3. Gate Playset
I have 8 Gates in my collection but I couldn't get to one of them so i was unable to compare that one....however I think it's strange that all 7 of the rest were different...how can this be?.....and if my 7 are all different how many other ones would there be out there?
Here are the descriptions:

no hooks for Lantern or Bell (Alfred J Kwak)
I am wondering if no.4 with the Greay Poles are actually unpainted (raw) ones. I am thinking of maybe stripping the paint on one underneath to see what colour they are under the brown paint. I have always wondered where these have come from and the thought of them being rohling Gate poles seems to make as much sense as anything.
It was also interesting to note that the Kwak ones do not have hooks for the Lantern or Bell....like the Kwak buildings and other items they seem to have less features than the smurf ones.
Bored of normality, why not go smurf? 
isn't that someone else's line???
