Title: My recently updated Specials shelf
Post by: flatcat on June 07, 2011, 15:56:38
When my room was redone, my specials shelf had to come down, and 4 months later I have only just got it back up ::)

There are now lot's more new ones on it, and a load from Socrates :)

In this tub I keep all the incomplete specials, as I only just have enough room on the shelf for complete ones:

I've never separated mine out, they are all mixed in somewhere. What parts do you need for the chimney sweep and the French soldier? I have extra bits from breaking some up for customs.

Hi Tim :wave:

From the chimney sweep, I'm missing his ladder, and the rope with the bits on, and from the French soldier, I'm missing his cuffs, the bayonet for his rifle, his sword, sword shoulder holder sling, and as an extra (but proably not available) is a replacement collar, as his one has been chewed ::)

I'm afraid it's a long list, but if you have any of these I would be very pleased :-[

Nice display, Damo.

I can do the ladder for the sweep and I did have the rope and other bits but I'm not sure I still have them.

For the French soldier, I'm pretty certain I've got the bayonet and the cuffs.

What do you lack for the fireman?

Hi Gordon :wave:

From the fireman I am missing his visor, rope, torch and axe. It's not that bigger deal that I complete him, as I already have a complete one on my shelf, but it would be nice to none the less.

Damo :)

 :lol: Tuesday Morning is a discount store, you know, the kind that sells off surplus stock from other stores. Anyway they have loads of specials for.... $1.99? I think? or 2.50. something like that.

I would have expected a specials shelf from a collector like yourself to be maybe 10 times larger  :hmm: You have a big collection of so much playmobil but few specials  8}

Damo, do you need anything for the pirate with the green torso, the ghost pirate and the joker?

Thanks for the offer, but the only thing is is that I'd still have an incomplete chimney sweep! :lol:

Hi Panos :wave:

From the green pirate I am only missing 1x cuff, from the joker I am missing only his mirror, and from the ghost pirate I am missing the dagger, the sword, and the clip bits that hold them onto his sling.

I'll get the bits sorted out this week.

Nice collection Damo  :yup:
Is that all your other specials sorted out now or will you still have some incomplete ones?
Can you show us a photo of any incomplete ones and I'll see if I have any spare bits.

Sorry it took so long
I definitely have the ladder, rope, and mechanical bits for the sweep here and set aside for you.
For the French soldier I have the sword holder and sword, but only one cuff and no bayonet. Gordon said he has the cuffs and bayonet though so you could get them from him?

Haven't found the cuffs yet - they are in a box marked as clothing which I haven't found.


I'l afraid the bayonet is the wrong sort, Damo.  Sorry to disappoint you.

Got them, Damo.  I'll get them off to you this week (by then I may have found the Royal Guard's cuffs!).

Also, did you mention you might have a bayonet for the soldier?

Is there anything you are looking for to trade?

No, just trying to get rid of what I don't want!

I will double check on that bayonet. I ran across a few klickies I had cracked for a project and put into an odd box. I believe there was one of these. Will let you know.
Title: Re: My recently updated Specials shelf
Post by: Tiermann on June 14, 2011, 18:01:58
Yep, have added the bayonet to your package. I will try to get it off in the next couple of days.
