Title: New Barclaycard advert
Post by: flatcat on November 13, 2012, 12:37:51
Has anyone in the UK seen the new Barclaycard advert?

It is set in a toy shop and is really great. Loads of Playmobil and display items appear.

About half way through a Playmobil ambulance goes whizzing past, through hundreds of various toys, all animated.

Its a pretty impressive advert


I have just found the full length version on youtube:

Wow, that is a great link, and definitely a good marketing ad.  The monkey reminds me of the PG tips commercials.

That's a great advert! thanks for sharing.
I wish Geobra would produce a victorian mansion like the light blue one in there.
Does anybody know what brand that is?  :-[

I was surprised at how much the playmobil brand was showing up in this add. It seems it was used in a subliminal way more than any others and it had prominent locations all the way to the end.... but then I do wear blue tinted glasses.

I liked the product placement when the shopper gets out of the elevator and in the dark behind him is a tall roman

Yeah, if you look hard and pause it every time the scene changes, you see that in almost every scene, there is a giant klicky somewhere. Plus displays of blue boxes, the ambulance, signs saying playmobil, and the 5302 even goes by really fast. Really cool seeing so much PM in there! Lots of calico critters, too.

It makes me wonder how Goebra got such good representation in the add for a bank card system? Do they use the card in the funparks or stores?

Call me sad but I've gone through every scene ;D

0:00    Giant Safari person
- 0:02  Giant Roman
            Giant Construction worker
            What appears to be a shelf display in top right hand corner, to the left of the giant construction worker.
            I think I can see the box of a pyramid.

0:03    Playmobil wall banner, and an aeroplane set and one other unidentified set below

0:04    Playmobil shelf display, featuring large sign and 2ft klickies
           Head of giant construction worker showing

0:40   Ambulance zooms past

0:42   Ambulance zooms past again, with what I would guess to be the injured Action Man/GI Joe type figure

Note funny line from doll at 0:43! :lol:

0:49   Vacation house

0:52    Vacation house again

0:53    2ft Construction worker figure

0:56    Castle

0:58    Castle again

1:25    Giant Egyptian again


Did anyone spot anything I've missed?
