More info about Playmobil Figures in Surprise Bags...

Maybe they have read on here that alot of us want to buy them by the box and pulled them to add more stock.

I really, really like some of these figures, especially the Uncle Sam. My grandmother loves all things Patriotic and I must get this one for her. 

Let's hope they didn't pull these altogether and instead maybe they are going to repackage them with the klickys already assembled to avoid any safety issue that might have arisen?

[Hadoque]

If I remember correctly there was no official price for them mentioned, only that they would be released in june (or was it july?  )...  so maybe they pulled them off untill they've decided the price at which to sell them

Maybe they will only be sold in stores, not online?

Maybe we're all just speculating?

[Robbie]

Interesting point, Bonnie! 

Maybe if they sold them online, people would complain..."You keep sending me the same figure, it's a conspiracy". But if someone has to choose them in the store, it's their own fault for choosing the same figure twice.

I thought they were going to be 2 euros or was it 2 dollars. It would make sense to be in euros and do the horrid exchange rate to dollars

[gloobey]

but they are not on the US web site and all the other sets that are going to be released this year are ?

I just got a new price list from my sales rep. today and these figures are on there. It looks like they will be available Agust 1 or sooner, depending on container shipping.

There are three other sets on the price list that I can't find anywhere on the web. A school bus, green recycling truck and rescue ambulance. I can provide set numbers tomorrow when I get to the shop. I'm really excited to see the school bus! Does anyone have any news on it?

There's a couple of threads discussing them here. There's a review of the school bus in the report and review section. However, we've all been wondering about the recycling truck, because it doesn't seem to be available at TRU, so it would be great to hear any information you have on it!

retail is either $2.99 or $3.99 USD, I can't remember which. I'll confirm the price when I get back down to the shop and can look at the price list...
