Hi everyone. Haven't been posting lately but I had one thing to add about these surprise bags. The boy and I have recently gone over to the Dark Side (Star Wars Lego) and I have seen discussions on some of those boards about bump codes on the surprise bags (decoders available online). I have noticed bumps on my PM surprise bags but haven't purchased enough to know if they are consistent. As a community it is definetly something to look at as Series 3 starts to hit shelves.

"more than that : the plastic they use for theses playmobils is really a bad quality comparing what they use to sell ."

This part is really disappointing to me. I am not buying the mystery figures (no need for cheerleaders, lol) but now I have a huge reason not to.

plastic for toys is under great scrutiny by parent groups who are wanting to rubber coat the world for that one child who got hurt.  ::) Yes the modern plastic is diffrent but sometimes it actually improves the results. Plastic used to deteriorate quite fast in sunlight but now they can add UV resistant ingredients.

As far as taking ideas or customs, what came first the chicken or the egg, good luck figuring it out as everything on this planet was copied from somewhere or something
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:

Two questions: Has any one had problems with missing parts? I had a problem earlier with a deformed piece, now I opened a set for my grand-daughter and it is missing half a dress, and the upper body part.
Also, is the 'convict/prisoner/chain gang guy supposed to have stripes on both sides of his body or just the front? One side seems lame, but that's what we got. I just wondered if he should have had them on both sides of his torso.

Nope, no missing parts here-just a few extra ones.The prisoner only has stripes in the front, what's indeed a bit weird.

no missing parts for me, just extra ones and the kids must have opened over 100
