Yup, that definitely is a rip off at about 6USD each. I can check shipping costs out of the US if you want and will see what TRU is charging for them today. Which ones are you missing the most? Cheers, Pgal
After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!

That's the same they cost here now. :-\

they are even better then the first series... and do I see alien figures again?......YES!

It seems they have been listening to some of the things we want to see, and
incorporating them into the F?gures.

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.

Just noticed the Rasta man.  :lol:  Awesome.  I really like all of these figs. and can't wait to get my grubby paws on them.  I suppose I better hurry up and get the rest of series one before they disappear.

Finally bringing the cool figures back by TRUE POPULAR DEMAND :love: :love: :love: :wave:

I guess the wandering monk would be another nice addition :wave:

I don't think they would risk the lawsuits or licensing issues by calling them by their "real names". They might refer to Lady Gaga as "Pop Singer" or something along those lines.  8-)

yeah, I hope so! 8-)

I wonder if the bows on the female jockey klicky are the same as those found on the 3665 princess and the maid in 3627. The originals are next to impossible to find.

In the Playmobil USA Toy Fair video, there was a good look at Series 3 in real life. Amazingly, the robot figure is clear  :D!

Also, here's a really good pic of the dwarf:

thanks for those close ups, Ace

interesting fact about the first guy

as for the dwarf - i love him
i keep thinking the Surprise Figures are so special that they don't need to me mixed among themselves (if you switch those short legs the resulting klicky will look hilarious ;D)
it'll be interesting to see how the dwarf needs to be taken apart, apparently he's a fat klicky
