Here is the surprise I mentioned in this thread
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=6017.90This comes with a story.
In 2008 (one year before I came back to collecting) I was walking through an unfamiliar street in Buenos Aires, on my way to a friend's house. Walking, minding my own business, I spotted the window of the weirdest shop I've ever seen.
This shop had two display windows, for they sell two types of merchandise.... kids toys on one side and women's lingerie on the other
.
Funny enough it was the toy section that caught my attention
More specifically a playmobil box, it's colors very faded for being on the window for too long. It was a Mobil Crane. I hadn't seen a Playmobil in maybe 5 years by then and I really liked the box. Anyway... going back to Playmobil was not even on my mind yet, so I walked away.
Last week...3 years later, by chance I found the shop again and eventhough it was closed I went to see the windows looking for that crane I liked so much. It was not there. But looking inside of the shop, behind the counter I spotted it. So a few days later I went back and................................... here it is
I was very surprised to find it and more surprised to find out it is ANTEX. Of course I bought it anyway for ANTEX from 1992 was better than nowadays ANTEX.
The quality is very good, though not perfect. One important part is missing and the clickies' arms and hands are horrible. oh and the strings for the hooks were blue
, but I fixed everything, except the missing part.
Nevertheless...I'm in love with this set....I'm so happy! It was like love at first sight!
