Title: a new playmobil magazine comes out in may
Post by: cachalote on April 21, 2009, 00:53:52

RhBDirk from klickywelt discovered that a playmobil magazine is being published in germany and will come out in may 9.
there's a german article (will someone please translate it) at http://kress.de/cont/story.php?id=127733.
and also a small presentation at the blue ocean ag site - the owners.
100.000 magazines are going to be published quarterly (every 3 months) with 36 color pages.

maybe this is not that great news ... but it seems to be the only one available in the meantime.  :hmm:
i bet playmobil is announcing a new and big royal navy ship soon.  :yup:
together with big changes in their design department...  :lol:
until then, this is what we have to survive this cold spring.  :-[

Is there any word of a English version for us non German speaking folks?  I would gladly subscribe to such a magazine.

Considering it's running 'only' a 100.000 copies - I doubt there will be a non-German issue  :'(
nor that it will be available outside Germany booo hooo

I'm seriously bummed that we likely won't see an English version of it here in the States.  Thankfully, I have family in Germany that will be able to send the German version!  Wonder why they won't distribute here?  I'd pay for a subscription!   :'(

Perhaps this is just a trial run to see if it's worth their while.  If it is successful, perhaps they will publish more issues with a larger circulation. ???

In that case I hope all of our German Playmofriends will buy up the 100,000 copies quickly! :)
