5920 and 5921 at Costco Canada
« on: October 03, 2010, 02:18:19 »
Every year Costco gets 2 Playmobil sets. Last year they were a Pirate set and a Knight set that I had. This year, brand new sets neve seen before (at least in Canada) both priced at $49.99 and both are animal related. The first, 5920 is the one with marine animals (we've talked about it before) aboat and the seaplane. It was first seen in Greece. I couldnt resist and I got me one of them. The second is 5921 the baby animal Zoo. Also very interesting but I don't think I will be getting it.

I was affraid we would get the ugly fire set as described by Rona  but it seems the Gods have decided to spare Canada

I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Two nice sets Nick. The first looks a little like one I was looking at in our TRU....it also had a lot of whales but was not exactly like this one. Must try and get a pic.

The seaplane set looks very nice.  Will you do us a review, please, Nick?

How did you get a pirate and a knights' set last year at Costco?!?!  (I believe that was the year before here.)

Here (in Saskatoon) we had a fire set and a smaller pony ranch set (with brown walls and dark blue roof).

Firefighter stuff is not my thing (knights and pirates) nor my daughters'.

Wait, the knight and pirate sets here were not the year before last (2008) but in 2007.  Costco here had the police set in 2008.  The same one shown here: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2642.0

The police sets did not sell and were still stocked on the pallet well after Christmas until they were removed and sent to a local auction house (PBR Auctions - where all the local Costco merchandise is sent when the rag it out - I am sure there is an auction house in ever city where there is a Costco that gets the old merchandise to dispose of, so everyone should find that and then pick up the sets for half to a third of the price (or less) when they do a change-over).

I've have never seen any Playmobil at Costco here in the States . . . maybe I am just too busy searching the cookie isle!  :lol: :lol:

I like these sets. I'm pretty sure that's the same seaplane that TRU is selling now.

It is the same as the 4445, just different colours.
