Before I show you the result of this little 'event' today, I would like to tell you the story of how it happened.
Right, I am driving down a busy town high street with my driving instructor on a lesson, slowly going in second gear stuck behind some youth in the middle of the road on a bicycle.
Something catches the corner of my eye in one of the shop windows; the charity shop to be precise.
Imagine like in a film, slowly driving past, mouth agape, whilst scaring my instructor sensless from my exclamation.
I kindly request that we pull over so that I can go on a 'mission' ;)
So, we pull over in a bus stop a little down the high street, and I make a break for the shop, which being 5:30, was closed by now.
I can see lights still on, and some old women over by the till. I banged on the door until a startled old lady came to unlock it and give me the lecture of 'I'm sorry but we are closed!'
I proceed in explaining that I must by this in the window, and I'll pay you whatever, but I must have it!
Anyway, the box was taken to the till, and the ticket price of £20 was handed over.
I left feeling rather happy ;)

And this was what I saw in the window!

In the box, we can see that there is a lot more than just the Merry men's feast!

The set is missing one chick, and two Klickies, with the third being brutally attacked. But all the rare stuff was there which was most important :)

And here is a close up of all the odds

The purple knights set is just missing the jousting pole and shield, and the executioner just the dagger
I just can't believe my luck sometimes! 8} 8} 8}

I never knew that dude in the black armour was a special as well - and he is complete! :yippee:
I've now added a dagger from my spares to complete the executioner, and the brown shield for the purple knights :)

Yes, only you Damo. Maybe you should start hiring out as a Playmo bloodhound?

And I was imagining you on that mission in an orange overall, black shades and with a ruddy cat by your side. Quite cool 8-)
Seriously, I've had that set in my hand so many times when I was young, deciding wether or not to buy it. Unfortunately, I never did :( The tree and the barrel alone are so worth it! Great find, congratz ;D
-
Damo strikes again! :lol:
-
Now I've found my voice .....
Well spotted Damo :clap: - Just remember to watch the road when you take your driving test :lol:
At least I don't feel guilty now about the one I outbid you on some time ago ;D

Great find, cheers!! :**:
Some parts of what happened remind me of something :o
A charity shop... some old women at the till...
Royston Vasey... again?! :omg:
Did the playmo "have a special mark on it" and did they "put it in a bag?" ;D
-
Wow, that's incredible!!!! Congratulations! :D
-
Damo, you are like a playmobil magnet! Send us some of your luck!
-
Damo, how on earth do you do it?! It's unbelievable! I'm soooo jealous! :lol:
-
congratulations, a great story.

I agree with bonniebeth: How in Hades do you do that?!

Although I don't have that set, the Merry Men's feast is one of my all-time favorites :inlove:! Congratulations, Damo :clap:

What a great story Damo. Congrats on the Merry Men's Feast and getting your license. :wave:
-
I laughed so hard-imagine what the driving instructor must have thought! Priceless. :lol:
A great find and I think I might have a jousting pole spare. :yup:

Which klickies are you missing Damo - is it the knight on horseback and the lady in blue and white?
I know I haven't got a spare lady in green because I sent that to Jenna, but I'll see if I have the others.
I have had a couple of merry mens feast sets but not all complete, but may have them. Give me a few days to look as I have a busy weekend ahead and my klickies haven't been sorted out yet!

Just had a quick glance and I've got the knight in blue spare - not sure about his spurs or helmet though at the moment.... I'll carry on looking!

ooh thank you ever so much Elaine - I didn't know where to begin looking for these missing folk 8}
Yes I am missing the blue knight, the white and red woman, and my green lady is heavily mauled!
Damo :)

Congratz Damo, great set and the extra parts were also very nice IMO.
Please share the reaction from the drving instructor :)
