Hello Playmofriends :wave:
Here is a pic of the blue ties which often come in Playmobil sets to hold bundled parts together:

Because they are so strong, and easy to put together and part they are very usefull!

IMO, from what I know of they are better than anything currently on the market for surving these purposes, but unfortunately they don't have part numbers otherwise I would order a load from DS :(
Does anyone else have any great uses for them?

A very usefull and resourcefully tip Damo!!! Thank you!!! If i come across any i'll give them to my mother for her plants!!!
-
I've never seen these before and thye seem especially useful. Any particular sets they come with, Damo?

Mine came from sets 4823 and 4471 - they were used to bundle the frameworks of the boats together. It could well be that they only came in these sets but I am uncertain :-\
-
I like the look of those - they do seem to have a lot of potential uses. I usually save all the pits and pieces (even the sprues in case a little piece of a particular color plastic might be needed later 8} ) but I don't remember seeing them before - maybe they are new. I will be on the lookout for them. :)
-
That's a great idea! It's good to reuse things!
-
I have never seen those before (but I don't get out much). ???
-
I haven't seen these before either, but i don't manage to get many new sets, :' (most of mine are someone else's cast offs from ebay! :love:

Thanks Damo for the tip! That's a pretty good idea for the blue ties. From now on I'm going to give them to my mom for her garden. Thanks for sharing.

I received them in different colors in sets & add on sets containing the old oak trees that held the different sized branches together by group.
-
Hee! I should see if I have any of those around- there's a plant in my office at work that's threatening to take over the entire room...
-
a good tip !!!! ;)

Having said I'd never seen them before, I've just been sorting out some of the Playmobil I've been collecting lately and found a new oak tree that I'd got had them joining the different sized branches together :-[ :-[ :-[
I now have blue, red and yellow ones! ... I'm just off to tie up my tomato plants! ;D

Wow! different coloured ones! :D
They are great for tomato plants - the plant in my pic is a chocolate tomato plant that we are growing :love:

They're not actually real chocolate, but the tomatoes are brown, with a chocolate flavour. They are a new variety that we are trialling for a seed company :)
