Title: 2 new mexican aurimat sets
Post by: cachalote on March 20, 2015, 23:57:12

although this could be posted in the collector's corner, the fact that these sets are not listed anywhere else made me start a new topic in this section.
"anywhere" includes the collector "bible".
they are:
- 13909 - http://www.klickypedia.com/sets/13909-aur-pirate-bandits-set/
- 13792 - http://www.klickypedia.com/sets/13792-aur-pirate-fishing/
the second one is not that exciting.
but the first one is somehow original (5 figures, a blue pirate).
in the middle of my "explorations" helping klickypedia growing bigger i also found some images of one rarity
- 13570 / mattel - http://www.klickypedia.com/sets/13570-xat-pirate-with-rowboat-and-treasure/

by the way, i am back (sort of)

hello rasputin,
i missed you too.
i do really love south american sets.
everyone sees only their faaults (poor plastic, contents not matching the box, etc.) but i see a kind of amateurish beauty on them that sometimes german sets lack.
if you look at the skin color of this mexican mattel set you can see it is much lighter - as if they decided to save some money in the pink pigment or the machine that made it was out of tune.
this "defects" make them unique - diamonds instead of stones.
they all are for sale in mercadolibre.com.mx (it's like a mexican ebay) except for the 13909 - already bought by a friend from klickywelt who asked me to tell him where i had found it.
if we all share information we will all live better, i think.
that's what i liked in klickypedia and that's what (sort of) made me come back.
sort of because i don't know if i have the time to be a regular member.

hello karim,
it's also nice to hear from you.
i used your baudelaire signature recently in one of my works - a 18th century house facing the sea with a garden filled with trees.
thank you for that.  :)
