Title: What is this...or from what set??
Post by: baden-wurttemberg on January 09, 2011, 02:36:04
Hello Playmofriends  :wave:,

I had gotten a lot today and this came along. I have been wondering what this piece is, (I'm pretty sure like a roof rack or someting) I just haven't found from what set it might be from. I now have two, and I thought I should ask you all about it.

Thank you,

Baden  :)

I'm stumped, Baden.   ::)  Perhaps the other items in the lot could give you a clue as to what set the part came from.

Hmmm...my first thought was the rack off the roof of the racing van, but it's not tall enough. Then I thought maybe part of a trailer frame, but that doesn't look like it either. My third thought was the frame or rack on a railroad tank car, but that's not it either. Someone's bound to know it

I'm wondering if it is even produced by Playmobil? It looks like some type of building window frame.

I've been working on it for a while :D and I am pretty confident in saying that it isn't Playmobil (although I have been wrong before :D)

The marks and just look of it just don't look Playmo :-\

I actually spent quite a bit of time on this last night. I looked through all the vehicle parts and a few other things, but I didn't find it. It does look playmo-ish to me though.

it does look authentic playmobil to me, but i've no idea what set from
looks like it goes on the top of a vehicle, to hold bikes and stuff (but those are normally black only)

good to see you around, Julian :)

Thank you very much Pingo! I would have never guessed not even with the parts that came with it. There were some steck, two cars, and a lot of extras.

Thank you again Pingo!  :clap:

Wow, that's why this forum is so great; you never would have found it, because it's not inventoried and it's not even shown in the box picture!

That's why I couldn't find it  :doh:
I spent ages looking at all parts with the words: rack, car, frame, roof, side, floor, base, support....and more!
I also thought it might be part of a frame for a window or door and tried all those too! What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon  :lol: :lol: :lol:
