I'm sure the displays are dealer-owned, as usual... in other words, when they are finished, they have to send them back to playmobil, and can't keep or sell them.
I think the best idea yet is if they would sell a full set of each series online so a collector who wants one of each could get at least that. There are a few I really don't want, like the witch, but parts of them would be useful for customizing. it would be the easiest way for us to get them all. Doesn't help with building armies, though.
A "store" appears to get a box containing the fi?ures, which pops open and is the display. If anyone is dying for a pink or blue or both, let me know as I think they recycle/dispose of them here. They would be costly to mail because the boxes are not small, but if someone is determined to have them, we can wrap them and send them.
If you want a complete box of fi?ures, they will order that too, and I can send it from here to wherever. Will someone who has a full box please post the weight and dimensions, and I'll get you a shipping quote later this week. Sales tax is 7.5 per cent here in NC. Price is 2.99USD per fi?ure unless they raise it.
My heart goes out to folks in remote places after having lived many years in Alaska (yup, it has been a part of the US for over 50 years), Micronesia and Saudi Arabia. And this was before widespread service by Fedex and overnight or any remotely fast parcel service or the internet. At least shipping is relatively fast and much cheaper these days than before.
