Can that be true? Can they really intend NOT to release this set in a market rich with budding Paleozoologists?

Well, I do not think that this is a "marketing strategy" of playmobil to first serve the german market. It is a marketing strategy of "Idee & Spiel" (a consortium of middle sized toy stores) to have something special and exclusive to compete against giants like TRU and similiar.
So they sit together and discuss about how to make a fancy exclusive one without too much expenses... Cool, something with dinasaurs... ...Well, take only existing moulds, rerelease it with slightly new colors and... ...okay... ...invest in a few new tampons to get them a new pattern... They even recycled the box design...

And Playmobil is in contract with them to produce these items exclusively. So I am not sure if the club will make it easier to get these sets...  ???

Well lets see... I like the set, even though I will not buy it as I have all the old dino sets... :)

best,
socrates

This is definitely a set that Junior would love, wish it was available here in the UK.  :(

Hi

Now we must not forget that if everyone could get it it would not be so exclusive. It goes the same for the "limited edition" It would not be very collectible if it was everywhere.

I too want these exclusive sets but I guess I am not willing to pay 2 X the original price.

Thanks Amir, that makes a bit more sense. I didn't realise that Idee & Spiel was an independent store, as I never heard of it before.m I'd still like to get this set, but like Ras I'm not keen on paying 2x what it should cost if released here, including P&P.

If Plyamobil Hellas brings this set in the greek market in about a year and a half, its price will probably be anything between 50 and 100 euros!

Hi Friends,

i hope that all collectors can get some exclusive stuff more easy,too
Bothsides !
But the problem for german collectors is to get US Sets !

The big problem is the big shipping cost !!
To bring this Dino Set or the Mountain Set or the ADAC, outside germany (europe) cost 35 EUR !!
That is many money for one Set !!

I think this must be one of many many assignment of the Playmobil Club.
But lets wait the time brings the maturity !

world greets
