Shopping @ FunPark
« on: December 18, 2011, 18:50:35 »
Ok gang... a few things I got at the FunPark the other day... I REALLY had to control myself! I was aching for some of the new cavemen series...  Not pictured is Scaffolding 7333, they were on clearance for under $2, so I got 8 sets (all they had left!) I'm planning on using them to display some of my collection... anyway, here are the photos...

PM 4292 - I've wanted to get this set for a long time.


PM 5131 - Really cool little fishing boat (the knots and snags on the fishing line were my fault!)


PM 7682 - Operating Room. The "blanket" had some scuffs and scratches on it, I think you can see it in the photo. The IV drip had no tube/line to connected to the patient. Oh well... sad enough, what I like the most about this set is the yellow jars/bottles.


PM 7778 - Dentist's Office. I really like the chair and how all the parts connect and move together. The only "ooops" is that the patient's bib does NOT fit the little kid that's included in the set: it's too big and it keeps falling off. But it fits an adult size figure perfectly.


PM 5113 & 5118 - Custom Motorcycles. 2 out of a series of 6. I might get the rest...


Now, my favorite purchase from this trip... I was about to purchase it online that morning. I'm glad I didn't.  :xmascheer:

Congratulations! I got that pirate crew set yesterday through the mail, great set.  :)

I'd gues they have great morphine in that operating room considering the big smile on the patient despite the doctor coming at him with a knife.  ;)

EmGee,
Great finds at the FL FP! Way to go!
We hope to make it down there again sometime this spring.
Did you notice anything else rare on their shelves?
Thanks, Pgal

Nice finds, EmGee! I always wanted that operation room set, with the grinning patient and doctor  :lol:! My only question is how you got the new fishing boat and motorcycles ???. I thought they wern't out in the U.S yet, so I checked the Playmobil USA website, and they're not up yet.

The Funpark in Palm Beach Gardens gets the new releases well before anywhere else in the USA.  8-)

Were the new DS items there?

Congrats on these fine purchases, EmGee! I'm assuming the operating room and dentists office weren't in the box - you got them off of DS, right? <*)

I agree that the PM Collector book is especially helpful when trying to identify or date a set. Nice purchases!
