Salamander's Recent Purchases
« on: July 20, 2013, 21:54:08 »
I've made a few purchases recently, so I thought I'd start a topic to document them!

First, having never previously been interested in the motorcycles before, I recently read topics by mfrankena and Martin Milner showing their motorcycles, I decided I needed one.


Loved the grey colour of this one.

Also got a little go cart:




I purchased this seating section from DS for $12.99. Best deal ever! It's HUGE! I hadn't noticed from the DS picture that it had a clear 'roof' over part of it. I love this one.  :love:


I purchased the hotel floor addition (but not the whole hotel), though I haven't taken a picture of that. I love it! I'm not sure if I'll get the big set or not, but this portion is great.  And I may be the only person who likes the pink colour!  :lol: I also got the maid and bellhop extras. So many great little details with the maids cart.


Ice cream cart guy! Really like the little scoop! Sad that I missed out on the whole ice cream store a while back.



As I have recently come back to Playmobil after a few years away, I missed out on the early Figures. But luckily I have managed to get most of them. Made a trip to a store that recently found boxes of old stock and put them out at $1.99. I am pretty bad at doing the feeling method, so I've managed to wind up with duplicates of many of them, but this time I did quite well, and the only one I got wrong was I thought I was getting an Eygyptian, but ended up with a second Swiss girl.  I think this rounds out my figures. I also picked up several duplicates which I didn't open to hopefully use for trading down the road.

And so it begins....  :P

Great items... I missed that stadium stands too... on my idiotic years. Then again, would need a bunch of them, so maybe it was a good thing  :-[

That seating is pretty cool.

Did you get that at Canadian DS or USA DS?

I got it via the US DS. The Canadian site just doesn't seem to have the same deals as the US!  Currently the Canadian site has NO products listed under  "Best Buys", and doesn't even have sections for 'Discontinued', 'Last Chance' or 'Pick of the Month', like the US does.

We have none of those either.  >:(

i had never seen the go cart come as a boxed set, only as an easter egg - when was it released? :)
