Hi,

For those of you not resident in Germany, but wishing to work your way through the registration process on the Playmobil.de website (so you can see the prices), you could always try this as an address:

Willy-Brandt-Straße 1, 10557 Berlin

and use this telephone number:

0180 272 0000

Of course, Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel might be surprised when a bunch of Playmobil catalogues show up on her doorstep.

Just a (not really serious) thought  ;)

Cheers,

AndrewL

Hi

Thanks I will try it but I am still struggling to get Canadian items delivered to the US. Oh why does Geobra feel the need to crate these red tape obstacles? we are just trying to buy more  ::)

Who is Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel by the way  ???

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Hi Ras,

She's the current Chancellor (Prime Minister) of Germany: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel.

The address I suggested is the official residence of the German head of government in Berlin. So my suggestion was along the same lines as putting in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the US, or 10 Downing Street in the UK.

Sorry, it was a rather obscure (and therefore poor) joke  :-[

Cheers,

AndrewL

Hi,

Can't really take credit for the idea -- I was inspired the film 'The Blues Brothers,' in which Jake and Elwood give their address to the police trying to give them a speeding ticket as 1060 West Addison Street in Chicago. Which is Wrigley Field (a baseball stadium, if you're wondering).

Somehow the idea seemed to fit, and I thought the Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin would be suitable for this purpose.

But of course, it would be very, very wrong to give a false address like that  0)

Cheers,

AndrewL

I highly doubt Playmobil would remove the the ship from already boxed sets, as the boxes make up a significant amount of the cost.

To be honest - it made me smile too, AndrewL  :lol:

Is there anyone who can order that book for me and have it send to the Netherlands?
It seems as if I'm constantly to late for it :-(
