Toyshop bargains
« on: June 24, 2010, 19:39:53 »
Hello :wave:

We were out for the day today, and popped into a small toyshop, and I thought I'd share my latest buys with you.

Firstly two footballer players; from Spain and Germany. I haven't opened them yet but they look great fun, and I have never seen these in a shop before. These cost £3.25 each :)

And lastly is a 3666. We managed to knock £10 of the price, as the original seals were broken, but at close inspection at home, everything appears to be there and all sealed/bundled inside. Ahhh, the smell of fresh steck :love: :love: :love:

I have already got a 3666, which is unboxed and missing 1 figure and a couple of small accessories but includes the instructions if anyone is interested as I don't need two.

Although I havent really decided whether to sell my old one or this one I've just bought as it was a quick decision. What do you think I should do?





Damo :)

Well I don't really need two castles the same, and I have enough Steck to build something with, and plus it keeps Mum happy that when I buy Playmo I get rid of some to make room :)

I use the same ploy with Diane.   :)

Yeah, but why get rid of something the same size and not something smaller?  >:D

Nice buys. Especially the 3666. You´ll be hard pressed to find one over here at a toyshop, still in the box.

I have now decided that I am going to sell my old 3666, which I payed £5 for, and this new one which I payed £110 for, it will balance itself out as I should get £50-£60 for my old one on ebay :)

Primarily I am a modern collector, but I like to have a couple of castles and a few loose Steck parts, but I do not need 2 castles the same :)

I have got too much Steck! ;D

It's a variation of an old saying meaning that when the news that you have Steck to get rid of gets out everyone (i.e. lots of people) will be interested.
