1980 Marx toys catalogue
« on: November 17, 2008, 19:58:26 »
Hello,
I have a marx toys catalogue.
I haven´t a scanner here but I have made some pictures.
If you can not see them correctly maybe you can see them a little bigger in the spanish board.

I  bought a 1981 UK catalogue.
It's the first catalogue where playmobil sell in UK without MarxToys company.
the catalogue is not very interesting itself. Typical german sets from 80s....

But the item was from a man who closed down his toystore, but he still received the catalogues from toy companys some years.
Then within the catalogue there was a gift ;). A letter from Playmobil about the new company in UK, the expired licence od Marx toy to sell playpeople etc...

I  think you can read it but I  put the picture in the web for some days...

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

 :P Wow, what can I say, congratulations I guess. Stunning catalog, I doubt though if many of these sets (you know the ones I'm referring to) have ever been released with the Playpeople logo on it. I'm again very curious where you find this. If on ebay, I despise myself for having missed it  >:(

Saludos,

Eddy

Thank you for sharing these photos with us Aleon! I never cease to amazed at the sheer quantity of items that have been produced (and gone before I knew of them).
