I was robbed!
« on: January 27, 2007, 07:20:41 PM »
I was in my local toyshop looking at klickies & decided to get myself one of the new pirate figures.

At the same time I needed some new paints.  So I while I was over making my selection (why do the always put the display rack on the floor in these places?), I put the box down.

When I straightened up again it was gone!!

Some confounded child of about 6 had seen it, picked it up, gone to it's mother, got the cash, paid for it and was out the door all while I was wondering what shade of red would look good on a medieval soldier!

And what makes it worse is that my wife & daughter who saw the whole thing think it's hysterically funny!

Women!!!! ::) ::) ::)

The last set in the shop?! Tsk tsk.

You men and your overly long deliberations about paint colours. *shakes head* ;)
 
Let that be a lesson to you for the next time. ;D

My local Playmo shop also ran out of those pirates right around the time I decided I had to have one.
Luckily, I found an online shop selling it with free postage for orders under £3.99.
And, even better, it was 50 pence cheaper than in my toyshop! :D

I recommend you try them if you don't have any other Playmo stockists nearby.

It'll be faster than waiting for your shop to restock. ;)

I left my love a letter in the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me in the U.S. Cavalry.
High, yo, down they go, there's no such word as can't.
We'll ride clean down to hell and back for Ulysses Simpson Grant.
