I think there has been a misunderstanding between the toaster set that includes 10 toasts and a single toast. not that this is important by any means...  :) :)

When and if it gets to the US if it is under $10 I will get somewhere around 20ish and a lot of extra taps from DS  for when all the used ones that get sold years later.

Is this more an If or more of a When?

Because these old sets look wonderful!... And I've got some US based klickys that would enjoy some toast with a frothy stein of beer.

It's a when.
This year's German DS add-ons will be next year's in the export market. The limited quantity items and monthly specials don't carry through, but the regular add-on releases normally do.

Thank you! I'm learning more everyday!... And I'll wait patiently for the Bakery and Beer Keg to find their way overseas. In the meantime, is there a simple way to tell what is a Limited Edition?

I see you too put in a back door also ;) I can not recall what sets but there were some that did not make it to the US. Also we have been getting the shaft on specials release dates

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:

I don't remember any regular catalog sets that didn't make it at least briefly? There is the red Nessie, but that was never in the catalog - it was a monthly special.

some that I remember are 4334, 4335, 4336 & 4337. I do not think these micro sets were exclusives or anything. The strange thing is I do not remember ever seeing them on playmobil's US web site but now they are giving them away in Germany  8}

So I'm NOT crazy! I thought these dissappeared really fast, or were never available here at all.

I allways had the idea that these microsets were a nice idea but didn't do really well in the shops. You can still find some of them here i the shops. Allthough I've had to resort to Ebay and Marktplaats to complete the series.
But the new DS-items seem to do pretty well, so it would be very foolish not to release them world-wide  ;)

I ownder if the moulds used for these re released sets have an operating life that will only allow a certain number to be produced beofre new ones are needed and ( i dont know i am just speculating ) in that case sales forecasts and sales so far will determine if its worth continue making them etc etc.  :)
