My most expensive purchase ever! For now that is :)
« on: April 24, 2013, 21:45:22 »
A new haul just arrived and I was particularly happy with its contents. It cost me an arm and a leg and THE look from the wife  ::) but I think its worth it. Western fans will probably spot the reason why this one was quite an investment...











Not everything was 100% complete, but it sure came close.

- From Fort Union, both ladders are missing
- The Sheriff's office's jail is broken
- One hinge on the blacksmith is broken
- Other small bits and pieces are missing but that's nothing I won't find in my spare parts boxes.
- The rotating thingy on the well is (as always) broken
- The cannon is (as always) broken somewhere

All in all, a very good day!

nice blacksmith building, the oven is great and an item I sure wish they included in a recent mystery re-released set. The buckboard, if that is what it is called, is also a great part.

Very nice western lot you picked up.

I for some reason really like all the old buildings but not the klickies, I prefer the newer ones w/classic buildings.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Wow, great scores.  I'm super jealous.  I agree with Ras, there is something about those older western buildings.  They just have a better look than the modern ones. 
Ah yes, the dreaded look.  Been there a few times when some random package arrives at the front door.  8}

Yes, I've experienced that look more than a few times ...   ;)

Very nice sets.

I am in agreement with you there Ras. When I set up a little town or diorama, I use recent klickies. But sometimes, putting together some old ones has its charm :) These old buildings are 'better' than the new ones imho. I think it has to do with the scale of them. The more recent Saloon and Sheriff's office for instance seem so big and bulky!

Great purchase :love:

I too am fond of those ancient western buildings. Not that I don't like the assembly ones, but they do have their charm!
