But they never let you buy more than 9 of anything, that would be a cheap monthly special if they had so few.

I'm a little cheesed by it.  Maybe they'll list something else.
Worse, I had it in my shopping cart at 6PM on Mon, decided I ought to think it over (spent sizeable amount in Nov) but by 5AM Tue--gone!

Mr. Timotheos, sir, my guess is that some eBay seller snapped them up for resale ... :(

We ought to as a group boycott ebay...  I haven't bought anything from ebay in a year, but still find myself flooded with new PM every month.

It's just... those auctions... they're so prone to fraud and the shipping (so my uncle, a successful vendor, tells me) is where they recoup their profit even if the bid goes low...

The 3030 set has been for sale at BJ's Wholesale Club (similar to Costco) in the Boston area for a few months now

Heh, "BJ's" is a bad name for a discount store... "How low can you go?  We're prepared to go down on our prices until you agree we give the best deals in town."

Timmy ... You are indeed a clever fellow (with an interesting sense of humour) ... :klickywink:

I saw this set on Monday December 1st and considered buying it, but I thought I'd wait and think about it a little more.  (I REALLY want the Eagle knight klicky, his shield, and his flag and I'm not sure if Direct Service has them, but I have little use for the rest of the set's pieces, thus my dilemma.)  Now I guess Playmobil's limited stock has made my decision easy.  >:(  It's pretty bad when the pick of the month sells out in one day.

You think BJ's is a funny sounding name .

you want it, you got it!
At fokkido.com it´s available for 60 euros




I do not know why it sound so strange and only 60 euros
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:

Boom!  It's gone!

I waited overnight until my wife was off the PC--

Sold out!

Man, I thought it would last at least until the morning.

I just ordered mine, and it is also $75 or more gets you free shipping .  :xmascheer: That should about cover my Playmo orders for Dec.
