Not so surprising because the wedding pavillon has the same roof as does the 5301 which quit the shelf only last year.

ah yes! makes sense now! ;)

The three different colored flower blossoms are used in some recent sets so they may be still available, but presently out of stock. The green flower stems were used in current sets like the 4857 Summer House also. The brown flower box fillers were only used in older sets. If they are discontinued, the part equal to it is the green filler 30249790 & may be used as a substitute, but is not a color match, but will work. The flower boxes 30057520 were also used in the recent 5301 Grande Mansion & may be still available also.

Yes, I kind of expected the brown flower boxes to be unavailable but the flowers...I can't believe everything is out of stock. I did ask for some green flower boxes for the Grande Mansion we have and these too were unavailable.

You may need to contact some members in the UK or Germany to get these items. USA DS will not probably get restocked for quite a while. With Pay Pal the transaction can be done quite smoothly.

I'm waiting Monday to talk to DS and depending on what they tell me, I might post my list here and see if anyone can help.

Why would different DS take longer that others to get particular items back in stock? Does Playmobil only produce these extras on specific demand?

I guess it just depends on if they have sold out or not. If one DS is sold out, the next may have it.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

German DS supplies Europe & the UK direct from the Playmobil factory. USA DS must resupply periodically & may run out or not have enough demand for something causing repeated out of stock status. From USA DS it may take up to a year to complete an order.

I called them on Monday and they said they are getting a new shipment in 2 weeks so I'll try to place a second order then.

Word of advise, call every day near the order arrival date so they don't sell out before you get a chance.
