Well rollercoasters might not be seen as a girly thing so probably not pink. Just really bright colors probably and with no way to make it bigger even if you buy multible.

 :hmm: idiot fake bidders on there... don't understand why ebay doesn't close those accounts.
well, it's def not new ;-)  I wouldn't pay that mouch for it, even when it was MISB.

Anyway, not entirely true: i'm also a collector and always looking for nice things on ebay, sometimes i do start of with my max bid and wait how it goes.
I never use the same methods when bidding. sometimes i wait until last moment, sometimes i start right away ;-)

the rollercoaster itself is indeed not a Playmobil-design/product, but is from a local Japanese toymanufacturer. They decided to collaborate with Geobra to market the thing, and so klickies were added and it was marketed & sold in a "Playmobil"-box.
Looking at pictures of the piece  it indeed doesn´t correspond much imho with what Playmobil´s 1980s toys look like from a design & quality standpoint. Sure, it has some stickers/colours resembling the blue circus from that era, but that´s about it.

i try to search a similar toy from the manufacturer, and in fact Calico critters was introduced in 1985 by epoch, and even when the scale is similar theres no roller coaster.

If Playmobil is going to release a roller coaster, now is the time with the amusement park theme.

It sold... for 2,250 Euro (82 bids, 10 bidders: there were 90 bids at one stage, so one bidder at least must have withdrawn).
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)

It would absolutely be the right time... But I doubt they would be that ambitious. Though I know many of us would purchase it
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)
