Great additions. The house looks to be very useful and I really like those old garbage trucks, I still need to get one for myself some time.

Those are great additions (and awesome bargains :) )

Thanks the truck certainly is when you consider the condition the turck's in and how much I'd have paid for it through the DS catalogue or indeed somewhere like Ebay it would probably cost a fair bob and the DS one only comes with 2 figures. 

The house itself is from the 4055 Mega Farm Set:

http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4055

It originally came with a barn storage area above it.

They are great walls and windows, and amongst my most-used building parts; I really like them.

Uh  :o I like very much looks like a really good set and with a big tractor (love tractor's) and harvester , loads of tools and everything  :love: shouldn't have shown me that! At least it explains the red frame which it appears should a window in it and confirms my suspicions that the walls would look much improved with the addition of some greenery or window boxes as in the set to cover the holes up. Amazing how much they've managed to fit in and still make it look fairly spacious.

Thanks of all my purchases I think my Fire Engine has got to be one of my favourite and most treasured finds but, I think the truck, helicopter and the pirate ship once restored have got to come a close joint 2nd although it goes without saying some of the smaller vehicles such as the motorbikes are really great as well and taring nothing away from all the great klickies I've bought.

Anyway going off point,I've got my modern recycling truck as well which I bought create the first two members of the BTCV Mini Carbon Army way back when I love them both the modern one's very realistic but, there's something about the 80's/90's vehicles they look realistic but, with that old retro distinctly I'm Playmobil and proud of it sort of element to them  :love: Of course the fact that it's in such beautifully nearly new condition that adds tot the appeal

Great additions. The house looks to be very useful and I really like those old garbage trucks, I still need to get one for myself some time.
     

Thanks the house is a start, ideally would be great to get some parts at some points to add to the living space and add some greenery outside, first though if it's going to make any klicky a home then it'll need more furniture and appliances e.g. for a kitchen.  The garbage truck as I've said above is great a real favourite and great addition to any collection, oh and it doesn't seem to take up much space  ;) :D with a bit of refiddling I might even be able to make some space to display it on my shelves next to my Fire Engine which would be very appropriate considering they're both from the same or at least a very similar era

Ok it's been quite a while since I've actually got round to uploading photos and I have bought a few things since I last uploaded photos.

So one of the things I bought a while ago was this taxi

 

Certainly not my favourite vehicle when compared with my 1980's/1990's Fire Engine, Helicopter, Garbage Truck but, hey it's a perfectly nice small vehicle, for £4 it's a nice little addition particularly if I ever get to the stage where I can make a city set up 





At the same time I also bought some bugs ...

and I bought this Fireman and the guy in the tshirt with the BBQ. I wasn't to bothered about the Fireman but, I figured for the price his accessories and gear would be useful for my existing crew. I bought the BBQ mainly for the BBQ itself and the food to cook on it should be able to take some good photos next time we have a BBQ or go camping but, I also quite like the guy manning it looks like he's exchanging cooking tips with my old Chef  ;)

 

I also picked up some bits from a charity shop a while back decided as I sometimes do to have a rummage in a box full of assorted pieces lots of horses and stuff like that and found a couple of Playmobil bits so I kept on digging around until I could be reasonably sure I'd picked out all the Playmobil worth saving and showed it to the person on the till let me have it for about 50p. Ok so there's not much of any great value in there lots of bits which need to be paired up but, some interesting bits like the Snowman, Polar gloves, flask, hats, sextant oh and none Playmobil book and raspberry juice  ;D. Annoyingly I found an Angels halo/head band which must have got dropped or slipped out of my bag which was annoying since my Angels halo had got snapped before this point 



Some of the stuff being modelled/tested:

Before that I got some more Pirates:

 

Not that I need more Pirates but, I think that one of them possibly the Captain came with the chimp and one of them came with the parrot, the cannon and ammunition are useful particularly when I've got a ship in working order and it fires quite well and looks more realistic than the modern ones and treasure is always appreciated.



Been a long time since I've had a Playmobil chimp but, you've got to love those cheeky little Monkeys  ;D

Some comparisons cannons actually not all that dissimilar looking but, the old one does look better for not having a child friendly unrealistic rubber missile in it

 

I'm not sure if there's enough room for two Pirate Captain's  :captain: :arrr:

 

Then again if you've both got good ale and treasure maps why not just be friends I mean after all the new Captain's rather outnumbered



There's treasure and ale a plenty everyone's happy at least for now  :**:

My LEGO Pirate's not quite sure what to make of the chimp, he seems friendly enough though

 

The parrot on the other hand is certainly popular and much as I'm fond of the old two colour parrots they've certainly improved the parrots appearance in recent times great colours and much better facial detail

Great additions :)

The book and the bottle aren't playmobil (and the lego lance) but they're gorgeous!

Thanks I resisted a lot of the non Playmobil bits in the box but,I figured those bits were about the right scale and I liked them particularly the raspberry juice  :)  although they're to thick for a klicky to hold so they'll just have to pretend and you never know when another LEGO lance might be useful or could sell it not that it would make much on its own. The enormous Playmobil saddle's weird though
