In the Netherlands we often have a discount promotion (“spaaractie”) in supermarkets for discount on things like pots and pans, cutlery and towels.
One thing I remember from my childhood was the Shell tank station Lego sets that my parents collected for us. My mom saved them and I recently build them with my son. It’s the one promotional I remember best.
I was thinking that it would be fun to have a playmobil supermarket collaboration where you can save for small supermarket related sets. In the Netherlands the Albert Heijn (AH) is one of the biggest chains and has a very recognizable colour and logo. (Perhaps Edeka in Germany).
I think it would be possible to create small sets to collect. They can use existing mounds. For example
1. klicky with shopping cart (blue cart for AH, but it could be a different colour for a different supermarket chain)
2. fruit and vegetables aisle with employee (female).
It could use the rack for crates from set 70134
3. cheese and meat department with employee (female)
It could use the display case from the butcher shop
4. Bread departement with employee (female)
It could use the display case from set 3202
5. Grocery aisle with stock clerk (male)
I’ve always thought the shelf unit with a sloped front would be great for a supermarket if it’s done in a light grey
The stocking clerk will have the supermarket outfit
If the different employees have a figures base, the same outfit with no skin tone visible on the body part it would be possible to give the klickies different skin tones for the heads and hands and you can make even more employees. That way it would be fun to buy a couple of the grocery aisle sets.
6. Freezer with 2 kids with ice cream.
With the supermarket logo instead of the penguins, just on top, the bottom can stay white so that you can put several next to each other.
7. Self scan (no cash) register (probably very specific for the Netherlands )
With klicky with grocery basket
8. cargo bike (in the Netherlands we transport our kids in this)
9. delivery truck (this one would be the biggest set)
Apart from the self scan (no cash) register I think everything could be made from using existing moulds.
Let me know what you think!
