those are my blue barrels :shifty:

:think: I guess I can share. its seems to be a never ending supply when it looks like there getting low more show up. I can recognise that sound of barrels being unloaded from anywhere in the shop, even from my blue barrel playground all the way down the back :D

this was after the last delivery
