Was about to ask the same..

No well not quite  it's a pond it's at the RSPCA animal centre and it's part of the memorial garden I helped to build with BTCV last year, I started doing some voluntary work there alongside my other volunteering a couple of weeks back, I intend to take some photos of my little guys admiring our work and possibly even helping out

Ah, and here I thought everybody took their clickies to cemeteries. 

In a way thats kind of makes their smiles seem cruel, considering that they have eternal life and we don't.
Well unless someone treats them really bad.

Actually we walk from the area of Sheffield where I live called Crosspool over to Crookes where I can catch a bus pretty mcuh straight down to BTCV base and indeed to the RSPCA centre a couple of days a week and on the way we walk right past some allotments and Crookes cemetry but, no I understand what you mean. As for the smiles while ti's as you say if they've lived a good life then they can silently throw their heads back and have an evil laugh to themselves at how lucky they are to have eternal life  or if they've been cruelly mistreated or if they've just had a tough life they might eb like oh man how mcuh longer do we have to go on smiling like this my poor back's killing me  guess we'll just never know

Hello stopped off in some charity shops today and fortunately I looked up at the wall much to my surprise there were several bags of Playmobil up there 1 with some pirncesses and a King in it, 1 with a lady on horseback, 1 with a magician and these ...



I've wanted to get my guys a boat for a while now so they can join me on the pond so I'm dead excited about getting this neat litte purchase for £1.50 I still wouldn't mind getting a wooden pirate rowing boat but, hey this'll do nicely in the meanwhile



I also got this rather nice set for £1.75 judging by the lack of English on the box plus certain other clues I'd guess this was bought overseas probably in Malta



Looks like one of my gardeners has taken a liking to him, new Dad helping him brush his teeth and get ready for bed

Hello guys been a while since I've had anything new to add or at least since I've thought to upload some photos of the new purchases. First off I recieved an order of Playmobil parts the other week including some legs and a hair peice from on one of the Swan knights which I've already used for a custom figure who'll be introduced at some point



The legs I don't need at the minute but, the ones I did need were in with the set and I'm sure I'll use them at some point, the heads with glasses will be very useful for customising figure for the mini BTCV Carbon Army including a more accurate version of myself and the Swan knights and gear for the horse well I couldn't resist picking them up  I'll need to look out for the rest of the parts on Ebay inclduing a saddle to make the rider feel more comfortable.



One of my Police officers disagreed about the usefulness of these new legs 



"Yay no more jockey legs!" 



I also picked up these guys from the market they were meant to be 75P each or 3 for £2 but, the stall holder gave me 4 for £2 plus the Dragon Archer guy for £1.75 I think I wasn't going to correct them on the unexpected discount. I bought the Aisian guy for his legs the rest for no particular reason other than I liked them, love those hair styles whatever colour they're in and the guy with the curly hair the shrit in particular I really like but, I think out of all of them the Dragon Archer has got to be the best find he seems to be complete and in good nick lovely little fella

I also picked up this motorbike and helemt from a charity shop last weekend for £1.75



It didn't come with a rider and since this little guy had arrived as an extra with one of my orders and didn't have a vehicle to drive I decided he could have it at least until I can find the right figure now just need a visor for his helmet

I was going to say that about the charity shops. Thats one of the most discouraging things about living in the states. No matter where I go I cant find playmobil ANYWHERE. Its just not that popular which is sad 

I love looking at your collection. Its so much fun to see what other people have.
