Belated birthday presents :)
« on: October 03, 2010, 06:28:32 »
Last night I finally got back home after three weeks 'on the road'  ;D

It was my birthday sometime during those three weeks, and many of my presents (including my wife's) were waiting for me here  ;D ;D ;D

They included a 3666 castle (my first 3666 ... my first steck!) which I think and hope is complete, and the old jousting set from the 90's which looks in very good condition.

What's more, I also found some recent ebay purchases patiently awaiting my return  ;D ;D ;D

The old carthorse and prisoner's cage set (and two extra guards from the same set)
The old siege tower from the same era (complete and with box)
Another set of knights + squire yellow dragon soldiers
An assortment of yellow dragon soldiers which I will use for spare parts.

I will try to post pictures once I have unpacked everything (which will take me a while - it's amazing what sort of backlog tends to accumulate after only three weeks away from home), but I am really, really happy. The only problem of course is space ... now it's getting silly and wife has suggested a moratorium on new purchases  ::) ::) ::)

Wow, what a wonderful surprise for your return home!  The 3666 is THE castle and even if parts are missing, they may still be available from DS.

Once you get Stecked, nothing else will come close :no:!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

There's half of it in the above post. The knight and squires set was in very good condition but was missing the arrows. The prisoner set, one of the whatcamacallits that hold the flagpole fastened to the cage was broken but it doesn't really matter because otherwise the set's complete. The tournament set is missing three flags and the two original flagpoles, as well as both horses' feathers - but I am sure I can find some eventually. Still have to start putting the castle together, but the siege tower was practically in mint condition. Looks great, but god knows where' i'm gonna put all this new stuff: there's no more space left in here and the wife's not pleased.  ::)
