Playmobil 3223 was an exclusive set released only in the United States in 1986/7. It was the first set, not including the 123 series, that I bought for my daughter. I have been searching for months for three pieces that were missing/damaged: the blue stroller, the purple child's bow-tie, and the umbrella pole. Recently I won an auction on ebay that had the blue stroller.
Well, my package arrived yesterday and I quickly opened it to claim my blue stroller. I put it with the rest of the set and went about the day's toils. While I was taking a break from doing laundry I started to rummage through the rest of the contents in the box. Not expecting to find anything of import I can tell you I was dumbstruck when I out of nowhere, there was the yellow umbrella pole!
Now I am thinking to myself, "all I need is that purple bow-tie" so I rummaged some more but found no bow-tie.
A while later I was getting the set ready for a photo shoot (because I had decided to colour a pink bow purple) and remembered my green wagon was damaged so went to the box for the wagon. I think you know where this is going by now.... sure enough, when I picked up the wagon, something must have moved just right because what to my wondering eyes should appear - the purple bow-tie.
For those of you who have been following my saga and for all of my Playmofriends I proudly present to you PLAYMOBIL 3223
