Another Spending Spree!
« on: September 20, 2010, 08:00:23 »
I am just hopeless. I am supposed to be saving my money for important things, and not buying more big Playmobil because I haven't the money or room.

However that soon went out the window :doh:











All the sets are about 98-99% complete. The farytale castle is missing 2 Klickies and a few small parts.

I had a tip off (from myself) that there was going to be a second hand toy stall at a steam and country fair that I went to yesterday (so annoyed because I forgot to take the camera).

I wasn't dissappointed. It was a display like at the conventions - bags and boxes of loose sets and Klickies.

Anyway I think I made her day because Playmobil didn't seem to be one of there big sellers (there was still Playmobil that I saw on her stall 3 years ago)

The house was priced at £45, the fairytale castle at £30, and the other bits varied prices, and in total they all added up to £123.50, and without any sort of bargaining, she called it a round £100.

£100 I wasn't expecting to spend, but oh well :lol:


I think I payed way over what it's worth, what do you think? (These sorts of sets are out of my knowledge area) :-[

Damo have you seen the prices on playmospace vehicles on ebay? Here is an example:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Playmobil-3537-Driller-Raumschiff-Space-Weltall-OVP-/250644350691?pt=DE_Allesf%C3%BCrKind_Spielzeug_Playmobil&hash=item3a5b9146e3

And this castle is awesome!! There was one on sale, probably the last in the toys shop at the other end of town for 150 euros.... When I decided to get it it wasn't there any more!  :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: And its much better than the more recent one!!!!

and the house costs a lot too!!!

I think you got a good bargain for 100 GBP

The magic set alone, with the tree, can also cost about 20 GBP.... The passenger form the schooner is also hard to get and very expensive...I saw one for about 15 GBP...

Ah, ok, that sounds promising! :yup:

I was thinking of customising the playmospaces into vehicles for construction theme, but I think I'll leave them as they are :lol:

The fairytale castle is absolutely amazing. The coolest part is that it has an attic! :banana:

 :-[

Thanks, Panos! :)
