When you say collectable, do you mean the rarest? Because my vote would definately go to the rollercoaster :love:

Collectable could also mean popular, like I would say the 3666 is collectable, as it is such an elite set, and is getting harder to find as it gets older.

good think I have 13 then  ;D ... hmmm I should get one more to make them 14... although I am not superstitious but its a good excuse  :lol: :lol: :lol:

But if we are talkingfor an item, a part, an accessorie... so many of them I consider collectble and rare at the same time..

hottest item i've noticed is the original victorian car.  i wonder what effect, if any, the new green release of the car will have on the market value of the original?

folks were once paying top dollar for original victorian fences; now you can buy the remoulds for a mere US$25

The rollercoaster is most certainly very rare!! has anyone got it and/or seen one been for sale on ebay or else where ? if so how much they go for ????

The white dagger from the old multi klicky nuremberg guard set . I have never never seen one on sale on ebay neitehr set nor dagger !!!!

My vote goes for the roller coaster. I only know it from pics, and never have seen one on sale.

Post by: cachalote on September 09, 2011, 14:46:19
:yup: i agree the rollercoaster is probably the rarest.
 :) if a state fair theme is ever introduced by playmobil - such a great idea, bonniebeth  :wow: - i hope this rollercoaster will be re-released.

within the pirate's them, the famobil sets must be the hardest to find.
... and also the lyra 1L02 - i've only seen it once on ebay and lost it.  :'(

yes, last year (or was it two years ago?) it was on ebay (some European ebay) and it went for around $1,400 USD

There may be other items that are just as rare but not nearly as memorable or unique.

George, Playmoed is the only member who has the roller coaster in this forum (that i know) - he actually has 2! (one misb and the other one mib)

The once mentioned that the parts of the rollercoaster were not original Playmobil (i don't know what he means by this), just the figures.

I can just picture all these old toy shops in Japan with these on the top shelves just sitting there collecting dust ...

No it's a different mould. The colour is a very light grey and it looks a bit like the old Klicky long swords (handle moulded so it looks like leather straps wrapped aroung it). It definitely IS a rare item.

For those who have never seen a rollercoaster, here is a good link (hope it works) to a customized version for a "Stargate Theme/Fun Park"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vj674FLMM0

Oh and yes, all the parts that are used to "build the tracks" were NOT produced by geobra, but by Japan-based "Epoch". As far as I know there are very few people who have it and I don't knoe anyone who has it MISB (playmoed being the exception to the rule as it seems).

From sets that were in general release the Mountie and his horse from 3827 - Canadian Mounty (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3827) are well up there in rarity. They are available but difficult to get as a set.

I suppose then the rollercoaster is a cult set i would imagine. looking closely to it the stand and then supporting beams dont appear to be playmobil nor the trolley in it ... i think the one playmobil components are the klickies , would be interesting to find out if the  other parts were /are available separately ....

I will try to create some working connection to the video....

There was a set of armour that had a pewter grey klicky that had no face?  (Or am I remembering this correctly?)  I always thought that would be fun to have.

The 3449 Museum had such an item. not that hard to find though, still rare but a good one goes for 30 -40 euros ...

Came to this thread a bit tardy but...better late then never!

I think that the 3627 Merry Men's feast is one of the rarest sets, although so is the Museum, it seems.

Hard to find yes but a number of these come on ebay each month, i would say 3-4 sets of rmerry men and 1-2 museums ( own view of course ), the rollecoaster and that infamous dagger i have never seen on ebay ....

On the subject of rare sets , with reference to medieval which is by far my favourite theme the following is  very rare also

 Medieval towen folk and well 3487

Actually,] however i think  I can recall my best friend ( and best man at my wedding ) having a couple of these ... i can recall this sticker on their bandana on their head .. he gave me all of his playmos in the late 80s, about 300 klickies or so , i havent opened some of these boxes since 1991 but i will eventually have a look and feedback !!!!

Yeap and this klikcy brings bad one of my biggest playmo regrets of all time. while in the uk i was about to order 200 of these, i was thibnking back then to order these and then lots of redcoats to create two opponent armies ... i evenb bought 10 berthas and lots of pirate stuff to create that green coat army. got greedy with medieval and letft it for later, for later and then the golden opportunity was gone. MAny years ago, i have come to regret this big time. what ashame , a golden opportunity to create two opponent armies  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( ... aw well, i havew three of them

good choice sire, a very rare klikcy indeed this is !!!!!!
