a not so new spanish 3900 pirates' schooner
« on: January 27, 2009, 01:38:22 »
 :o browsing through all tha regional playmobil official sites, i found this not-so-new schooner in playmobil.es
 8} it is numbered 3900 and it just looks like the "old" 3174 rotes seerauberschiff (red pirate ship) from 2003 (5733 in u.s.).
 :hmm: is the demand for this set so big in spain that they are re-releasing it?
 :hmm: are they taking over all the 2003 un-sold schooners from all-over the world and putting them in new boxes with a new number?
the playmobil world is becoming a little intriguing...

We have shelves full of unselled pirate ships, we don't understand this new set, because kids likes police, fireman, and knights....

I wonder if the contents have changed slightly, like a new safety harpoon cannon, so it needs a new set number The picture is the same, but maybe they just didn't want to do a new one for a small change.

I've passed over a few of these schooners, lovely as they are, as I only need the two I have.

Martin's wife was looking over his shoulder while he was writing.

Me: Look dear I found another crusader blister at Target!

Her: Don't you already have a crusader? There are 2 in the blister, what are you going to do    with the extra one?

You think you've got problems? Watch me try to explain to my wonderful :love: (:hmm: WIFE) about why my Playmbil City Fire Department keeps growing!

Wife; How many of those do you already have? :hmm:
Me;   I give up, how many? ::)
Wife; No, I'm asking how many you already have of that particular set? ???
Me;   Like I said, I don't know, I haven't taken inventory lately. :-\
Wife; I give up!  :hissyfit:
Me;   OK  ;D
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

 :lol: Now I will never let here see this tread . she might start a "Stop the Playmonuts" site and petition the help of all the other wife's  :lol:

I have found if i keep all the sets out it creates a sort of confusion as to what there was and what is new  8}
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:
