Playsets and Display Environments

[daremo]

I hate Walmart. Except when I can get a big ass castle for $10. I picked up mine at the store tonight. It was a great deal but now the price is back up to $72.

 

[Goldbug]

oh mine is ready for pickup too!

 

[K-Tiger]

Pics, damn you! Pics!

 

[AdrienVeidt]

Woot, got the shipping notice for the second castle!

 

[nacho]

Got a shipping notice for both of my castles... in two shipments. dunno, don't care

The boxes are pretty big. I'm fairly certain that they cost more to ship than the actual price that was paid for the castle.

The first wave I ordered came in last week. I had them shipped to me and each one came in a separate shipping order. The second wave I did the ship to store and picked those up last Friday.

Wave three is still in processing, i got a notice that they are working with the supplier to try to fill it. That one may end up getting canceled.

Doesn't pack back up very well.

 

[Videoviper]

Still waiting on my shipping notification, hope it comes through.

EDIT: Just got my notification. Yay Walmart!!!

 

[Goldbug]

Doesn't pack back up very well.

and this is why I'm scared to take mine out

 

[AdrienVeidt]

Take a pic before taking stuff out?

 

[the_Archivist]

I don't know if that'll help much. They really pack it in there.

The rest of wave 3 shipped

Minis Tirith Schleich style here I come!

 

[AdrienVeidt]

They really pack it in there.

That's what she said!

 

[nacho]

Two castles arrived via fedex today, grand total = $27. Thanks wally world!

And thanks to whoever tipped us off...

 

[AdrienVeidt]

Holy shitsnax, you guys ain't kidding! I just got my first castle, and thought both were somehow in the same box, but nope. Yeah, you'd have to take pics as you peel back the layers for that to be any help! I don't have time to crack it open today, but I will tomorrow and I'll see if I can take some pics to help.

Man, you just know somebody at WM.com got fired for putting the decimal point over one too many places when they listed what likely was supposed to be a $99.99 sale price.

 

[AdrienVeidt]

Yeah, okay; pics ain't happening, y'all. You're on your own putting all this shit back in the box.

 

[Videoviper]

I got my kitty surprise & I'm loving it

Oh & the castles came too

Pfft WM deserves it for keeping clearance items at FULL price

 

[Videoviper]

For those who wanted a pict. This thing is a jigsaw puzzle if you plan on repacking it. Everything is bagged.

Layer #1

 

[Videoviper]

The castle also has a batcave entrance

Yes that the 1:18th Batmoble

 

[nacho]

Pics aren't working... I'm anxious to see them!

Scale

 

[the_Archivist]

I built my Schleich Castle last night to take some up close pictures of all the pieces. I think I'm going to need a bigger table if I want to expand it with the other castles I got. I still have to wait a couple weeks to open any more so we can give our daughter hers for her birthday. I already gave her the 2 guys that came with this one though. I added my Wizard tower since it will be an integral part of the whole castle.

 

[the_Archivist]

I added a bunch of pictures of all the parts included with the Schleich Castle.

Photo review : Schleich Big Knight’s Castle

A couple of the highlights

 

[Dropshipbob]

A wash of paint would really make the brick and rock details pop out on those.

 

[the_Archivist]

Especially the rocks.


These are 7"scale gotham figures but i really like the background pieces.

[K-Tiger]

Save for the dumpster they should all be fudgable as 1:18.

 

[Videoviper]

OK I just found this & I had to share.....

The Love Boat Playset

They Made A Toy of That? Misguided Action Figures | Mental Floss

 

[Dropshipbob]

That and MASH had pretty cool playsets.

 

[the_Archivist]

I've been going through my lab equipment and took some better pictures of the lab tables I have.

 

[the_Archivist]

This one is from a line called Creepy Crawlers from Jakks Pacific

This one is the Creepy Crawlers Operation X-Ray set I got from Amazon for a little under $9.

They have some other great looking equipment in that line.

A Bugmaker


Smasher and Grinder

 

[Dropshipbob]

Some pretty cool stuff there!

This reminds me we have one of those bug maker toys...we need to get that thing out and use it. Stinks to high heaven when it's "baking".

 

[K-Tiger]

I had the original incarnation from the T2 days, but this one looks like it would be more useful for our scale.

 

[the_Archivist]

Halo Avatar capsules. I use these as mini chambers.

Here is what the actual product looks like.


And the little mini figures have heads that work really well with 1:18 figures

Got another order of gashapons when I got the robots and skeletons.

I thought these slot machines looked pretty cool.

 

[the_Archivist]

I had a great goodwill trip last week. Picked up the Loving Family Sweet sounds house for $5. It needs some renovations but I couldn't pass it up for $5. I also got another smaller house, a Scooby Doo haunted house, and a Playmobile pirate ship.

Wait...did you say robots and skeletons???

 

[the_Archivist]

Yeah from Japan. Shipping is a bitch so I usually order a bunch of gashapons at once. These slot machines looked kind of cool.

Skeletons

I also got some capsuleQ museum figures to use for treasure.

 

[K-Tiger]

DioWarriors has the skeletons for $10.

Hey Drop, imagine what I could do with that dollhouse there, with all the 1:18 bric-a-brac I have in that Schelich thing.
