Did anyone know that they took out the circus theme out of the market and know everyone is buying them because theres no more of them, and the Playmobil is not making them anymore. Now everyone is selling them on eBay for super high prices! Like the main circus tent coast no less than $100! :(o): Did anyone know about this?

Oh than good because in the US and Germany, theres no more! You know what you could do..well you could buy a few sets and sell them here in the US in eBay because everyone wants them. Just if you wanted to, you don't have to. Its just a good idea, I wanted to tell you.

Because yesterday I bought three circus tents and three clown bands, Nad I could sell each tent for about $120 dolars,and each of those clown bands for like $20 each, and thats not a bad deal!
-
Oh and then the the single clown with the flower, I bought four I can sell each for about $8 or $9 dollars.

This theme is still on Greek playmobil catalogue...and the shops are filled with those sets...nobody is buying them...it has no great appeal to the children i suppose... Neither to me...
-
Me too I'm not so interested in the circus theme, but they are so good for selling! ;D

Ditto in the UK and US from what I saw and see on the shelves. I even saw big Circus set at TK Maxx but left it on the shelf because of the price.
Why would people buy them for BIG prices when they shunned them at regular prices?

I've just bought the new big tent version but only as I got a good deal with the horse show as well. I'm not really into the circus stuff but I've got about 10 clowns now which I do really like :love: and I thought the Big Top would be great to show them off in, and I wanted to checkout the parts! :-[

I'm not sure either Martin. I mean why did they become so popular when they had them all year long in the market?

in athens there are not many of them on toy stores they never where in some toy stores you don't even see circuses !!!!! perhaps they don't even order them because no one buys them !!!!

If Playmobil is discontinuing the Circus theme, perhaps it will be replaced by...(dare I even hope?)...Greeks?
(Nah...too much to hope for.)

I think he means if they put in something or another theme of playmobil taking the place of the circus theme.

see at my other topic on report and review
the reason of retiring a set and the period of time it's on the market
-
Thanks playmo1989 for the information!
But I still don't quite get why the Playmobil retired the circus set. At least I know what they could replace it with.

as they retire everything some day ,they retired this now. for how long was on the market?
-
Hmmm... this is a theme that didn't seem to sell well in the states- there aren't many real circuses around.
But some years ago my wife got me most of the sets, with the exception of the big top itself.
They're great sets- I am totally going to try to get a deal on the tent, I anticipate my kids will love them a few years in the future.
