The two Thüringer sports stars Erik Lesser und Dajana Eitberger Official have sponsored the new set. The Oberhof mascot "Flocke" is also present. The figures were commissioned by the national marketing company Das ist Thüringen to promote both the 2023 events and the tourist location of Oberhof. The set is available now at www.thueringen-shop.de , Oberhof tourist information and directly in the PLAYMOBIL online shop from mid-January.

Hmmm, so no 2022 Winter Olympics sets ?  I was really looking forward to some Chinese sets
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

The set is available now at www.thueringen-shop.de

It's only 7.99€ which seems quite good value to me! But shipping outside Germany is not cheap (or possible if you live outside the EU, though I was puzzled as to why Northern Ireland was included as a shipping destination and not the rest of the UK, but they won't ship to NI anyway!).
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

That's a nice set. Glad it will be available from Playmobil.de that makes it a lot easier to get.

Do you mean official ones? I know they did those previous 'Olympic' sets but were those licensed or was it just them being sneaky? I guess they think the Winter Olympics are less high profile, or the previous ones didn't sell so well.

As far as I understand it, NI is (essentially) still within the EU, so the Brexit related problems shouldn't apply there.

Geobra likes the “sneaky” route as much as possible . They used the term Sports & Action and had all the flags but never used the Audi (I mean Olympic) logo or the copyrighted word “Olympics”

Well, apparently 3rd rate customers don't get this in their ds, right?

I was hopeful (a fool's hope), since it would be a lot cheaper that way...

So, does anyone know whether this set will be available outside of Germany? I tried buying it from playmobil.de but unfortunately had the same issue as above...
