Does DS let you order mystery figures?

Since about a week or so, Playmobil-Germany announced they will take (only German I assume) orders for "missing" series-figures, but it is aimed at people (mainly kids) who missed out on a specific figure and who want it to complete their collection.
They said stock of previous series is very limited and anyone asking for x,y,z-numbers of a specific figure will get a door slammed in the face.
Not sure if other DS-departments will also offer the (limited) service.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

interesting development, thank for the news
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:

That is interesting. I hope they bring that idea here. I generally don't collect multiples beyond 2 or 3 anyway.

Having now opened all 96 packs, I was very pleased to find 4 of every figure except the king (I got 8 "mad scientists" instead)
I have emailed DS in UK to request four packets of the missing king- lets see what they say!

I got a response! :)
DS uk sent me a king in a partly-opened bag  :)
Now I am just 3 kings short!  :(
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I wonder if they had to identify it by feeling it or the code? I do not think they would opened up a whole bunch at random

The king's the most easy one to "feel" from the whole lot!
The most valiant knights are made of German plastic!!!
