3255 Noah's Ark Still Offered at PM USA website....Questions...

[Wolf Knight]

great set!!! I so looking forward to get it one day

[skypurr]

Thanks for telling us about this Pgal. 
I've had an incomplete one for years but never got around to getting the spares and didn't know if I could still get them from ds, but maybe I can now. 
  btw as you are facing forward isn't that your left arm that's waving?

Does anyone know what the original price was in the US? 90USD seems a bit steep for this few pieces. It would seem that they would sell a lot more at 70-75USD, especially when compared with the 140USD price of the 5302 Grande Mansion.

Were there ever more than two Clickies with this set (Mr. and Ms. Noah are it for now.)

Were there ever any add on sets to the Ark, or did it stand alone?

Does the engine kit really work? Who has tried it in water?

Yes, it was very quite expensive.  I can't remember exactly but 90ish seems about right.

There were no add-ons made for this set (at least not released in Canada if there were - although you could be anilmals separaeley and put them in)/

Just the two figures.

Yes, the motor will work on it - not in a high headwind though (just like any of the other boats).  It sure floats better than the 3286 pirate ship, that's for darn sure!!!

Wesley,
Thanks for the info about the ark. I agree that there should have been lots of add on kits for the ark. Can we create a list of the animals and other things we would put on the ark? Here is a start in the:
 
DECORATE YOUR ARK GAME

1. At least four children, a baby and four grandparents
2. Pigs (which kind)
3. Cows (which kind)
4. Snakes
5. Bats
6. Owls
7. Peacocks
8. Mosquitoes
9. Tigers
10. Pandas
11. Moose
12. Bear
13. Koalas
14. Armadillos
15. Porcupines
16. Turtles
17. Hamsters
18. Pelicans
19. Ostrichs
20. Ducks
21. Buffalo/bison

The animals don't have to all fit in the ark because they can be loading and unloading on the land. How about an oak tree for the land? Acacia? Palm?
YALL HAVE FUN NOW! Pgal

What you'd need is three more adult males (Shem, Ham and Japeth) and three women for their wives. History does not relate how many children so you can add as many children and babies as your heart desires.

[bonniebeth]

I'd stick with the three sons and their three wives. Plus Noah and his wife, of course.

[playmogal]

Wesley, Great! I love adding people to anything!
And all the animals my heart desires could sink the ark, but will place most of them on the land. Am searching for more animals at this very minute. Thanks, Pgal

[bonniebeth]

Actually, you could add lots of people to be ones that didn't make it on the ark.

Yep, kids, babies, adults.. Not to mention animals...

[playmogal]

Yup, this is my kind of set. The sky or table size is the limit!
Searching through my kingdom right now. And heading to Science Safari for reinforcements!
Cheers, Pgal
