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.
