Sorry for the double post. Interestingly, if you look at the description of the case of 48 here http://www.toywiz.com/playmobil10538.html it says it's four each of the twleve figures. So if four different people want one of each, they could go in together on buying a boy case and a girl case. it would be about $65 for each person.

I asked about the quantity per case when we were in Germany and Playmobil staff said there were 'about 4' of each, so there isn't a strict packaging rule they are meeting. I would think there will be some of each in every case but the quantities may vary. I didn't get the impression that they are limiting any one figure at all though, so there shouldn't end up being any one that starts out with fewer available overall. Obviously demand for some will be higher than others, so in the longer term resale prices on the more popular ones will slide up a bit more.

From what I read on KW, it seems Customiser has broken the code on the packages. The only trick is that one figure may have up to 5 different code numbers. I'll get back to you tonight.

Some news I've read  on KW:

*when you put a head from one of the surpise-figures on a regular klicky with a regular inner-frame, the head sits quite loose because of it's different neck-design.

* when pulling a wig (hairpiece) off from a surprise-figure to put another wig on, sometimes the head comes off as well.

* occasionally a surprise-figure's head suddenly pops off and the klicky falls apart.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

My boxes of surprise bags arrived today and I have started a new thread with a decode for anyone who doesn't want the surprise!

I can also confirm that each box had 4 of each figure inside.
