Packet of gemstones - what is the story behind it?

[JLMatterer]

I found this today in an old storage bin at a toystore.

Interesting. The same part but different packaging, and no map card.

What's up with this site? I can't see much for sale yet. Seems like it could be a great way to source parts.

I wondered about that. I tried to register for the site & am not able to.

I managed to register but with hiccups, and even though I'm now logged in it's still showing the register boxes.

It seems very new and not properly worked out yet. How did you find out about it?

Heh, they're using Think Geek's April Fool's Day product of a Playmobil Apple Store to illustrate the "trade" part of the website.

I still can't register; I see that they have members going back to Sept 2013, but the site does seem very new & incomplete. It's probably doing nothing & going nowhere - too bad. I discovered it when I did a word search on Playmobil 30 88 0132.

It's a really great idea - a central parts market, of the kind that the Gnomes of Zirndorf have thus far inexplicably failed to set up.

I'm going to continue to try registering; maybe I'll have luck doing it from my phone or tablet.

They've taken my parts images to populate their catalogue, descriptions and categories as well. Not impressed. The images themselves are copyrighted to Playmobil, but the photos and data certainly are not. I'll have to write them, that's not acceptable.
