Lucky Playmobil Day
« on: August 10, 2015, 00:57:49 »
I started collecting Playmobil just when Fi?ures 7 was about dried up in my area. I managed to get the archer, scuba diver, & skateboarder from the Boys, but that was it. Today I went to the TRU in Monaca, Pennsylvania, & after rummaging through the Boys Fi?ures 8, discovered nine Series 7 at the very bottom of the stack; they hadn't been there previously, so when the storage rack was refilled, someone must've thrown the last of the store's 7s in first. The sign there said the BOGO 40% off was still happening, so I grabbed all 9. Turns out the sale WASN'T still on, bit since the signs were still up & I asked, I got the the sale price, all clickies at $1.79 each. A good luck day! I got 2 archers (always needed), 2 mafiosa (new for me), a King Neptune (YES!!! New for me & highly desired), a spaceman (new for me) a scuba diver (meh) & 2 skateboarders (BOO!!!) Getting King Neptune was cause for celebration, so I'm happy with the whole outcome. All I want now from Series 7 Boys is the King. (@Tiermann, am sending you MO for him tomorrow :) )

Always fun to unexpectedly find something you wanted - and on sale!  :)

I so love that Neptune figure. Can't understand why they're not rushing out the rest of the pantheon!

Don't understand why they gave that archer an Egyptian dagger instead of the cross hilted medieval dagger.

I really like the upper half of the skaters, as usual  :P

Those HIDEOUS legs! He has such a PERFECT beautiful merman color, and instead of a PERFECT beautiful tail, they gave him.. bare feet. GAH. One of our biggest disappointments EVER, I think.

(please note that 99.99% of mertails are pink or blue.. there is like ONE set with a black one, right?)

Yeah but Neptune the god had regular people feet. So if they were going for Neptune, they got him right.

He did? Not sure on that...  :P
(besides, I am not fond of barefeet in klickys ever since they appeared)
