PlayMoto's purchases and additions

[PlayMoto]

You're worse than me! 

 

That makes me FURIOUS. Usually we can stuff the set there at LEAST twice. It's completely wasteful. And careless.

Yeah indeed. I just opened up some newer sets today, and found that most of them like the 5438 and the new WWF sets are fully packed.
There was little room left inside the boxes, so i guess Geobra is keeping their word. 

Ohhh goody goody  waiting for the package delivery 

[PlayMoto]

I received another delivery last saturday. What i do, is buy a lot on Ebya Germany, have them ship it cheaply to a service inside Germany. The owner is Dutch and lives near the Dutch-German border. When he has just a few packages, he then repacks them and ships them to me from a Dutch post-office.
Or when it's a lot, he delivers them all at once. This usually happens once a month or so. Either way it gives me the option to buy form German sellers and save a huge ammount on shipping. My last shipment, saved me about €250 on shipping!

Well here goes, some pics of the boxes and some teasers on what i got:






This set was payed by my mother and grand-mother for my birthday. It is soooo gorgeous 


Boxes that were sent earlier through Dutch post earlier


MISB, received in this earlier shipment.


Also from the earlier shipment. The grey tub contains a system-x shop.


Bought in the USA, seller paid shipping as reimbursement for the badly packaged and damaged 5990 sets.


Boxes which arrived end of May from the USA and UK.


Stuff bought through local online-marketplace called Marktplaats.


Needless to say, i got some real bargains through Ebay, really unbelievable. I bought sets at rediculous cheap prices.
Also got some smaller bikes and sets at half the price they are in shops 
Well, got some unpacking and building to do.

lol hahaha i didn't see that at first Wesley.
No it isn't that, have to get a new pic of the opened box. Didn't have time to take the stuff out.

Yesterday visited a large modelrailway convention called "Eurospoor" in Utrecht, with my wife, son and his grandmother. Lots of railway-displays and lots of marketstalls with tons of ways to spend our money 

What i didn't expect is to come home with some decent buys for my collection and diorama for only €30:




Very nicely packaged, complete and in mint condition. Had to restrain myself from buying more though....He had so much more nice sets for sale.... (got his card though  )
