Hauls: Buffy library playset

[dieastra]

Ten years ago when I collected the Stargate figures from Diamond Select Toys I was in awe of this library for their Buffy line. But I did not buy it, thinking my sci-fi figures don't need a library, and also everyone would see it was meant for Buffy. I was stupid like that. I could have gotten it for $60.

For many years now I have oogled it on ebay, but it has become very expensive.

I got this for 140 GBP and shipping from the UK which is cheaper than the US. It came without box and instructions, in many little parcels, but I managed to set it all up. It looks so great! A bit small for my Alfred, I need to see how I can make the book shelves taller.

Have a look under the cut!

The library was always my favorite set on Buffy <3

Wow, that's a massive playset! And Alfred and Giles look rather friendly up there :)

So cool!

Oooh, that library...this is brilliant!!!

[niviene.livejournal.com]

Really do love this set!

[dieastra.livejournal.com]

Yes, me too! Should have bought it much earlier but glad that I did now. Sometimes you just have to give yourself what you want, no matter the money.

Wow, that is gorgeous-- and so big! I can see what you mean about it being a little small for Alfred, though.

Yes, it's really gorgeous!

I'll copy this over from our other conversation as it makes more sense to reply here: Too bad the price of that library set went up so much-- ahh, hindsight. It looks amazing, though, and it's good that you're happy with it. Did you end up finding a way to make the shelves taller, to better fit your Alfred?

I'm still thinking about it, how to do it, as I want to do it properly, but I didn't need to rush as for the one picture I wanted to do a friend had a very simple solution: Just take the higher book cases and put them on top of the lower book cases!

Sometimes you need an outsiders look. So I did, and the end result was wonderful!

And I used the set again for this scene: Selina is stealing the knife (https://dieastra.livejournal.com/296010.html)

You know what else I am eyeing for years? This set: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Palisades-Muppets-Swedish-Chef-kitchen-playset-series-3-2003/123212449060?hash=item1cb008c524:g:LbEAAOSwylRbMT0X

Ohh, good idea. Those pics look great! Still looking forward to whatever you come up with for customizing the bookcase, though :D

And, omg, that other set looks amazing XD

Thank you!

And, omg, that other set looks amazing XD

Yeah, and it's your fault that I bought it ;) I honestly only wanted to show you the link, all those years I only could find expensive ones but when seeing this offer I could not resist. Two small accessories are missing but for that price I don't care.

Lol, I'd say I'm sorry but I'm not ;D
