Ditto what Bogro says, the Feb releases have already been confirmed.

Could you give a link to your source extjmv?

I'm a retailer, Playmobil has confirmed that new specials will be only available in Germany.

Loosk Spanish site, "old" specials are marked as new:

That would be strange, the new specials for Feb are already in the 2009/2010 benelux catalog as well, so I'm confident they will be available in Belgium too.

The US site lists old specials as "new", and doesn't have any of the new specials... :'(

This would be extremely disappointing. I welcome the opportunity to get some of the older Specials we might have missed, but it'd be frustrating to know there are new Specials out which we are being deliberately denied. It's hard enough to get Specials in the US already. Will the new Specials end up as Blister Packs in the US? I've noticed the preference in the US for packaging which shows the product more openly, at the cost of being useless once the packaging has been opened.

One possibility is that Playmobil are adopting the same policy for Specials as they do for larger sets - one set of moulds which are used for one set of markets the first year and another set of markets the second year.  If by diong that they can save 200,000 euros, it's obviously attractive.
