american pirates sets arriving in europe?
« on: October 17, 2010, 02:47:09 »
:o the german toys r'us website has the 5775 set for sale - http://www.toysrus.de/product/index.jsp?productId=4142801.
this was (as far as i know) an american "exclusive" set.

 :o ... and the english tesco website shows the 5869 schooner - http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-3705.aspx.
like the one above this used to be an "american" set.

 :'( i still miss these 2 sets - the shipping costs from the u.s.a. were always too high.
 :hmm: maybe now it will be easier (and tesco is even selling them at half price).

 :) do any of you have some more information about this ?
 ??? will the other american pirate sets - the "smaller" 5865 and 5868, the 5802 blister - be available this side of the atlantic ?

They are also on the UK Playmobil site in the 'Last chance to buy' section, along with a load of other US exclusives 8-)

The one with the red sails, from the Bart Smit outlet at City 2 in Brussels, if I remember correctly.

 :-[ On close inspection they are a different combination of them, although they are still US ones I think. Sorry I am not a very good Pirate expert :-[
