Maybe if you were under the influence you might think you were in the above when in actuality you were in a police car...

No, it's a modern taxi, not a 40's police car.

I was away this weekend, but I am London based and can try and head to Hamley's to find out if they're there.

The other Hamley's exclusive was £6, but if you were going out of your way to fake it you would know that

Sorry for the ignorance, when it is "unreal" what does it mean?
who manufactures the "unreal" sets? who do they sell them to?
Another thing: I saw Playmobil figures sold in chinese site (As Aliexpress) as new,
they look only partially equipped. Are they real or fake?
thanks.

"Series UK" is spelled wrong on the boxes.

'Serie' is German for series, though why is it not in English?

It's a while since I've been up to that London, but I've never seen double decker buses with flashing lights at the top of the front.

Who is Juan in the colour code panel?

Why is the set number so different from normal?

The two vehicles are fakes. Nice but fakes.

Those two vehicles ARE "fanmade", and not recent...

I don't think they even aim to be taken as real - like you said, Graham..

And the 23 doesn't appear to go to Hyde Park.
