Lots of great stuff there. That Riverdale building is difficult to find at a decent price.
Post a review of the Pegasus for us, I would be interested to hear what people think.

I just got the pegasus loose off ebay, not as part of a set, but I'll take some more photos tomorrow and post them.

These are some GREAT finds, Elaine! Old color animals, and the old style baby accessories are really cool, and I love the TV camera, want one of those. Congrats!

A great selection of buys, Elaine, especially the trawler.

Those baby things are really sweet aren't they Bonnie, I actually got them because one of the ladies with the bonnet came with them, but I'm sure I can find a use for them.

I was very pleased with the trawler Gordon, even though I need to find lots of parts to complete it, it only cost me £5.50 + postage ;D  I was pleasantly surprised at how large and heavy it is, I somehow thought it was smaller.

It should be with a horse, not a donkey  :lol:
It's from this set

All great buys Elaine!  ;)  I can certainly identify with the lack of will power when it comes to buying more (and more) Playmobil.   :-[

Thought I'd update this before my castle arrives...
Here are some of this month's buys - quite a motley assortment  :)



The eskimo pieces were in seperate lots.



One was very yellowed so I got it for a cheap price, this is what it was like when I received it - it actually looked even more yellow in real life ...



This is after nearly 2 weeks in a bucket of household bleach...



You can see on the base the bits that missed being covered by the bleach...



I'll put it back in for a bit longer I think, together with the other one.

I was pleased to find the weather station but it's a bit bigger than I thought it would be and does seem quite large compared to the igloos...



I managed to find a few more animals and birds, including another eagle and more owls (I think that makes 40 owls in total now, but must look for some more!) the correct giraffes arrived eventually  :lol: ...



and...

Sorry Bonnie  ;D



I was soooo pleased to win these  :cheerlead:

Got a few klickies in a lot that didn't have a photo, just down as klickies and accessories, but I couldn't resist the challenge for a £1.20 bid  :-[



and finally a few pieces for Halloween...



I forgot about these...



Damo said these were a good buy at the price so I bought three  :-[
I do like them as different from the green ones, but I don't need three, so have two to spare.  If anyone would like one just let me know, otherwise I'll save them to sell at Kirkbean next year.

So that's it I think until the castle arrives ...
