My next door neighbor just died at nearly 90, she was very overweight most of her life, and ate a farm-girl diet, lots of lard and all. You just never know.

Not as fabulous anymore... and carries only a little Playmobil.
I didn't see anything to get too worked up about, except some cargo ships.
And of course, everything was considerably more then what you would normally pay. ::)

NY! :love:
One of the greatest places in the world I am sure! ;D
I absolutely love it. :)

I seem to have missed something though,
Alex, are you moving to NY? Or on vacation or what? ???
How long will you be there. :wave:

. . . Express and Toys R Us .... i'll have to see where are these stores ,definetly not in astoria though

Hi Alex!  Welcome to the US!  Shopping in NYC can be quite challenging - when you say "Astoria" I assume that you mean the Astoria section of the borough of Queens - is that correct?  If so, one way to locate stores that sell Playmobil is to use the "Store Locator" box on the home page of Playmobil USA.  Use the "zip code" (postal code) for your area (Astoria seems to have six zip codes:  11101, 11102, 11103, 11104, 11105, and 11106) and you will get a list of stores in the area that sell Playmobil.  Hope this helps!   :)

I would definitely suggest that you telephone the stores before visiting to see if they still carry Playmobil (or even if they are still in existence!) because I have noticed that, in my area (Boston) there are some out-of-date entries in the store lists - but at least it is a place to start!

I have found in the past the this info is a bit dated so once you get the names/numbers of the stores off the list I would call to confirm the stores are still stocking playmobil and are even still physically there  ;)

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:

That's so funny, Rasputin!  I was amending my comment to say the same thing while you were posting your comment!  Great minds . . .  ;D

It is amazing to me that they don't do a better job with keeping this information up-to-date.  How difficult can it be?  A store places a wholesale order, you put them in the list - done.

FAO Schwarz is now owned by ToysRUs (sad but true) and there is only one physical store remaining anywhere - it is located in New York City on 5th Avenue at 58th Street in the first floor of the GM Building.  Many ToysRUS stores have a special section for FAO Schwarz items and there is an online FAO Schwarz store (they also have an ebay store -  8})  In the past, when FAO Schwarz was a real toy store and not just a "name" they had many stores around the country (mostly in big cities) and they did carry a pretty full line of Playmobil.  I will never forget the Playmobil "Boston Tea Party" scene that was on display in the Boston store many years ago - it was fabulous!  Unfortunately that was before the time of cell phone cameras so, no pix.   :'(

Yes, that store locator thing is almost useless, I find. :hmm: Extremely outdated!

Maybe it would be good to find things that are old (and still on the shelves).
