Thanks glad you like the new guys, I couldn't resist taking a photo of him using those big scissors

Thanks I'm certainly not one to argue with someone offering me a discount cetainly not on the money I get even with doing 1 or 2 gardening jobs and a bit of dole money to make up the difference it's only about £60 a week

Very nice purchases, great assortment!

Cool new stuff. Those Medieval figures are great.

Cool new stuff. Those Medieval figures are great.

Thanks I really like the archers particularly as I said the one with the yellow torso and green hat, I'm not so sure about the Knight there's bits I definately like such as the chain mail neck piece and the gold armour on the arms but, there's also bits I'm not so keen on like the fact that they chose not to extend the blue down the leg of the tunic  would probably like him more if he had a proper medieval sword

Got some new Playmobil sets first off I got this set 3834



It's a set I had when I was a kid which was part of the reason for buying it but, the main reason was to go with my other Arabian figures, since it's got that Aladin feel the maigc carpet and genie lamp goes quite well with the new genie set and mystery figure.

   

It's pretty much complete the only thing missing is the Arabian scroll (I put the other 2 handles in my box of bits and pieces since I've put the handles on the central bit you only really need one pair)
   


I still really like this set the magic carpet looks good pity about about the handles although I'm not sure whether there's a better alternative. I like the figure better than I thought he works well with the bare feet I like his turban and grey hair and beard.

I also bought set 5248 a while back and I finally opened it last Tuesday I had fun opening all the bags and trying not to lose anything while we were on our way to site in the van, I didn't bring the box so I only noticed when I'd got abck and looked at the box art that the bucket is meant to go on the front of the cannon not the blue hook on the horses harness  ah well easy mistake to make. I've taken loads of photos of them exploring the woods where we were working which I need to upload at some point I'll share the first few with you for the minute.



I really like this set I think it's got plenty of good accessories like the sleeping roll although it's abit fiddly trying to attach the roll and the gun to the back of the saddle. The horses are also beautiful complete with their Playmobil army brand  and great faces and manes.



I like the detail on all of the soldiers uniforms they look very smart with the cuffs and collars and the hats are all nice although I think it would have been nice if they'd given one or two of the guys a moustache, or stubble better yet some sideburns I do like the old clean shaven spiky haired faces but, it would just be nice to give them some variety



Again the wagon's a pretty nice looking bit of kit and the gun's got an Eagles crest on it which looks quite good, obviously the missiles aren't particularly accurate if you're a collector but, great fun for kids and good that you can slot them into the back of the wagon for storage, I wasn't sure what sort of missiles would look more accurate but, looking at the old sets I noticed that they used yellow cartridges/shells which I think look more accurate.

Lovely outdoor shots!

I've long wondered if that Arabic scroll actually says something, the way the Latin scroll does.
