Title: 3750 gift
Post by: Wolf Knight on August 19, 2010, 22:25:13
A few months ago I asked for the instuctions of the 3750 ship! Gordon was kind and helpfull to send them to me!! Thanks again Gordon!!!

I needed these instructions so that I could send one of my 3750 pirate ships to a friend of mine in Athens who grew up deprived of his wish to own a 3550 ship! He is today 38 years old and I think he is about to rediscover his childhood!!!!

I knew for a fact that he had a 3480 - Pirates (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3480) set and I also knew that he did not like the more recent klickies...so, despite the few differences between the ships, here is his 3750 ship with an older klicky crew!!!!

The photos are shaky but i think he was very emotional....

Thanks Gis!! Maybe its just me, but I think if there is a gap (in my friend's case the fact that he did never got a ship) you always feel a little empty...


Register this guy in our forum Panos!!!

I think, Gis and Angelo, that he would not have the time to participate in our forum. His profession obligates him to work crazy hours...But he does have a great vault of complete and in perfect condition playmobil sets from childhood!!! Those would be great to share in pictures!!! I'll ask him to take a few photos of them when he can!

Thanks Andy!  :) As I said, I know how it feels to have a gap... One needs to close it so that he/she can move on with life, or treasure the filling of this gap as part of his/her life!

That was a superb and very generous gift, Panos, and I am glad that I was able to be of help.

Yes it was Gordon!!! And your contribution was very important as he had no clue of how to put it together! Not to mention it made shipping easier, as far as the size of the package was concerned, and the fact that he had so much fun putting it together himself!!!

More importantly, I know how much my friend will appreciate it and treasure it!!!

A very nice gift Panos, and still my favorite Playmobil ship, despite 3286 having more guns. Interesting that your friend does not like the newer pirates.

Thanks Martin!!

Well, he prefers to remember things, in this case playmobil, the way they used to be! Modern klickies are .... well, too modern for him! He still likes the various themes and all the colours but he is not at all thrilled with them!

That would be great Baden, but as I wrote earlier he is a very busy man and I doubt he would!
