it most certainly does take away for the value in the short run. If 100 people (who are crazy addictive adults) are looking for that old Victorian car made in 198x and there are only 10 old ones available then the price reflects this on auctions. Now throw 1000 new, but different colored one on the market and see what happens to the auction price.

The scalpers at first will try to take advantage of this but it looses steam fast.

In the long run the price for the original will recover, it is truly rare after all, especially MISB. Now for some reason the new version gets a collectible value also with the 2nd timers such as myself.

nobodu forces anyone to buy anything of ebay. but to be honest, sometimes ebay is cheaper as pm from thr DS. atleast i got a few spare parts of ebay and saved a fortune .. u cant say, ebay is always more expensive..

Now bonnies point is what I too am talking about. The Medieval tudor house has now been done in Red, Blue, White, Yellow, Bakery, and now museum. What about all the other themes like the ellusive classic pumper truck Bill can tell us all about. Or  adding to Alex's and Emma's 5300 collections?? what about all the western fans that have been patiently waiting and now we get something that is too similar to something recently retired. Yes a few parts are good but it is not a whole lot of rare parts

What about other themes?

As happy as I am with the "Medieval" re-releases, you're absolutely right, and I for one would like to see a few of the other themes-like fire and rescue- among the re-releases next time. :)

I am extremely excited by the re-release of the museum - please let the shining knight be part of it!

These re-issues will never please everyone.

I think we should be grateful that our suggestions are being considered and that the high sales of the previous selections give credence to us, the collectors.

sure but one theme is dominating and if you look at it they are repetitive in nature, Medieval building. I am not complaining about the choices and I have bought many of all, but there are a lot of other themes

Grateful that we are supporting a company that is being told by its fans for years now "hey you know that old mold you have collecting dust, there is this large group of people with cash who would be willing to buy those if you re-made them"  ;)

I'm personally thrilled with these releases!  I'll be buying at least one of each of these.  I do hope that the advertising column comes with the klickies.

While I do think that these re-releases will diminish the prices of the originals to a certain extent, the original MISB sets will still retain most of their value.  While I can understand that some MISB collectors hoping to profit are upset about these re-releases, they do offer the average Playmobil enthusiast a chance to purchase these sets at reasonable prices and play with them, which is what they were originally intended for.  Personally, if you're buying toys as an investment, you've missed investing 101.  Stocks, bonds, real estate, precious metals, and fine art are the way to go, not plastic toys.

it won't be too long, once they finish re-releasing the medieval sets then all the re-releases will be from other themes  :lol:
