Thanks for posting the sale.

Picked up two of the $2.49 ones yesterday, plus a larger head-only ruin of similar style/origin for $3 and change.

With four of the sword-weilding pieces and two of the big heads, I can take the hammer to one of each for some ruins/rubble pieces.

Didnt see that giant temple, so will have to make a return trip...

As i use deco for my gametable i am always searching (but not as hard as the budget is quite limited) for new ones. Blue Ribbon came to my attention just recently and i am now trying to get a retailer here in Holland to order some stuff for me. The two picture with this reply are some of the ones that are on my want-list. Beavers and ducks! Do I have a wantlist?????-)

Picked up a couple of the Angkor gates for $10 last year,

http://www.petmountain.com

Now they seem to be out of stock.    They do still have a tribal-looking stone face gate, slightly over scale but could look good especially with some vegetation glued to it.    And spongebob easter island statues.

I picked up two of the Buddha Warrior/Large today for $2.48 each.  Very happy.  Really appreciate the posting.  I drop by Petco several times each year to see what's new in the fish tank decor world.  I've walked away with some nice stuff.  It's a place well worth checking.  Pet Smart also has some nice things from time to time.  Thanks again for the heads-up.   Richard

In the UK Pets-at-Home sell similar stuff, but it's only occasionally in stock.

Thanks for the heads up...  The local Petco had 2 warriors and 1 buddha head left--great head start on a jungle table...

Yes, petmountain have a nice supply including the Angkor Wat gate. However, i'll first try to source it locally and meanwhile contact them on what the shipping will be. Might be a last option.

Ran to my local PetCo to see if they had a large Buddha head mentioned early and found one. Then I took a look in the fish tank area and found this...



It was not on sale so it cost me 19.99 but I could not resist this for my jungle table. Awesome!  ;D ;D ;D

If we keep this up we may want to invest in PetCo stock.  lol

Wow, that's a great statue. The cheapest I can find it is on Viovet for £5.76 +P&P

I followed your link and bought these three, less than £20 for all three including postage. A good deal I thought!

My local Petco had only one of the warriors left, so I picked it up. Wish they had the Bayan Angkor Wat gate....
