That is a decent week's haul Playmomac, as usual I waited too long to order from Playmobil US and now the Bunny Stumps are gone!  :o i may go after some Nativity sets next month, we'll see  :hmm: By the way, has anyone had any luck on being notified of an item that has gone out of stock? Can you get it at the advertised price or does it go back up to regular price? I don't have much faith that I will be able get those stumps now, oh well live and learn.

I was waiting to place an order to include a couple of red timbered houses and now they're out of stock. :'(

I don't hold much hope they'll come back anytime soon, so I consoled myself with $300 of other stuff (broken into two trders so I got two free Ghost Pirate gifts). :P

Piked up 2 Nativity sets at Learning Palace with a 20% coupon, thinking about the 3268 Empire Castle, they have it for $200 less 20% so $160, not sure if it is worth it for the parts, have to decide by Monday (decisions, decisions).  ???

Great acquisitions playmomac! I tried to acquire a 4311 airport terminal this week, but it is an unproductive quest @ this point  :(.

Very cool!
I like the Robin Hood figure!

I wanted to get the Robin Hood for a long time, and think he is one of my favourites....much better than the Robin Hood Special that was put out recently.
 
I also forgot to mention that I picked up the Viking Mega Set 5003 this week too.  I was so surprised to find it as I hadn't seen it  listed anywhere (Im wondering if it is an exclusive set).   I had already bought things these things on ebay and DS, but as it was a good deal (29 euros) I couldn't resist!  I felt a little guilty for having got so much at once, but when I held everything in my hands, everything was well again. I want to put it in the review section complete with photos, but as I am on ski vacation in Austria it will have to wait until I get back next week.

what are Bunny Stumps?

Great "buy", Playmomac!

Especially the Viking Mega-Set 5003.

Please do a complete review when you return from your ski trip.
Would love to see all of this great set!

Also, please take some really good pictures of the front and back of the box, as Heather's 5003 - Viking Mega-Set (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5003) pictures at PlaymoDB (http://www.playmodb.org/) could really use an upgrade!

All the best,
Richard

Sorry, I was referencing the 4460 Easter Bunny Tree House that PM USA had as a special for the month of February but is out of stock.

that is a great set....I was able to pick one up last year at easter.  I think it would make a great Merry Men's Hideaway.  Which reminds me...Wouldn't it be a great idea for PM to make a Forest Dweller theme, complete with tree houses and tree top bridges connecting one another, kinda like the Ewok village in Return of the Jedi? Im getting excited about this and it hasn't even been created (yet) !!! 8} 8} 8}  But seriously, it could be an offshoot of the Knights theme, complete with shooting nets, catapults and plenty of Merry Men lying wait in the treetops ready to steal the goods from the rich. 

I guess I'll just have to keep dreaming and create my own customs until that day comes (if and when!).

That would be a sight to behold PlaymoMac! :o
I would buy as many of those sets as I could get my hands on! ;D
