I can die happy now

Hello everyone 

Before starting off I would like to apologize from my Mods because I may open the thread in wrong section. I couldnt find Western,Cowboys theme section 

So let me start saying how awesome this golden set is. 6761 Bandit's Secret Hideout 1997.

During my childhood in 1997-2003 my parents wouldnt buy me this line no matter how many times I cried. I did find near mint condition for 120 euro and saved shipping,customs because it was a local find. Unfortunately the trumpet lost some of its yellow gold. I may be the Adventurers Nerd but this Western theme have strong pull on Vintage lego AFOL's

Or maybe they could not? That was the case in my family. I did not even begin to cry, because everything in the +10 DM range was totally not possible for them.

I believe in really "knowing" (or better "feeling") how you feel: When an unbelievable wonderful jewel, that was never ever even thinkable of being in your hands suddenly is just there, or right in front of you, it is your own, and you are looking at it ... it can be simply overwhelming. Not only that, but I love your post ... enjoy this set you so like and love, keep these feelings deep in your heart ... and as this happened, you know ... there may be more, there always is!

All the best and have fun,
Thorsten

It's a really nice set and I'm glad you finally got to enjoy it, it was worth the wait!

(seeing the western theme now, I can't believe how it wasn't appealing to me back in those days)

Over a series of Christmas & birthdays as a child I had (and still have) this, Gold City Junction and the Sheriff Lock-up sets.

Still patiently waiting for a Fort Legorado.. maybe one day.

Thanks everyone for warm answers 

I am having a blast with this theme. I found gold city junction, probably going to buy that too.

Lastly Sheriff's Lock up is in list but between this and gold city junction i think gold city is far more valuable and iconic right ?

2 exclusive never seen figures in that set
