So, I got two pony things in on Friday.

The other thing... is big.

This time, that hope was granted: A decently-complete Paradise Estate, for $170. It was local pickup only (which I can understand with this behemoth of a playset), but the location was in a town fairly close to mine. There was the slight issue of the fact that I still don't drive yet (despite being 32) and have to rely on others for rides, but thankfully the seller was very accommodating. They were happy to drive it to my place and drop it off, since it was only a short trip. And so I bought it, they dropped it off Friday evening, and I am very happy. I've been wanting Paradise Estate ever since finding out about it, and now I finally do. It was worth both the money and having to rearrange my shelves a bit to make room to store the sections. As an added bonus, the lot included a Lullabye Nursery crib and bathtub (although strictly speaking the tub is the wrong color for the dresser and shelf in mine; anyone want to trade?)
The set is missing about half the furniture, but it was still a great deal. I am very much chuffed to have gotten my hands on it.
