Hi,

It was produced under licence by the Japanese firm Epoch in 1989. I do happen to have a Playmobil Epoch catalogue (which includes the rare white suitcase with articlenumber 1000) from 1989, but sadly the rollercoaster is not in there, so that probably means that it was released in late 1989). The parts of the rollercoaster were not original Playmobil, but the figures were and it was an officially licenced product exclusively released in Japan. I am the lucky owner of 2 rollercoasters, one 'misb' and one 'mib'.

This is a very rare piece, congratulations Playmoed  :o! However, I don't think it looks quite like the Playmobil quality I'd expect, even in a liscenced item. The pieces seem too large and colorful. If this were released now, say as an American exclusive, I don't think it would get much good feedback from the collectors.
Despite it's drawbacks, though, I would like to own one of these sets for collecting's sake  ;).

Wow, playmoed, you are one lucky man! If my parents had lived in Japan at the time, I would have asked them to pick one up for me. ;)

If you ever find the need to sell the set... :lol:

 yes i don't think it would be something impressive if it was released today ,the thing that makes it attractive is that it's hard to find ;)
