Saturday Shopping Spree!
« on: June 05, 2011, 00:54:38 »
My original plan was just to go to the FunPark, get a couple of items and get some items requested by a PlaymoFriend. And knowing I how get whenever I go to the FunPark, I left all my credit/bank cards at home and only brought enough cash for my purchases. Well, it didn't work the way I intended. My S.O. , lets call him JayBee, suggested stopping by a couple of Tuesday Morning and Stein Mart stores... ugh! I got a couple of clowns(4238), a couple of kings(4663), a couple of "dog circus act" sets(4237), a magician(4667) and the Roman Arena(5837) (they had a second one of those, but the box was open and it was missing ALL the figures, I was willing to buy it at a discounted price, but the clerk said the only person allowed to do that was the manager and she wasn't in today,,, grrrrr!).

So by the time I got to the FunPark I had blown away most of my money... but SURPRISE! They already had the Christmas sets I soooo wanted: 4884 Nativity Manger with Stable, 4885 Nativity Scene, 4892 Christmas Room, 4887 Saint Nicholas and Angel !!!! I was so excited I could spit!

Add 7497 Bride and Groom (making a princess out of her and the Madhatter out of him) and 7272 Suspension Bridge...

There was so much I couldn't get...  :'(  But, there's always next time...  Here's pic of the booty. More details and reviews on the new sets tomorrow...

Aaarrggghh! I want one of those purple and gold kings to go with the queen I found at TM so bad, and I can't find one!! I've been to about 10 different Tuesday Mornings!

Anyway, nice haul! Congratulations! ;D

Panos, the US FunParks carry the new sets four months after they're released in Germany - I'm not sure if this happens in other FunParks.

Great shopping! :D Seems it was a busy weekend ;D Can't wait to see more

If you don't find one, let me know since I'm almost positive some of the stores here have them. :)

Nice assortment, EmGee!

I've never been to the Funpark before. I was visiting  good friend last summer in Orlando so I drove down to Palm Beach Garden and go there 15 minutes after closing time.  8} Do they have any older, retired items there?
