Presumably Playmobil as it is based on the internationally famous Victorian detective Sherlock Holmes who lived at 221B Baker Street in London (now the site of a branch of the Halifax bank).

Hold on, 211B Baker Street is not a Sherlock Holmes museum anymore?

Now, I never knew there was a museum at 221B Baker Street.  The only reference I have seen was in one of my books on Holmes and said that the Abbey National (NOT the Halifax, my mistake  :-[) had its head office at 221 Baker Street and employed someone to answer all the letters which were delivered there addressed to Sherlock Holmes.  Checking on Google, I see that the Abbey National HQ has been redeveloped as a block of luxury flats and that there is, indeed, a Sherlock Holmes museum at 221B.  Thanks for mentioning it Panos.   :wave:

Glad I was siting on Shelrock's chair back then in 2003, and not to an executive bankers lounge...

Collectors probably.

The specials didn't make an appearance in the UK catalogues until 1995 and this set was just simply called "Detective" by 1996 it was no longer available.

Is this the closest we ever got to a 'licence'?

(though the robin hood theme probably counts too).
