2 new sets at Costco

Yeah, I actually think I will get this set. It stinks that they produce such stupid sets that may be some kid's first and probably last experience with playmobil. But it's a useful building for adding to an existing collection. I've thought of some uses for it already, and since it's white it will blend with other pieces better than the blue one from the animal clinic. In fact I may need more than one.

Yes it is usefull to add as a so called "cannon fodder" building in a scene but I think I will wait till they are priced accordingly, used locally and auctions for something in the range of $10

I like this set,the only disadvantage I think is the building that cannot be connected with other system x!The bus is quite good and I prefer it more than other school buses!

So now not only have the other themes been infected with the modular building system but now system x has morphed somehow into it also. It was bad enough when playmo converted from steck to system x but now this? It takes the ugliness of system x's holes and makes it useless when you want to build custom buildings. Those parts look like they were engineered to use the least amount of plastic possible. The bus was ok but since it was farmed out to china it lacks certain features that were playmobil standards. Yes it was only $20 but this is playmo where we expect to get what we pay for and that is excellence in toys and we pay more for it.

I really like the american school bus (yes, it's not from the core themes!   )... but not the half building...

Unfortunately, never saw the bus around.

It reflects the world's economical crisis: mum & dad have to drive themselves their 2 kids with a chinese-made schoolbus to an unfinished schoolbuilding, and then transform themselves into teachers 

Exactly. I was so disappointed when I saw this set at Costco. So very different than the Playmobil I grew up with.

I tried to warn everyone that the set was bad
