Do you know anything about these Playmobil eggs?
« on: February 20, 2012, 13:55:44 »
Hi!

I was doing some sorting in my Playmobil stuff and I came around those two eggs.  I went to PlaymoDB to know a bit more about these and I couldn't find anything...  Is it me that is blind or something?.... Does anyone know anything about these eggs?  Could it be that these are promo stuff or something like that?.....

Best regards from Canada!

Those were promos for an open day at the factory... I think.

Hi Tahra!

Do you know if there are others like this?  In what year were they issued?  Are they scarce?

Thanks!  :wave:

AFAIK, there are 3 colors...

I just found mine again recently - I think I posted what was in them in the PROCESS... Two had  Mobilux & Patrick F Patrick, the other the snow guy & kids...

Have no idea if they're rare or not.

Edit - the eggs have a date for the event: 16-5-98

The origin of these eggs were bugging me, and tahra left a good lead......

I went through the Playmobil Collector guide and I finally found something on page 444.  The two eggs shown on the first post were part of a serie of 3 different eggs that were given in 1998 on "Open Factory day"......

The last thing to know is the "Open Factory day" of what?  I would guess it's Fun Park in Germany... In fact like tahra mentionned there is a sticker on these eggs that says

"Tag der offenen Tür" & "Diettenhofen 16.5.98"..... Can somebody translate that?

How the hell did I get my hands on those eggs?  I don't have any idea... I for sure wasn't there on opening day in Germany!  :lol:

Well, it's great to eliminate some clouds over these eggs...


I leave you a scan of the page in the Playmobil guide...

The first part of that just says the equivalent of "Open Door Day"
The second part is the date it happened and Diettenhofen is the small city where the main Playmobil factory in Germany is located. The Funpark is in Zirndorf, so this must have been a literal factory day probably with tours at the production facility.
