I'M SO EXCITED!!!
« on: June 17, 2010, 09:31:14 »
Hello everyone :wave:

Look at what arrived last night from ebay! The lot had only been on ebay for a few minuites with a very reasonable buy it now price and so it was snapped up with no hesitation! <:>









So far I have sussed out that there is a pottery house, a tailors house, and an inn house. There is also an ambulance station, a fort, sheriffs office, numerous Nuremburg gaurd sets with cannons, hospital bits with ambulance, police car and mottorbikes with lots of policemen. Also lots of pirates :arrr:

All the sets seem to be in one block of the collectors book betwween '81 and '84, so the houses are late ones.

The condition is rather amazing, some of the white building parts are a bit off colour, and quite a few of the Klickies have been coloured in with pen but this seems to wash off with a good scrub. None of the sets are 100% complete, but there is a lot for each set.

I would like to request some help for putting the houses and sets together please, as I have no idea at all, and only have the little catalogue pics of the fronts to look at :P

Damo :)

Another great Damo catch from eBay!  Well done!   :)9 :)9 :)9

I think once you've sorted the parts into sets or partial sets, if you post further photos people can come in with ideas on missing parts etc.

Thanks, Gordon!

I am in the process of doing that today, and so far I have the ambulance station built, and half of the pottery and tailors houses from what I can see in pics, but I am struggling with how many roof windows, and who has chimmneys etc.

My eyes are going 8}

i will begin to take pics soon to aid completion and identification :)

My first vaguely complete set:



Only missing 1 sword and 8 cannonballs :)


I have enough Klickies and another cannon to make another one, with the left over shields and flags being in the alternative heraldry
