Title: I have been to a flea market...

...and I found this blue Playmo carry-case with black inner trays, which is in very good condition without rips (not even on the window, which usually gets damaged first) and some nice contents for €10 alltogether:

That boat looks like Antex to me and the water well looks very nice, so I think it's a nice buy... 8-)

Wow! Very nice buy, Jean-Luc. 8-)
That is indeed quite a bargain. :yup:

The carry-case looks to be in excellent condition! :D

Are you sure the boat is Antex? I know the quality of plastic used in the really early sets was very different to what Playmobil use now. You must have quite a big collection of vintage Playmo by now, so I guess you'd be able to tell the difference. ;)

In the past I almost threw out some genuine old Playmobil pieces because I didn't think they were the real thing due to the difference in quality. :doh:

Hi Sylvia,

well, based on what I've heard about Antex it is a strong possibility; the colours which they used were sometimes quite different from the colours on the package, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Antex... ;)

Hello, Jean-Luc ...

I remember a yellow Playmobil rowboat (I have one at our summer home), but I can't remember which set it was from. I looked on Heather Patey's DB site, but couldn't find it.

I'll keep looking ...

All the best,
Richard

I think I may have one. I know I had at one time.

I've been browsing through the Collector and I noticed that set 3570 (a small pirate set) has a yellow boat, so I guess it's genuine Playmo after all... :)

I was thinking 3550, but you're right, 3750.

Hello, Jean-Luc and Gordon ...

Sometimes I am really stupid! ...  :-[

All I had to do was go to HERE (http://gardenwargaming.com/pirates/pirates1.html) and look on the Pirate's pages at Garden Wargaming! ... Duh ...  8}

Yes, the yellow rowboat was in set 3570!

All the best,
Richard

A really nice find.  Wish I had that sort of luck!

That is a nice lot, I have one of those cases with some damage to one of the corners with blue trays.

As for your Pirate set it one that I have and you can see what you need to complete it here.
