congratulations, what a wonderful find.  Just out of curiosity, did you see an ad for it, with the playmobil listed as part of the sale, or did you just happen to drive by.  You must have had a difficult time staying calm as you were purchasing them. 

Looking forward to even more wonderful dioramas from you.

These are some great finds, and at a great price!!! Here in the US, though, no one would pay nearly that much for them at a garage sale. People are only willing to pay so much for things they find at a garage sale, no matter how much it's worth. That's probably why I have yet to see any PM at a garage sale here; anyone who knows what they're doing sells it on ebay.

WOW!! Just WOW!! Firstly, what a bargain, secondly, thanks for the pics of those boxes. Although I have some of them, its still great to see them again and again, every chance I get  ;D

Thank you all ! 

if you once start with collecting in boxes it´s over….they are just so nice to look at :love:

Wolf : i do want to build some of the houses with a second floor. you said you have some of them. did you ever build a second floor ? i want to build a second floor for the drugstore and the saloon. i am wondering which parts i need now…

Post by: Wolf Knight on October 30, 2011, 11:17:41

Yes the little roof is rare. And yes I have build a second floor building. I have placed the miners hotel on top of the saloon. I think you can see it in the Athens Western Diorama thread under the community events board and the diorama subboard, I think there are two threads with the pics.

Thx Wolf i will check out the pics again for the house !


i also must say that the haul is in fact more 80s than 70s. my mistake
