It's been a good day today - the postman brought ten parcels (admittedly one was an ink cartridge and another some new trainers for Junior (who has lost his best ones!) but the rest ... lets just say it's a good job that Sandy was at work ;D
Among them was a Roman arena that I won on ebay, it has a few pieces missing such as a flame and holder, some chains, helmets and shields and other small bits that I expect I can get from ds. but the arena itself is perfect and I didn't think it was a bad buy for £12.00 :)

The only trouble is that I wasn't collecting Romans.... I just saw this shortly before it ended and got carried away!....now I'll have to look for more - wish Junior hadn't lost his trainers, I could have used that money for more Playmobil >:D
-
That's a great buy for £12!
I must admit I have been looking at these Roman arenas as they look very fun, but that would be breaking my rule of just collecting modern :-[
And then, like you, I'd have to buy all the other sets to go with it 8}
Damn Playmobil's marketing strategies! >:D

Congratulations on an excellent acquisition, Elaine :yup:! BTW, what are "trainers" :hmm:? I know here, we use training pants or padded disposable underwear for small children to prevent accidents while potty training :-[!
-
Excellent aquisition Elaine!
If you don't feel like starting on the romans I am sure there are people here who wouldnt mind taking it of your hands for the right price *wink* (just kidding)
Bill: trainers are general sport shoes.

Over here, Bill, we've never heard the alternative meaning of the word. As someone said, two countries separated by a common language.

Congratulations, Elaine, on a great buy at a bargain price. Romans will follow as night follows day.

12 GBP!!! What a deal!!! I have two of them, mostly becuase i wanted the columns and red/black tribune and the gladiators... But your deal was great Elaine!! Congratulations!!!

Seven parcels still unaccounted for...
Great price for that Arena, that's how we all get involved in themes we don't even collect!

As I said on another thread, I was freaked out when I sat down & actually added all of the money I set aside weekly including shipping for all of the parts, incomplete sets, MIB items on eBay along with toy shop purchases! $100.00 to $125.00 UDS a week was normal :o!
-
A nice feeling Elaine! I got paranoid about my poor parcel delivery man at one time and then realised I was keeping him in a job!
I just like so many different themes, but it is terrible to keep buying from different lines...makes you need MORE!

Congratulations on your purchases Elaine! :wave: Thank you Gies for your explanation of trainers, like Bill my mental images were unsettling. :lol: :lol:
