under the big top

I couldn't resist the 50% off table in front of the toy store another day.  And Playmobile is always irresistible.

Wow! Never seen Playmobil Circus before! Of course, how could you not bring that home?

Those photos look wonderful ... and so saturated with coloirs.

What a lot of fun you'll all have with it.

I love this! I keep meaning to do a circus post. I want to run away with the carnies.

Oh, I agree, these shots are just wonderful, and you know what? We have parts of that circus; it's from when my husband was a kid. Parts of a circus and parts of a ranch; it's an interesting combination.

As far as I know there are two of these massive circus sets left on the sale table. Just sayin.

Make Mine Mid Cen; It will be a minor miracle if all the pieces actually make it back to LA. We shall see...
Jasmin; Can't wait to see your circus post, but I will admit I have only been a circus fan since Playmobile.

Lilli: I'd love to see the circus/ranch combo! And amazing that these were familiar pieces from your love's childhood, and that they are still around!

Misha: Henry and Greta love it equally. Hen gets a bit rough with the trapeze artists, there's a lot of screaming involved.
Citlalli: I love the circus too, I turn on the lights when the kids aren't playing with it and just peer inside the tent and hear the roar of the crowd. Well, we don't have a crowd yet, so far a mom and her two kids. We need to add more to the audience. :) But we do have popcorn.
