Eleven new Starbucks sets in Korea

[Rasputin]

McDonalds pulled the plug because of the small parts I recall. It would be 123 or similar meaning most kids wouldn't want it. Starbucks in Korea obviously doesn't have the same bubblewrap mentality that is the real choking hazard in the West.

Last time I checked there is no kids coffee options at Starbucks, hence why no one will care about choking kids

McDs has kid coffee options? Eitherway it sounds like South Korea could have a new tourism venture - kid choking tours for stress relief. Maybe give it a Simpsons theme.

Tsk, tsk. I ordered the coffee truck, as the dealer gave me a 10% discount & shipping was $3, from S Korea. Their original price was about $100 cheaper than what most other sellers were asking for.

I had ordered the other new sets from them earlier; 3 of the sets had banged-up boxes, so they added, I think to compensate, an extra clicky - the Starbucks astronaut - & 6 Korean facial masks. (!!!)

4 more clickys to go for this.

It's easy to be scathing about the prices eBay sellers charge (I described them as 'eye-watering' in the first post), but these sets clearly aren't going to be available outside South Korea anytime soon and the return airfare to Seoul would be a lot more expensive, especially as you would have to go several times, or stay there for several weeks to be able to get the sets directly from Strarbucks. Put that way, these look quite competitively priced!

Now there’s an idea , Playmobil Simpson’s, or southPark

The dealer from S Korea is holding these 4 for me until Nov, when my PM budget is refreshed. That's great. They are:

The other thing to note here is how much better the colour palette of these sets is compared to much of the off the shelf sets. It's also what makes them compelling to purchase.
They should do a playmobil themed toy shop set with a delivery van.

Yes, absolutely. No obnoxious pastels of pink and  purple

The final 4 clickys arrived, so I have the full series; it was painful to acquire & I was strict with myself in other areas of life to cover cost. For this last order, the seller included 5 more Korean facial masks & a very lovely Hello Kitty bag....     

I ended up with one extra Starbucks shop due to damage with first one (one of the paper ground pieces was somewhat mangled) so I now have 2. I'm not too sure what to do - keep as an extra or...? The damage isn't too noticeable once it's assembled.

Well, you are going to have very nice skin from all these facials. 
You could always ebay the bag. Hello Kitty is popular.
