« Last post by Tiermann on Today at 16:02:35 »The box sizes have noticeable changed in the last year or two. They are different shapes and have less air in most of them. Some will always be oversized because certain big pieces just won't fit in the smaller dimensions.

« Last post by Tiermann on Today at 16:00:23 »How’s the shipping fees to the USInternational shipping is really high. Playmobil.de doesn't ship international, you have to have it shipped to a German address and then get it reshipped. I do buy sets off of Amazon.de and have them shipped to me in the US which they will do for most Playmobil. For regular sets shipping is still high but the discounts compared to buying full price from Playmobil US make it just slightly more expensive than list price. Since some sets never make it here it's worth it to me for core interests like animal sets for Animobil.

« Last post by playmofire on Today at 14:59:00 »I too thought it was that but then it makes little sense
If a sets box is able to fit 2 in the same space as 1 then there is a major space savings
Lots of sets I bought can easily fit the contents into a box 1/2 the size
I think if you check box sizes you will find that there is a relationship to make the fullest use of space of available space when shipping.

True. But they treat non-german customers as several degrees of garbage.

Notes: Although PM has set 3951 ( "Sea Wreck with Plants and Diver )", I didn't think that small bit of shipwreck was quite up to snuff, drama-wise. Maybe PM could produce a proper sunken galleon, at some point, as it does offer a lot of play and diorama possibilities... There is, however, set 6481 ( "Shipwreck Cove Ship" ), which I did consider for modification, and might do next time... for, say, an underwater ship graveyard? Mmmm, with the whale carcass thrown in, that might make a proper homeland for ghost pirates. "Infestation, I tell you, infestation!"
