Playmobil Ski Lodge Building Set 9280
My order of the Playmobil Ski Lodge building set arrived last October. I've been eyeing this set ever since I saw it. And was debating between getting this newer version or it's Alpine/Germanic version.
Below are some more pics. The set comes with the winter figures and sports accessories, etc.
the outdoor area...
Here's a pic of when I opened the box (but didn't really bring stuff out...):
I got the set online when it went on sale at a big local chain's online store. I wanted it soon as I saw it online as I thought it can be useful and most suitable for my SF winter figures, as well as my winter Re-ment sets --> My Melody... and Moomin Warmhouse (still a planned purchase this one.. sidelined by SF purchases. Lol). Can't wait to set this up one day with those sets.

2018 Black Friday Purchases
It's that season again... and of course I made sure to check what kind of deals if any would be available online.
Suffice it to say I found and purchased the following brand new (prices rounded off) on amazon:
CC Ellwoods Elephant family
- from $35 to $21
- I don't buy figures at full price usually (since I'm more into accessories and buildings), especially at more than $30 when it's not yet exactly rare, so when the set went down to $21 and it's about the cost of used version online, it was a no brainer to get the set brand new at $21.
CC Ellwoods Elephant twin babies
- from $24 to $16
- I don't get why these elephant babies cost more than normal, so $16 brand new is a good deal.
Playmobil Guest Suite Building Set
- from $100 to $70
- This one has sat in my cart for more than a year so when I saw the discount, finally, I just went ahead and bought it. Now amazon nor Playmobil sites no longer sell it themselves. On amazon it's now by 3rd party sellers.
Playmobil Pirate Stronghold Building Set
- from $50 to $37
Gege Mini Doll x 3
- from $20 to $12 each
- It was my first time to see these dolls and they look absolutely adorable. Lol! I think from now on, they will be my SF figures' playmates. Lol!
CC Town Series Chocolate Lounge Set
- from $17 to $12
CC Deluxe Kitchen Set (discontinued)
- from $54.25 to $36.40
The elephant family usually gets sold used for the sale price I got it for, without the babies. All in all, I'd say not bad. Funny thing is, for some of these items, like the elephant figures and the Chocolate Lounge set, amazon listed it at their lowest price about 2 days before Black Friday and that was when I bought them (awesome!). After that I noticed the price increased incrementally.
On the other hand, the Pirate set's price went down by only about 3 dollars the day or two before Black Friday (to which I didn't bite), then on Black Friday, the difference became more than $10 (for which I'm glad I didn't bite on the first minimal discount. Lol).
So I think I know now when to buy brand new the more current (but discontinued particularly) Sylvanian Families (SF)/Calico Critters (CC) releases... around Black Friday week. Lol!
