Where do you like to buy your Playmo?
« on: September 07, 2011, 23:53:50 »
So, where do PlaymoFriends buy their Playmobil ???? Do you get it online or at a store? Are you lucky enough to have a FunPark or Playmo-outlet near you  ???? I get my Playmobil from Toys R Us.

i think in most cases it depends on the situation - if it's a discontinued set i go for ebay :)

stuff from the current catalog can be purchased almost at any local store no?

The online shop I guess is my favorite place to get stuff, though I probably buy  just as much or more from tru and ebay. Tru has good sales, online shop had add-ons, and ebay had discontinued stuff.

It seems like a few people would like to choose several choices, but I can't edit the number of votes a person can have anymore  :-\. Go ahead and pick your very favorite place to buy Playmobil.

Yeah... i think the only way would be down at the very bottom, there's a remove poll button, and then you could add a poll, doing it differently this time. Do you have that option? Or is it only mods, I wonder?

A great question! I buy from all of these sources depending on the item, and enjoy purchasing from each for different reasons. Cannot get everything from any one distribution channel or outlet, so it is necessary to use all of them if you collect.

If I have to choose one favorite source, it would be the local, independent toy shop because they offer so much selection and are really nice folks to do business with; they can answer most of your questions having been in the business for over 20 years just down the street from where I live. And it is so much fun watching others, especially children, mesmerized by all of the cool merchandise at Science Safari.

I find that price is not the most critical factor when i buy PM although I do pick up some on sale now and then.

Cheers, Pgal :wave:

Online shop is where I buy most of my Playmobil...
But my favorite place? I think EBay,
Because they can have very good sales with older items. :)9
At least EBay is my favorite ave to buy from
when I am not annoyed at it for changing some rules when auctioning... :hmm: ;)
