It is ideas like these that would help Playmobil better market their toys here in the US . If they would print cartoon like catalogs along with their product catalog it would help encourage kids to play with and want more of the toy line. It seems like Playmobil had a lot more creativity in their old catalogs with all the setups and drawings . I also think it was more kid based with pictures of elephants riding on top of trains . Now they seem to be so reality based . No more drinking monks or hippies pushing bikers off cliffs .

Yet another catalogue to show. This time a German from 1986 :)

Interestingly, on the fire and rescue page the full page diorama shows the 3525 fire engine, version 2, with white wheels and chassis and orange bodywork, but the picture bottom left shows the original version 1 with red wheels and black chassis and red bodywork.

I just checked the catalogue from 1985/86 and it shows the "correct" diorama depiction of the old fire engine. But that's not queer as the V2 was released in 1986/87 according to the Collector.
Maybe it's a PLAYMOBIL mistake with the old one in the 1986 ???

Nice pictures, with a bit of a twist.

 If you haven't already noticed the pirate captain 3382 makes several appearances in the dioramas, so have a go, play spot the Pirate. :)

Thanks for the extra scan, LHAAP.  It's always good to see the old pictures of the Playmobil fire brigade in action.   :)

What a great idea you had, LHAAP.
I found this 91'-92' Spanish catalogue in the Playmoclicks forum, here I pass you the link to the pdf: http://rapidshare.de/files/38858830/Cat_logo_1991-1992.pdf.html

These old Playmos may be simpler and less detailed, but for some of us that were kids in these times, there is a place in our hearts full of appreciation, nostalgia and love for them. :love: :'(
