We are having a great time with it, too. :love: Chris is building an EMS/fire/police training academy, and it's quite awesome. Will post pics when it's finished, of course!

I hear that! I wish we had more money... could have gotten five more. :-[ On the other hand, we would probably literally drown in system x pieces at that point! :lol:

sounds great. That is an incredible deal. I am interested how you are gong to use the parts. Some of them are tricky to customize with.

Did they really have 5 more? I will have to go check our local store and perhaps others as well.

That deal is too good to not at least check the stores.

Thanks for the tip and good luck on the building, share those pictures...please

. . . That deal is too good to not at least check the stores. . .

So true!  Bonniebeth's great score sent me to TRU yesterday where I bought even more Playmobil that I don't need  ;D.  There weren't any schools but I did get 2 FAO soldiers for about $2 each, 2 half-price advent calendars, the big FAO Victorian set for $35, and some Series 4 figures at $2.39 (I will squeeze, poke, and fondle them in the comfort and privacy of my own home, then return any I don't want later.  ;))

ToysRUs has lots of sets on clearance now - looks like most of the dinosaurs, some western, and more I don't remember at the mment.  If there is a set you like, use the price checker and see if it's marked for clearance.  All sets, including clearance items, are still 20% off until Saturday, March 29

Yes, we were considering some dinosaurs until we found the schools. There are only two sets from that series I don't have; the one with the velociraptor, and the big T-rex/volcano set.

Ras, yes, they had five more! There was one on the sales floor, and they had seven in the warehouse. The guy who brought them out said he brought the ones that looked the best, and both boxes were very beat up and broken, so the others must look really bad. The pieces inside were fine though. The one on the sales floor had been opened, but nothing was missing.

And I think you'll be quite impressed with Chris's building. I know I am! :love: All those curved walls and specialty pieces are put to great use.

IF our store does not have any do you think there is a chance you could pick the 5 up for us? Not super important just wondering. Even though the walls are really thin system x its still great to have the parts.  :prays:

I really want to see what Chris made especially the way he used the stairs and the special wall pieces. They annoy me on how to use them.

You all are killing me with your awesome finds!  I haven't seen the FAO Schwarz sets at my TRU in a long time.  I guess Friday morning after I get off work I am going to venture to TRU!

And now I am hoping that they have the school building (mulitple of them) for that price.  I've come up with an idea for it.  And I also found that I have a $10 off purchase of $30 or more coupon for TRU that expires Saturday, so I've got to put that to good use :)
