Title: Looking for Discontinued Playmobil?
Post by: Dinobuzz on September 24, 2010, 02:08:29
I'm new here and I'm not sure if anyone has visited this CDN site that I found in my Grande Mansion hunt (which it has for $119)!

They also sell current Playmobil stuff too.....just thought I'd share.... :)

They have a smaller set I am wanting there but the shipping is two times what the set costs. Thanks for posting

They have some specials and smaller sets that I want...like the chimney sweeper and the red captain, but I have no contact in Canada so am never able to get them.

ANd the famous NUN special is there also, so probably those who like middle ages theme could add some of them in your collection.

Be sure to use a currency conversion site, Tim! The prices are in Canadian funds.

Thanks for the link, Dinobuzz, it's very interesting.  There are some interesting sets there.  I wonder if they ship to the UK?

If anyone wants anything, just let me know!

I know I'm new here, but to me, being on Forums like this one, helping members around the globe, is one of the reasons they're so great! Its done all the time on the MLP Board I frequent daily and I do have feedback there & EBay as well.

Oh, and could I have some opinions on the Grande Mansion? Should I grab it at the price of $119? Shipping wouldn't be that much and I'd probably grab some Specials that I want as well....is $20 for the Victorian kitchen good?

Thanks for any imput guys! :)

I may be interested in some things if they don't ship to the uk.

$119 Canadian works out at about £74, which I think is good.

For 119 dollars I would buy a grand mansion. I was on ebay the other day and saw a 5300 going for 450 bucks.

I saw that too! I did get the small Victorian house/mansion? for $50 last week! (I'm hoping that's a good deal!)...

Thanks for the link and offer Dinobuzz. I have noticed that many a good discontinued item can be found in Canadian stores for some reason.

I like your Christmas surprises! I love Christmas and am already trying to decide which sets to buy for mine - it is all part of the fun.

If you telephone them or email I am sure they will ship around the world.  They are very friendly and helpful.  I have ordered from them before - yes, the shipping is high, but that is what postal costs are.

In UK currency that's £30.95  :omg: I think that;s a great price, well done!
There's one on ebay uk at the moment for £95.00
I'd love one of these but can't afford this at the moment.  :'(
