Woodland Lodge on Ebay


Ack! This Woodland Lodge has been defaced! The poor house had been entirely spray painted white! What an offense to the Sylvanian community! emoticon

I'm not sure why it's been spray painted entirely white. Perhaps the owner was going to customize it further but gave up halfway? I can understand that, as I love repainting and customizing stuff myself. Or maybe his child just felt like it. I doubt he set out to offend anyone.

I have to agree Candy! I'm a total SF purist. Notice how there aren't any bids! It's a shame, as the Woodland Lodge with its original box is becoming quite a rarity to find. It's actually one of my favourite Tomy houses.

I'm actually quite tempted to get it. It's a house that looks like it needs fixing up and can be repainted without destroying a vintage toy, since it's already been 'destroyed' by white paint and all.

Re: Woodland Lodge on Ebay


What a great idea! I see your point there,its always nice to take on a fixer-up project. Especially without feeling guilty about trashing a "classic". And as a bonus it looks ugly white so should be a real bargin. If you do get it you must post before and after photos.
