Nice assortment of sets there. I would not be able to part with any of it but that is just my addiction talking  ;)

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I know it has been a long time but have completed this 'project' and wanted to share the story of the last 6 months with you. 
I bought this lot of eBay with only this picture to go off:


It was collection only and this is what I arrived home with:

 :o

Over the next week I took over the lounge with playmo pieces spread everywhere trying to create some order.  Eventually it was sorted into the following (over 50 sets):
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl?setlist=3118%0D%0A3713%0D%0A3840%0D%0A4430%0D%0A5313%0D%0A5316%0D%0A5326%0D%0A3196%0D%0A3208%0D%0A3209%0D%0A3604%0D%0A3638%0D%0A3896%0D%0A3985%0D%0A4150%0D%0A4619%0D%0A5581%0D%0A5620
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl?setlist=3074%0D%0A3114%0D%0A3230%0D%0A3317%0D%0A3714%0D%0A3996%0D%0A4430%0D%0A4617%0D%0A5300%0D%0A3008%0D%0A3030%0D%0A3069%0D%0A3084%0D%0A3119%0D%0A3124%0D%0A3153%0D%0A3157%0D%0A3200%0D%0A3201%0D%0A3668%0D%0A3669%0D%0A3730%0D%0A3890%0D%0A3895%0D%0A3931%0D%0A3955%0D%0A3997%0D%0A5312%0D%0A5322%0D%0A5324%0D%0A5325

Each was individually bagged with a post it note inside saying what the set was and what pieces were missing (I do like to be organised   ;))

This is what I ended up with:


I kept the sets on the first playmodb link and the second lot was going to be sold.  Many generous playmofriends made purchases (thanks guys) and the rest went on eBay over the last month in time for Christmas and as of yesterday have all been sold. :) 
It was lovely seeing some of the sets in Elaine's exhibition but my favourite story was from selling the mansion with room sets on eBay.  A grandmother bought it for her granddaughter because it was the house that her daughter always wanted.   :love: I thought that was really cute. 
Other unusual things were sending the viking sets to Argentina and some horses to Spain. 

It's been a new experience for me and if I had the time one I think I would enjoy doing again. 
And in case you were wondering the 'profits' so to speak were well spent on a 5305 with extension floor that I have been coveting for ages.   ;D

Great looking lot, I just do not see how you could have had it all and then sold it  :o
