Old sets are so evocative of a world that's gone forever.

Do let me know if you all find this interesting? I know a lot of you are more into building them and the dioramas.

Sincerely,
James

Yes, I find it most interesting, keep them coming.

I guess I am an exception for not being into dioramas or building but I enjoy admiring and contemplating the designs. 3787 is definitely a favourite of mine. This watering hole fits in a proud sequence of boozy PM sets, now unfortunately (but understandably) extinct. Once you start thinking about it, Molly Brown too strikes me as most surprising in children's hands, but she too is not alone in the catalogue (think of the camp follower from 3891). ;D So quirky, how I love PM! :love:

By the way, is Molly's face unique, or is it encountered with any other figure? Any thoughts are welcome!

Best wishes

I too love your pics Mad. These are amazing toys that would never get made today.

3732 is just mind blowing. A buffalo dance! This is the sort of cultural set that PM should be doing. Just imagine: the Gnomes of Zirndorf reach out to modern tribes and negotiate a new series of Indian sets that accurately display cultural practices with tribe approval. They would fly off the shelves.

Quirky PM is the only company that would even consider this sort of thing. They ALREADY OWN a toystyle that no one even knows exists.
