Title: Lufthansa Bus
Post by: flatcat on November 13, 2011, 16:02:47
This is one of my latest buys, the very rare Lufthansa bus:

It is in very good condition (apart from very minor damage to front bumper end) and is all complete with the original Klickies and accessories.

I won it for £26 on ebay, which I know is a lot, but I have never seen one of these come up for sale before :)

The next one to find is the post bus ;)

The only other ones I have are the ambulance and the school bus

So I need to find the post bus, police van and campervan (I think that is all of them) :)

Yeap, the camper van had two colours. The first one that's my favourites and its yellow. A second one was produced with blue colour.

We forgot the TV van! :D

I have the 90's campervan in yellow (the last in that design) but yes, there were those two colours before it :)

I'm pretty sure I have seen a camper without the centre height extension (the same body as the ambulance, police van etc) and it was yellow with coloured decals, but I can't seem to find it now :-\

If we are thinking liscences then there is the fire version from Antex, but to me it doesn't really count ;)

This is a fine bus in great shape for its age!

Have you seen the blue THW van/bus 4088? It is rare, too, and listed for 70USD on eBay at:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEUF-PLAYMOBIL-THW-SECOURS-4088-EQUIPE-CYNOPHILE-CHIENS-/230631662706?pt=FR_YO_JeuxJouets_MiniUnivers&hash=item35b2b7e472#ht_2661wt_769

Looks like this French seller has several. I like the blue THW Smart Car 4090 as well.
Cheers, Pgal :wave:

Euh... the classic van came also as a TV-van (which I had when I was a kid):

There was also a smaller version of this set, with less klickies and accessories (which was the one I had)

I'm waiting for a DS-release of the classic van with the PCC-logo on it, and a bunch of all kinds of klickies as crazy collectors to go in it... ;D

And a even smaller one, just the reporter and cameraman (found all 3 boxes this weekend - those cameras were a long ebay phase also  :love: )

That is what we call a "caravan" overhere. Had that one too as a kid; the TV-van for the film-crew and the cara-van ( ;D ) for the star-actor/actress  ;)

Have two different ones (roulottes, they're called here), but no tent for them...  As usual, pics somewhere in the PROCESS.

Tahra,

THIS IS A FIRST: we found something that has been out a long while that you REALLY NEVER HAD BEFORE! OMG!!!! Are you absolutely sure? We could start a new thread listing PM you have never owned! But it would be a very short thread from what I can tell!!!

Now you can dream about it!
It is one cool looking set, I gotta admit. But all I will do is look at the picture in the listing, so it is up for grabs, Pgal :wave:

Well, not interested in paying a fortune for it... We do have a couple of the tents.. but I don't think we have the one that goes into the trailer. Pity.

Unfortunately, that list wouldn't be THAT small.

Look what arrived this morning!!! :woohoo:

The seller sent me a message explaining that she'd found the box and would I like it!

The box art seems to show a 4 part story (but I can't quite work out what's going on! 8})

I particularly like the detail of the Lady's umbrella blowing up in the draught! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Interesting that the Fire Chief's car is in English :eh?:

I am so happy! :yippee:

What is interesting though, is on one side of the box, there is a large sticker, showing that this item was shipped directly from Zirndorf to a UK address!

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/208/adiscsander036.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/820/adiscsander036.jpg/)

I didn't see a need to hide the address as it would be 35 years old now

Damo,

The yellow camper you are talking about without the middle section is indeed an Antex version. Like you say, it is all yellow with palm tree decals and also comes with a separate blue tent (like the orange safari tent).

There is a good photo of it in the 3rd edition of the Collector book in the Antex section. I got mine from a seller in Argentina a year or so ago MISB. Neither the cost for the camper, nor the shipping were ridiculously expensive.

Btw, nice deal on the Lufthansa bus.
