No, I haven't seen them yet. I've checked TRU today. What's that other company that gets exclusive sets every year? Is it costco?

The only set I remember at Costco was the big farm set. Target used to get them but when the food area came in they cut the toy department by 25% and playmobil got the ax. hmmmm
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

How is the confederate blister pack mysterious?

Didn't you get them in the usa at TRU too?

So that's what happened. Too bad, that was one easy way to get cheap Playmobil. :-\

It's getting more & more difficult to get Playmobil around places here! Just a few brick & mortar shops, TRU, Playmobil online, & eBay.
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

No, I did not ever see 5799 at TRU.

There was a safari set and a firefighting set recently from costco.

Do you recall the set #'s. don't tell me if it was a set with the classic steck building similar to the $29 Target 5759 you will just make me cry and that is not pretty  ;) I am still kicking my self for not buying dozens of them, I sense a tear forming  :(

it's very frustrating not to know more news about these sets, it's been a while... ??? :( ???

No nothing exciting like that! If my memory serves me correctly, iy was this set: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5879 and this set: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5922 I'm still kicking myself for not getting that safari set, as now I have to pay evilbay prices for it. It has the old style tree in it that I would love to have a few of, plus I could use that baseplate.
