Ladies and Gentleman I normally do not purchase an item I already have, however I came across a toy store that had closed their retail store front years ago and moved to online only. I had bought one item off them awhile back on e-bay and had asked the owner if they had any other items of the western theme. They did, a warehouse full of old playmobil toys never used, never opened, never sold. They sent me a list and I wrote back to them with all the ones I wanted.

I love this thread and enjoy your collection very much.

Pray, tell us: what incredible treasure trove have you uncovered there! Or keep it stumm and suck it dry - seeing the period pieces that you are showing today, there must be some incredible gems there, "never used, never opened, never sold".

Best wishes
StJohn

Playmobil 4122 from 1987, interesting note, on Playmodb it shows a date of release of 1988, however this box clearly states 1987 on the side, the other ones in my collection show 1988, 1992. Heather this may be of interest to you. 1987-1988 were the only year that had stickers that needed to be applied, the 1989 came with stickers pre-applied and the 1992 version came screen printed. I now have all three versions of this rail car. Also of interest is the 1992 version came with playmobil stickers on top of box to seal it.

I never realised the Western train carrage had that really cool interior.....

(I try to avoid looking at the Western Train since the chances of me ever being able to justify buying it are virtually nil)

They are expensive, in Canada for a 4034 mint in the box never used I ended up paying  over 1500.00CAD I have seen one other that went for 1700.00CAD and I got 4033 mint in the box still sealed for around 2100.00CAD (after shipping and taxes). You can get used ones with most of their pieces for around 600.00- 800.00 CAD without box or go for Playmobil 4054 and get one for about 400.00CAD without box. and purchase the rail cars stand alone. You can get them without boxes for 45-75 CAD.

4032 (UK version),4033 and 4034 are extremely rare for mint in the box ones, you will usually only find them used without a box  or with a box that is in rough condition missing pieces. It was a very expensive item when they came out so to find one unopened you will need to be extremely lucky. What you can try doing is buying a broken one/ missing pieces and buy the bits that are missing.

StJohn,

Thank you for the wishes, I am glad that others enjoy this theme as much as I do.

Sincerely,

The worst part about it is that it was nearly bought for me as a child, but I ended up going for 4001 since I felt it would work in more settings (I could use it with Victorian, Western or modern Playmobil). The number of times I came close to buying super rare sets as a child.....

Even if you had gotten one as a child it is hard to say what condition it would still be in. I was given 4034 as a child but as I had mentioned before even though I took extremely good care of it, once my brother got at it that was it. He ended up trying to ride it and broke most of the rail cars. I still have them and all their mangeled pieces. Most of the mint sets you find now are from collectors who bought them as adults back when these sets came out or toy stores that still have old stock.
