Hello :wave:
Yesterday, while I was in Kent, I popped into an old shop where I bought the following sets:

Actually, I bought one of the police car sets there last year, and have been kicking myself eversince for not buying the iother one as well. But while I was down that way again, I thought I would pop in and see if the other one was still there - which it was :D
OK the boxes are a bit faded, but they have done well considering they have been there for 20 years! :lol:
The 123 ambulance I wasn't planning on getting, but I couldn't leave it there all on it's own so I bought it too.
And in fact, I am quite impressed with the box:

It's my first 123 set that I have actually gone and bought, and I just love the feel of the box, and how it has a lift up lid to display the contents :love:
Are the latest 123 boxes still made like this? ???
The police cars were both £13.25 each, and the 123 £9.50.

How do you do it, Damo? Wherever you go, old Playmobil at silly prices appears! If I could find a jealous icon, I'd add it to this post, but as I can't I'll say, "Congratulations no your good luck yet again!"

Yes 'Congratulations' Damo
I'm lucky if I find a shop selling any Playmobil, never mind any old sets!

:lol: This was just pure luck, and my first to find sets this old. I am still kicking myself for not buying some old Playmospace sets I saw in a giftshop in Menorca once, but oh well :(

My gosh!! This is one of my favourite sets!! So old!! I'd have to agree with Elaine and Gordon!! Its amazing how you manage to find these!!!

Congratulations on these excellent finds! (and with your birthday of course :bdaycake:)
This makes me curious, what are you going to "do" with 2 of these police cars?

Leave them sealed, in my cupboard 0) >:D :lol:
Although I might in time open the one with the tattier box, as I have never found a mint one of these cars (the stickers are always wonky, broken window clips etc)
