beautiful sets outside our favourite themes
« on: June 15, 2010, 10:50:30 »
:-[ i just found this set on the playmo u.s. site that i had never seen before.
 :love: i just find it fantastic although it doesn't belong to my favourite theme - the pirates.
 :) so, i decided to start this thread.
 :) maybe some of us can post here links or pictures of sets that apparently nobody cares about but that are just beautiful.

That set looks gret and I must get one for my farm before they sell out (although they have been in the UK DS 'last chance to buy' section for about a year now) so no rush ;D

Here is one I found, also in the UK DS 'last chance to buy' section. It is quite a sweet set but last time I checked it was priced at something like £4.50 :o

There are so many sets i really find awesome though i dont buy.. a wise idead would be to buy such sets rather than over and over the same ones ( eg black lion knights, nuremberg guards etc)

i think all the playmobil animals are fantastic and really like the noe's ark...............

for some mysterious reason i bought this set last year...The bunny treehouse...I have placed it among other trees and animals, ponds, ducks...and i've also put a few characters of the enchanted forest on the left hand corner...I want to put a green table cloth underneath for a long time now, but somehow I never bothered to do so...
I find it very beautiful and picturesque!!!

At the moment I'm buying lots of things that I perhaps wouldn't otherwise buy because I think they will be good in our exhibition.
But one I did buy that I have always liked but that doesn't really go with anything I have is
the bobsleigh:

I bought the dove cote recently and actually I was disappointed with it because somehow the scale seemed wrong.  Admittedly I did have an oak tree delivered the same day and perhaps it was putting the two next to each other that made me think this way. 
I have also bought the bunnies' treehouse and love that although not the bunnies, however we went to a 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party' last Sunday and after that I thought I might like one of the bunnies to help make the Alice in Wonderland characters  ???

That bobsleigh looks a great little set, but not much fun if you don't have the rest of the winter theme

Perhaps I won't waste my money on the dove cote :-\

Here's one that I really love.



It's a 2004 Easter Egg (4915) from the year that all four easter eggs were jaw-dropping good. The knight was great, the pirate awesome, the Red Lady to die for ...
and somehow, this little gem was passed over and forgotten. I really like her and would love to see more people to do so.

Here's my favourite out of my usual theme set:

http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/catalogue.html

It's the beautiful pewter wine flagon and goblets which really makes it for me.

I did indeed, Gis, and thank you.  I'd tried to link directly through Collectobil.

Here's the right link:
