Excellent free haul! What a nice shop owner to give it away for free.

I asked this morning in the local toy store about the rock castle diorama...It seems that playmobil sends people setting up the thing and then they come back, dismantling it, setting up a new theme, and take it away with them !?!?!?!?!?!?  >:(
Very strange....

I knew a fellow who kept a full sized mannequin in his apartment and moved it around occasionally for security so his apartment always seemed occupied.



Hmmm ... Believe it or not, the attached picture is a life sized mannequin!

Wonder if the full sized mannequin, owned by the fellow you knew, looked at all like the one in the attachment, Gepetto? ...  :klickygrin:
