The phrase "..Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" immediately comes to mind.<br /><br />Saw the same entry as well about the Argington set -- part of me wants to believe that the $1000 sticker price was a typo. But then again...[calculates if selling a kidney is worth paying the price]..<br /><br />But it's sooooo nice though...[sighs]Chibipulsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10266707674649090474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304531325029127581.post-51994736591527863672009-05-22T13:40:14.721-07:002009-05-22T13:40:14.721-07:00Hi Modern MC,

A very classy ogre then . . . =)<br /><br />I found this info on the Argington set:<br />http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/droolicious/archive/2009/05/12/first-look-argington-miniature-set.aspx<br /><br />Can those numbers be right? *sob* The miniature set is incredible, but $1,000 (even for a limited edition of 20) is a bit too rich for my blood. Maybe it's better this way, if it were something more "reasonable", I would be fretting and obsessing still. <br /><br />Have a great memorial day weekend!Alterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710565313799177984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304531325029127581.post-55215888781198718762009-05-22T12:32:45.994-07:002009-05-22T12:32:45.994-07:00[laughs at the Troll comment] That was pricelss Mo...[laughs at the Troll comment] That was pricelss Modern MC!

And if someone were, it would never bother me. I think the old saying has the term or concept of "flattery" in there somewhere. The larger pool of hobbyists expressing their interest in modern miniatures is actually to my gain. More interest and more demand might actually produce more modern miniatures on the market. Anyway, I hope to set up some scenes this weekend. No guarantees though.Modern MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269371641218240608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304531325029127581.post-70798803840847892822009-05-20T09:23:18.181-07:002009-05-20T09:23:18.181-07:00Glad you have returned or are returning.

I have stuff in boxes, either just as they came, or with other stuff from around the same time. I sometimes forget what I have - I've been thinking I should sort them so if I want kitchen or bedroom stuff, etc, I know where to look!<br />You should have seen that German roombox when it was first listed, on German ebay. It was listed as an "erotic" dolls house, but was in fact an orgy - photobucket even deleted some of the images!!! The room itself if pretty ordinary - you just get a lot of naked dolls.<br />I've been meaning to thank you for listing interesting ebay auctions. Some of them I've noticed myself, but not all of them - and I've bid on some of the ones you've listed!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304531325029127581.post-14288119460338874072009-05-16T20:32:00.000-07:002009-05-16T20:32:00.000-07:00Ha ha!

I did forget to mention that I have a basket that I use to switch inventory out of houses for a new scene. It always looks like a mess. I pour everything in it and then take the basket to the roll out carts and Varde to file away again. And...sometimes that basket sits for weeks.
