Title: playmobil "retired " tickets on boxes
Post by: playmo1989 on July 07, 2010, 17:53:08
i've seen on ebay some sets that have on them one ticket that says "retired" and in one box they even placed a ticket with a different number for ex. the park fence 5360 changed it to 7137 see it:  http://cgi.ebay.ca/PLAYMOBIL-5360-7137-MANSION-PARK-FENCE-LAMP-NISB-90-/140422996733?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b1dce2fd
 
 also one other set with the retirement ticket : http://cgi.ebay.at/Playmobil-Merry-Mens-Hideaway-3626-MISB-Retired-/230494717215?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35aa8e451f

very interesting...perhaps the stickers are from playmobil to determine the status of the set...then sold off to retailers so that it would be easier for them to categorise their stock....

When items are withdrawn and then are put in the DS catalogue they are often renumbered to a 7xxx number.
