Saw that someplace - not the PCC.

Of course, more expensive than the german variation...

I don't think that's really new. Hasn't the Playmobil mag been available in the UK for a couple of years now?

I THINK there was an issue available, but I'm not sure it was a "permanent thing"..

My bet is that it'll be just like the UK version. I don't think I ever bothered reading them. They were pointless unless you were 5 years old.

I do thing it is the same Playmobil Magazine but one is being produce in Shrewsbury by Redan Publishing about every six weeks. It is available from supermarkets and some newsagents. On the front is a Playmobil figure the price in the U.K. is £3.99.
The next issue number 5 is due out on the 23rd January. The stockist helpline is 01895433600. It will be on sale in Australia and New Zealand in March.

The Playmobil magazine has a new issue out in the UK available at Tescos I believe. It is the dinosaur edition with the baby T-rex in it. I wasn't able to get a copy of the German version of that but now I have a contact in the UK sending me the Uk one. So soon I will have that baby T-rex, unique to the magazine.

Got one today from Tesco!


Redan publish this (www.redan.co.uk) and state it is aimed at boys aged 3 to 9, published 6-weekly, circulation 50,000, cover price £3.99, back issues available from them.

So you were right, flatcat, they are aimed at young children. I will just have to buy something else to read...

What is a shame is that they are aimed exclusively at boys, not even a girls' edition, or alternating boys' and girls', or (heaven help us) a co-educational one!

Why do you say it's "aimed exclusively at boys?"

(btw, the "girls mag" is insulting - without really understanding german!)

I don't have it, but I'd guess that there aren't any girl characters in the stories (or they play a minimal role). Also, the cover is a typical boy theme - dinosaurs. :lol:
