Great stuff that jeep and trailer set always looked good as a kid after all you're getting the jeep, trailer and at least 2 bikes with space for more perfect start for a race settup, like those 2 solider with that briefcase and those 2 old bikers have got character.

Again some very nice additions to my collection, found these through a Dutch online marketplace called "Marktplaats" and were from another collector who had to make some space:
3641 - Daredevils; 3401 - Policemen; 3565 - motorcycle; 3478 - Motorbike transport
The last 2 sets i allready have, but the first 2 are really great.





The boxes aren't very good, but the sets are. Especially the color set is pretty hard to find complete and for a decent price.

last week our courier arrived with a couple of boxes from Germany again.
At first it was a big stockpile of large boxes, which after unpacking it all shrunk to this:




Found some real treasures again. I wasn't into knights or Castle stuff really, but after seeing some very nice specials and knights, i couldn't resist myself and started to collect some special editions and only those i personally like.
more pics later on.

The large red box on the rear, contains another system-x store as parts for my motorcycle shop&garage
The big box next to that, is filled with large lots of parts. All need washing and sorting out. The box in front of that has a lot of MISB sets and boxes, so nice :-)
Also found a MIB Franky's for only €13  ;D  Next to that are some MIB sets, some opened more carefully than others, but the contents are great.

My wife recently came up with a great idea. She stood before me with a very big smile and those enchanting and possibly deceiving eyes. Still haven't figured that out completely....  8} :P
Anyway, i decided a while ago to complete and collect all Fi?ure series, because i really like them. Due to our lack of display-space and the klickies all being stored inside boxes, she decided changes were needed in our home.

Yeah, she asked me what i thought of here grand ideas, but i have a distinct feeling there was nothing to decide on my part....  ;D :lol:

W:"What if, we would buy two display cabinets or vitrines for in our living room"....
me:"yes..."
W:"well, you could then display all your PM figures and specials inside it and i could store all the childrens dvd's etc. out of sight"
me: (cautious/alarmed)"yes...."
W:(with even bigger smile)"well, the only thing would be, that wouldn't fit on this side of the room. So, i thought, let's buy a new tv-cabinet and 2 large bookcases with partly wood, part glass doors next to it. We could sell the old one. Isn't that a great idea?"
me:"yes, it is. What's the catch?"
W:"no catch, nice of me isn't it? Well, we would only have to turn around the whole living area 180°"

So, after 4 days of work i have my own display for all my Playmo Klickies:




Why the four days of work you think?
First we needed to completely empty out four years of accumulated stuff out of our former tv-cabinet. and that one was huge.
Then we needed to build all the new ones, and place them on this side. There were 2 large couches on this end, which had to be moved to the other side.
This side only had 1 wallsocket. So i had to construct a complete wall-mounted new power distribution net on this wall. (that's the white rail running just above floor level). this could also house all cables, like tv- and my network cables.
I also had a couple of shifts at work
After all was finished we had to get all the stuff back inside the lowerparts of the cabinets.

all i need to do now, is build a podium inside the Fi?ures level, so they all raise about 5cm's each next row, build some lighting inside and get all my klickies inside :-)
Not the best picture, but it gives you a little idea:
