Marx Troll Village!
Only two days ago, I was here lamenting my lack of the fabulous 1965 Troll Village Playset made by the Marx Company. Well, the toy gods have smiled upon me: I just found my Troll Village, in the online antique shop of one of my favorite dealers, and my sweetie was prevailed upon to buy it for my birthday (which is three months away, but that's close enough, in my opinion).
I think it's time for a friendly intervention. How can we contact your family members?
ReplyDeleteLOL Christine! Tracy sure has 'unusual' tastes in toys ;) And I am truly amazed there is such a thing as a troll village! Obviously I've led a very sheltered life :)
ReplyDeleteOh, let's not bring my family into this...they're better off not knowing, particularly as they've recently taken to saying, as they look around my place at all the stuff: "you realize, of course, that we will never, EVER, help you move again?" I think it was carrying up the cast aluminum coin operated horse ride that finally did them in.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! This was one of my favorite toys from childhood. And, I still have it! Mine is missing a lot of pieces, but I still love the thing. Seeing your post on this has made my day!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :0) Mine is missing the mat, but it was so hard to find a set at all that I'm happy to have it!
ReplyDeleteMy evil non-stepmother gave everything I owned away when I went off to college--and I never saw my beloved Troll Village again (sob!). Am so happy for you. Treasure it...oh, treasure that wonderful toy!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are sooo cool!
