bad this time. There was the one Indian and also one baseball player that was missing just his baseball.
Here are the extra parts

and after pulling out the complete-ish sets for the co-op members here are the figures left over out on the sorting table

Gaston, yes I think that will all be possible.
Robbie - it turns out the clowns were the most requested extra figures by the ones getting co-op sets, so they are all gone. Sorry, if I end up with any left later I will let you know.

Out of curiosity, are all the Roman capes a touch short?
Title: Re: US Fi?ures Co-op Series 4
Post by: Tiermann on April 26, 2013, 14:15:50
The cape looked like a typical one to me and all of the figures had the same one.

Post by: tonguello on April 26, 2013, 15:20:14
That's what I mentioned in the other thread. the roman's cape is different than the one in the official pitures or the leaflet.

Thanks Tim!... is there any left overs?
