The Mission! Tales of a wheeler dealer

[DrDalek6]

More great stuff there I love the chimps they're just so cute  , the rest of the sets are all great liking the medieval ones the buildings are great some nice figures and accessories there, Western sets also look great but, I've never seen that medical set before it's very interesting

@DrDalek: me neither! I nearly threw away some parts because I didn't think it was Playmobil!

@Rasputin: I have several good reasons to sell off stuff that isn't in my wishlist (Western). The most important ones being financial (I can't afford to just buy and buy and buy) and the fact that I have a wife that - although she is amused by my hobby - refuses to let the house become a Playmobil shrine

So...onwards! We're almost at the end of this great Playmobil treasure. Today just two sets to show you. But they are in my collection and these babies will not be sold

12. Artillery Battery
This set is almost complete. Well almost..the holsters on the soldiers were all broken and of course not all cannon balls are there. The cannon ball container is also MIA. Still nothing I won't be able to dig up on the internet or in my box of spare parts!

Request: If anyone has a spare horse of this exact colour, let me know - I am looking for one and they seem quite rare



13. Fort Bravo
Here she is! The main reason I bought this lot! Nearly complete as well, only the holsters on the soldiers were all broken... It seems these holsters are made from a type of plastic that really wears down soon and just breaks. Bad move Geobra! Oh..and the little thing that goes on the horse's head is missing too. I mistakenly placed one on from the Artillery set on it, not realizing it was the wrong colour.

What I found really puzzling was the two little black parts you see pictured below next to the ladders (© Sir Gareth)



Do you know what they are used for?

It took me a few minutes of staring before it dawned on me. They go on the door bar to make sure it doesn't slide off. I never knew that!



There's a few more things still for sorting, but this was the most interesting stuff in there. I'll post pics of whatever I can fabricate of the remaining stuff of course. Then, its the challenge of seeing if I can find anyone interested in buying the stuff I don't want (Read: the wife doesn't allow me to keep) Will I break even? Or even better, will it create additional funds for buying more playmo? We'll see!
