Discontinued Wintertime Snow Car #3693 being Reissued?!

[Robbie]

Hey everyone!
It's been a while since I've been on here but I was just browsing eBay and came across this. It's the same exact set (the wheels are slightly different), but the box is not the old style with a diorama on the back. This is an awesome set and I'd like to get another if they are going to be widely available.

Hmmm...
I wonder what's up with that. It's an old set, but the packaging is in the newer style.

Looks like you're right, Robbie, and that it is being re-issued. 

I'm going to look out for that one too. What a cool car!

[Little Jo]

Yes, it has been re-issued. It was a "special offer" last winter here in Germany in REAL markets ... or was it Kaufhof?

Is it still available in the shops there, or are all the sets gone now?

Thanks!
That would be great, Andi! I'll e-mail you.

Thanks for the information. Too bad we don't receive such exciting exclusives in the USA! The Playmobil Pals are a good attempt but the color of the Mummy Pal(4531) compared to the original just doesn't cut it.

This is a nice set, but doesn't ring my bell so much

Robbie - the Crocodile Expedition hovercraft is a pretty cool (at least so far) US only set, unfortunately it was hard to get hold of. I am very fond of the ccurrent white shark too.

That Croc sets is SWEET Tim! I have been trying to get one for a while, but I think it was only available at Meijer's stores, and the nearest one is several hundred miles away! Hopefully, like the Unicorn sets, they will release it more widely as well.
