Thank you, cachalote, for the GREAT pictures!

To echo some of our other Playmofriends, "Yes, the African theme is a definite must have!"

And, thanks, cachalote, for helping Timmy to see the correct mountain ...  ;D

That is a fabulous idea, Sylvia!  There was quite a funny story involving pink plastic flamingos a few years back that took place in a neighborhood near where I live.  Sadly, however, the pink plastic flamingo has recently met its demise.   :'( 



A fabulous idea, Sylvia! (please look at the attachment)

Anne, I was sorry to read about the pink plastic flamingo's demise. However, I'm sure that they will once again return to grace many American lawns in their old tasteless way ... ;)

The attached photo shows (if you look carefully) our two pink plastic flamingos that lived by our pool in Houston.
(I think that we still have them somewhere.) ...  ;D

Thanks again everyone and all the best,
Richard

all this flamingo story made me remember seeing them when i was a kid, sailing with my uncle in tejo river, in lisbon, on the south of portugal.  :)
they are really not that exotic for me but the african-european kind that i was used to see is not as pink as the florida one...
thay look equally funny flying though (see picture)  :yup:

The whole African series looks great. Thats a new Rhino and I suspect the adult giraffe may be a new version too.

Thanks for the links to the news stories, Anne. :) It is quite sad that they are no longer being made - the end of an era. :(

Lovely photo! They fit in really well with the landscaping. :)


I've never seen any "garden flamingos" in the UK (must be too cold for them here! ;)), but I'm pretty sure that some friends of my parents in Australia had one or two in the seventies. I can't remember if they were considered tacky or fashionable at the time. :P

  Or perhaps the garden gnomes scare them away (or roast them for supper  :o)    ;D

WOW!

BEEEEEAUTIFOLL!

I still have to get old crocodiles and hyppos ...
Now, there's the ostriches I've got to have! (have a crush on each of these animals :love: ...)

It'll take a time, though. New business must make a lot of profit :-\ :-[


That's a wonderful collection!

My wish for list just doesn't seem to get any shorter. I suspect that it's getting longer each year, as I just don't have the means to buy all the sets that I like. And I don't even like all the sets that come out each year.

Again these are sets which I would really like as well.

I ordered a pink flamingo just yesterday at "The Bistro" corner bar.
It was a little over-sweetened, but imbibable enough.
