Red hot Legos
« on: August 17, 2014, 14:46:36 »
I often wonder about auctions and why so many new sets get sold cheaply. If this happens with big brands then in Europe it must happen with playmobil. I can just imagine a mafia chasing down a blue truck on the highway

I often also wonder about all the endless auctions from Malta of random opened sets in high numbers.

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:

Toys are definitely a hot commodity - I'd hate to think what the authorities would make of all the new Playmobil sets some of us recently bought for a legit "steal" at ToysRUs, not to mention all the other sets we've collected.  Better keep the cops away from your barn, Rasputin!   :lol:   

Too bad CNN couldn't find a photo of actual LEGOs to run with that story you linked to (the ones in the photo all appear to be knock-offs - now there's another story.  ;) )

Will there come a time when toy shops display only empty boxes (as with CDs/DVDs in some shops)?  8}

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)
