« on: January 01, 2016, 07:30:48 »
I have  been trying to find a Playmo Napoleon for ages !!! I didnt want to buy one off ebay but rather find and have bought no less than 10 bags looking for him . Early in 2016 i opened a couple of bags I had and found one !!!! A grand klicky ( i want more of course  :lol:) not sure about the sword but no complaints . And here he is amongst some period silverware  which i think suits this klicky really :lol:

That's the spirit! I cannot have been that hard to detect the right bag in the shop. Did you try? Any good catches among the other 9?

It is great responding to the famous Giorginetto. :wave: Your posts have been inspirational, your purchase history legendary. Puts everything in perspective. Happy new year!

Looks great George, the silver that is , one streak on the tray but very nice.... :P

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I have planned to buy a bunch of bags, but I mostly want the robin hood, the awesome knight/king, and...I forgot the last. Great. :wall:

Napoleon (5'7") was above average height for men at the time. Hitler (5'8"), the other man people like to pass off as short, was also of above average height.
The current French president Hollande is about the same size as Napoleon.
I didn't realise that Cameron (same height as Obama - 6'1") was so tall nor that Sarkozy (5'5") was so short.

Oh, thanks

I guess my opinion came from a childhood film, time bandits. Darn stereotypes getting in the way of facts

Thanks for facts

An absolute classic... some great ideas there for Playmo dioramas!

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)
