Title: Finds while traveling
Post by: Ismene on September 28, 2014, 16:48:02
As some of you know, I'm currently in France. I haven't seen as much Playmobil as I thought I would. Monoprix and FNAC have a few sets each, but I went to a small toy store, and there was nothing.

This weekend there was a braderie with people selling used things. I did see Playmobil, but most of it didn't have a condition/rarity/price combo tempting enough to make me want to clear space for it in my luggage (i.e. I can find the same thing for the same price or less in the States).

Here's what I did get. I wish the nun's crucifix was in better condition, but I've had such trouble getting her that I bought her anyway. The pony is a color I don't have yet. I just realized the chest is missing its base.  :-[ Oh well, at least now I have the nun and her habit (they weren't together; I had to search through the selection to find the habit; no luck finding her Bible).

Oh I'm happy to hear that the paper-work got sorted and that you've arrived in France  :)
I'm sure that you'll find a lot more Playmobil soon, but I like your finds already.

Flee markets here in Belgium aren't flooded with Playmobil either, but there's always something worthwile  :love:

Great buys! Hopefully you'll find the parts you're missing too. ;)

Ismene, that nun is still available here.
If you want one or more, let me know ;-)  (i have a couple of them)

What does that base look like? I might have it in my spares box...

Really? How much are they? I've seen some for sale online, but they're pricey.

The chest base should look something like a silver picture frame. I found a pic of a complete one: http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/pict/331311564029_1.jpg
