My big little pick me up
« on: August 27, 2009, 00:57:00 »
Well on the way home from my job site I just had to stop at the toy store , especally since talking about Kaethe's new store . So as I drove up I imedeatly notice a new 5 foot Klicky in front ( the clown ) . While in the store browsing the new US items and playing with the floor display piramid I noticed the owner walked in . I went over and could not resist asking what they did with the old figure ? Well he said it was all beaten up and also seeing as they are getting harder and harder to get he said they planed on keeping it just in case .  He looked at me and looked ( i think this is where i got all tiered eyed ) and then with a great pause...... he asked if i wanted it ? Hell yes I said with out a moments hesitation ! Well he said come with me . We went into the back room where all the overstock is kept and there he was . He is all beaten up but its a lot better that anything i currently have which is nothing .  I promised to tell everybody how great his store is .



The store Toy Works is family owned and the owner John works ( well plays ) in one store . His wife works at the other and the son works at the third. The stores are well stocked and the staff is nice, educated and helpfull. They sell very good quality stuff and have many things open to try out . The owner also still has his collection of playmobil from when his kids were little ( i have yet to talk him into selling them to me ) . So if you are ever in Sonoma County and want to taste California Wine stop by his shop and my office . The prices are similar to Playmobils and in october he has his 22% off sale .

That's a fine looking klicky you got there!  I totally regret giving away my 6 life-sized figures when I closed the store..... Congrats on your adoption!

What a luck you have! There are also some smaller ones in the shop displays (about 40 cm in height) I also always ask the shop assistants if the would sell them to me but all refused so far. You must be a really happy man.

He may be a bit weathered but a great acquisition nonetheless!

What a friendly guy! :D

Do you think the figure can be restored?
It seems to be held together with a lot of tape. Maybe just removing the tape and using some kind of strong glue will greatly improve its appearance.

A great addition to your collection, Ras.  Well done!

When we visit the Malta FunPark this year I hope to come away with a giant fireman.  My plan is to leave Diane in its place, she's about the right height, and just walk out with my arm round the fireman.
