That would definitely save on the overseas costs. But I think FAO stores are only in the United States from what I've heard.

Currently there is only one FAO location in the world... 5th Avenue in New York... but FAO toys are sold in all the TRU's I've seen lately...

While the economy was on steroids FAO was really a big catalog presence with over the top items such as $10,000 tree houses and $5000 MBZ's for kids  :rock:

I see. I've never heard of the store or its toys until these new sets were mentioned. If it's just one famous store, maybe there is a chance for the FAO sets to make it to European Toys'R'Us stores!

Because of the store specific box I doubt that they will... BUT I would expect that the DS catalog next year will include some if not all of the component sets as add-ons

Hi all, I have been gone for awhile from Playmobil, but this Victorian set has made me re-appear.
 :)

I just wanted to post to let you all know that, if you have seen the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks, then you are familiar with FAO Schwarz.  Playmobil and the "Big piano" at FAO make their appearances in that movie.

I visited FAO on a trip to New York in 2002, and there was a whole room set up with the modern theme - grocery store, airport, etc.  I am trying to attach pictures.  Thanks to that trip, I started my collecting frenzy, and it's been downhill ever since.

I used to take my class to FAO Schwarz as part of our Christmas outing.  The kids loved it (almost as much as I did.  :lol: )  We would then go down 5th Avenue and see all of the stores with their decorations.  It is one of my fondest memories.    :cloud9:
