Well, I actually let my fingers do the walking and called the local ToysRUs.  (I have to confess I was very reluctant due to the fact they don't really seem too knowledgable about what they have and the toys they stock.)

However, I can state, that according the girl I talked to, YES, ToysRUs in Canada has these as well.

They are 2.99 each.  However, the local shop said they only have the 'blue' ones in.  Or at least 'out'.  She didn't think they'd sold out of the pink one so maybe they are just not out of the back yet or just not shipped to the store yet.

Learning Express here had them for 4.99 each. :hmm: But I got a bunch at TRU for 2.99 each, plus a discount since they were having a grand opening sale! ;D

I'm just hoping TRU has another sale prior to Christmas - they just had a 20% off sale here.

I'm not enthusiastic about any of the blue (boys) figures. The pink ones are so much nicer in my opinion.

Funny that all you guys like the girl figures better; I actually like the boy figures better!

Watch for another Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale at TRU.  They do that every few months. They certainly will have at least one more 25% off sale also.

Sniff. We dont appear to have them in Australian stores yet. I have a TRU with an extrmely limited playmobil selection but I know I will be snapping some of those pink bags up once they arrive (yes, I am a pink bag fan too!). I have seen some on ebay from an Australian seller but the price is too, too high.

Just back from a lunchtime PM run. Got 2 of the blue F?gures at TRU for 2.99$. That seems to be the price here in Mtl. Managed to feel my way around and end up with the Dragon Knight and Headsman. So only looking for the blue knight now and then it is on to 5204.

of the blue pack I want:

the knight
the mummy
zorro?!?!?! wow!
the cook
the rockstar
uncle sam
the grim reaper who looks like Slash
and the executioner!!!


oddly, I want EVERY SINGLE one from the pink pack:


for the blue packs, I wonder how good I would be at figuring out which clicky is in there just by feeling the package with my greedy little fingers? lol

I finally went to TRU last night and "felt up" most of the bags, lol.  I was able to identify almost all of them except the witch and the mummy (cuz I didn't get to feel all the bags in time).  I didn't have enough for all of them so I just picked the two I wanted most:  ZORRO, and the Medieval woman with a pointy hat and birdseed(?) with a dove.  Sure enough, they were the ones I got!

Interestingly, the medieval woman has stick-on star jewels that you have to apply yourself.....did PM take a page from our forums (Tonguello, EmmaJ, etc???) Or was it the other way around?

I had fun positioning the tiny micro stickers.  And my kids got frustrated attempting to assemble the clickies from scratch.   I ended up having to do most of it for them.  And the only thing that bugs me is Zorro's gloves are red.  I stole my roman horse-mounted leader's horse for Zorro to use.  Oh yeah, and Zorro's flimsy cape keeps falling off!  Grrr!!!  (I have this same moulded cape on older clickies that don't have this problem, but this one falls off because it's made out of a thinner cheapo material!).

I must come back now for the witch and mummy my favourites.  And the rest of the medieval women.  And the cook.

Oh yeah, and I got several weird looks from customers and workers as they passed by wondering what the heck I was doing when I was feeling up the bags like that, lol.  But I don't care! :p
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!

Yup. one can get weird loooookkkkssss while squeezing the Figures trying to figure out whatthehelltheyare! I did most of my feeling in the local toystore where they know me and don't mind at all. Glad no one was arrested for something or other!

In the end they are worth squeezing because there are some pretty cool dudes and dudettes in the first series. Can't wait for the second round, Pgal :wave:

(Does anyone know when the next series will arrive in the US? How about in Germany?)

After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!
