I couldn't resist getting this beautiful little set. I had owned it once as a kid, so that makes it double special for me. The good thing is, it came boxed! It sure brings back memories!

Upon opening the box, you always get that feeling...will the set be complete? What will be missing? Almost always, something is missing...
The good part was here that the really "rare" items, like the chain on which the cooking pot hangs , was there! So was the original roping used to tie up the gold sacks! Can you spot what is missing?

Besides the holster and pistol, and the wrong hat, the knife was also missing. I guess the previous owner didn't want his/her children playing with guns or knives!
Not to worry, I rummaged around my spare parts box and came up with worthy replacements!

Leaving me with this beautiful and complete set!

..the brown cap on the old miner on the furthest right, is very interesting...a bit similar to the blue driver's cap 30242730

Great set to get a hold of! The gold rush! Thank you for sharing the funny fashion transformation with us!

It's a great set for anyone who likes the theme, I bet it would combine very nicely with the goldmine. I never got to try since I only have this set which I purchased on sale when it was quite old but still in stores occasionly.
There's five knives and five pistols with the set, and I believe theres also a woodcutter's axe. Might be two guns instead of one as well but I am not sure.
And is it me or does the black clicky look slightly cross eyed? I blame the smell of the soup in that cauldron. ;)

I did receive an axe with the box but i thought it was an added bonus 8} Thanks for telling me this! The extra guns and knives..oh well, I can do without them, i'm not THAT much of a purist box collector ;)
