surprise bags for kid = bad surprise for my daughter ...

[gaspodfreud]

i buy last week in germany all the dog and 49 surprises bags for my daughter , she really want the white princess and have really no interest in pom pom girls ....   it's impossible to buy 12 figure and be sure you gonna have one of each ... For me it's a shame !! playmobil say somewhere they are ready to help collector ? psfff ...  they don't want we sell our exedents ? psfff ...  let's see by yourself : it was a big deception for my daughter and me too : i wanted an elvis , and she wanted the white princess ....  more than that : the plastic they use for theses playmobils is really a bad quality comparing what they use to sell . Lots of new heads and hair , it's a good thing for custom but i had to find the rest on ebay if i don't want to sell a thousand figure like that !!!

Did you buy a whole box of boys and girls figures, and there wasn't a single white princess in it, nor an Elvis?!  That's really a shame then! 
Or did you buy the 49 figures loose, randomly? Then it's just bad luck...

I got the ones I want meanwhile (some I just bought from a German ebay-seller I know, to save me the trouble this time to go into the nearest town and feel-search for the right figures in the toyshops).
I bought the black knight just 1x, and his armour is pretty bad quality. It is the same as from the exclusive "Helfen Sie"-St. Christopher II" knight (German exclusive): the armour is a bit brighter then usual, but it looks like cheap-china-made plastic

Hope she likes fairies, because that's a lot of them. But the white princess is the easiest to feel for because you can feel the big skirt in the bag.

I like the dog park your daughter set up. I was at the dog park yesterday with my dog, thinking I should do it in playmobil!

Ah, that looks like some bad luck, but you definitely have a lot of spare parts now. I would try to feel for the bigger or more unique ones if I were you, like bonniebeth said.

i buy there : they're fast and cheap  http://www.easyshoppingfun.de/  .

Yes the plastic of this knight is really bad , for me it mean playmobil stop to think quality and i will be very carrefull now ...   

Thanks for my daughter ! it was made in one hour ... i think it's the only park for kid where dogs are allowed in france ...

i won't keep all theses figures , my daughter take a kew , i take all the parts i don't have in my playmo puzzle and i will put the rest on ebay or somewhere else ; unhappilly the fairy are difficult to customise ...

i think i will find idea for the rest to try to earn fews euros and pay a part of the sending from germany .. (17E ...)

generally i wait the figure are avalable in france but my daughter really want this white princess ...   jeremy

That's really unfortunate that you weren't able to get one of those. Good luck getting one next time!

THANKS ! last time i will wait they comes in france and will touch the bags to know what is inside ... for the serie 3 it will be difficult to find english ...

This is why I personally despise the entire idea of these surprise figures!   I like to know exactly what I'm buying.  If I don't know, I don't buy it.

I too find it annoying having to try and feel the bags and I am still only dealing with series one. I think I will try the scale route

I don't really like the idea of "mystery" figures much either, though it probably does allow you to get the ones you want for the effort of feeling for them. Otherwise, I'd assume all the good ones would be taken first.
