That's probably a good idea - do not buy anything on a whim but have them hold for the next day and that gives you the night to think about it.

Post by: PlaymoMan on September 04, 2011, 00:56:53: UPDATE (again): We've had to delay our trip to St. Jacob's - twice. We're going tomorrow (hopefully)...

Post by: cheng on September 04, 2011, 02:29:09: would you believe I am glad in a way that there's no stores here selling PM? its not sour grapes ;) just that the thrill of getting more diminishes (for me at least) the easier i can get them :P ...and my collection would have been maybe 4 times what i have today (and no chance to trade/sell off locally) :)
so while i happily read threads like yours....with envy, yet with much gladness...sounds weird?

I thought you had said before that toys r us there had Playmobil?
Title: Re: Just another Playmo-Day...
Post by: PlaymoMan on September 04, 2011, 20:48:09: UPDATE: Two things. One - a family came by our place and took a little look. They had two kids, one was heading in to SK (senior kindergarten) and the other was still in preschool. Neither of them had ever discovered the joy of Playmobil before, so I let them play with some of my police...

Two - okay, this is the third time we've delayed our trip. Oh well, we're going tomorrow. :hmm:

Did they come by to look at your Playmobil?

(I'm thinking you're selling your house but couldn't resist!)
Title: Re: Just another Playmo-Day...
Post by: PlaymoMan on September 05, 2011, 12:57:43: Sorry I didn't clarify. They came by to look at our house, (It's for sale) although they probably didn't care about the house that they were perhaps going to buy, but more about my Playmobil ;)
Title: Re: Just another Playmo-Day...
Post by: PlaymoMan on September 05, 2011, 22:44:15: Alright, today we finally went to St. Jacob's. Luckily I took a lot of pics to entertain you guys. Here they are...enjoy! :)

We'll start at a toy store called "Toy Soup"...
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/JodiHosking/P9050155.jpg)
Yay! It has Playmobil!
