They seem to be in the later category. They never even released the second round in the US.
But they did, Ras. They just weren't available very long on the Playmobil website. (I wish that my Delivery Note had a shipping date on it but for some reason none of them do and I never bothered to request the actual receipt.) As you can see, I only ordered three of them and less than a week later when I returned to the website to place another order they were no longer available. I had to order the fourth set from a different online toy store so that I would have them all.

And to try to get this thread somewhat back on topic

.... did anyone send the plans to Pingo?
