Zak Storm - Sino Island Playset

Sometimes,while scrolling through ebay ,I'll throw the word "playsets" into the search query and occasionally something cool catches my eye. I knew nothing about Zak Storm   when I stumbled upon this playset ,but really liked the aesthetics.More than that,I liked the price,$7.69 shipped.Here's the link to the vendor If after you read this post,you're interested. Zak Storm Playset (Oh look they lowered the price,but It might be the last one.Not to worry ,there are dozens more selling for about the same price by other vendors.)
