Title: My Collection, so far
Post by: twconstantine on May 06, 2011, 01:22:39: I thought I'd show what I picked up for my girls for when they are at my house. I had my eye on the Egypt set for a LONG time, but when Toys R Us put them on clearance, and then knocked 20% off the whole set ended up being about $200, so why not?

At their mom's house (I'll take pictures later) they have the old Victorian house I think 5300, with all the Victorian furniture, the Ice Cream super set, the small animal clinic set, one of the savannah sets and a take along fairy set and a princess coach set.

And what's coming is the Large Empire Castle, Lion I think. And a lot of incomplete sets in the last picture.

Post by: lavandiere on May 06, 2011, 02:03:38: Nice collection! I really like that forest set... I might get it one day if it's on sale or clearance. Can't wait to see the pics of the Victorian sets as well. I too decided to take advantage of TRU's awesome deals; way too good to pass up. ;)

Warhammer is 28mm (meaning a six foot tall man is rendered at 28mm tall).

Post by: twconstantine on May 06, 2011, 19:46:56: Yeah, you really don't want to see how crazy I am with Warhammer...but in my defense I get it all for free, so my money is free for Playmobil!!
Title: Re: My Collection, so far
Post by: tonguello on May 06, 2011, 19:47:46: Thank you Wesley, so it is no good for playmo unless we are playing Gulliver! ;D
Nice things though.

I like the warhammer ancients rules.

It's a good thing you got it for free. That stuff is SO over-priced ...

I am a freelance artist. Sometimes, when I am into a hobby, I allow payment in toys ;D I have had a few of my comics published in the mini wargaming community and do a lot of work for a major online vendor.

I only wish I could have the same deal for Playmobil. That would be a dream job!!

That's funny. Actually, my last name is actually Constantine. :)

Here is an example of one of my comics. It's an original story set in the American old west, about a native American medicine man who is trying to bring about immortality for himself by killing millions of people. It's got zombies, and vampires and werewolves and all kinds of supernatural things the main character has to fight off in order to save the world.

Btw, the last playmo-pic on page 1 of this thread (the one with the pirate schooners, the modern house and the passenger aircraft), I'm pretty sure I saw that one in an ebay-listing some days ago, am I right?
