My local toyshop (Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK) now has series 4 figures on sale at £1.99. They kindly let me order a box of each, which I collected today, so I will have some spares to offer for sale to other PF members soon (at cost). Watch this space!

(Clearly not a popular thread, but I don't mind talking to myself ;))
Having now opened all 96 packs, I was very pleased to find 4 of every figure except the king (I got 8 "mad scientists" instead :-\, at least it wasn't extras of that awful rapper guy). Quite a few extra bits too, mainly cuffs.
I have emailed DS in UK to request four packets of the missing king- lets see what they say!

I think that the lack of availability of this series might explain the silence around this thread ;D
-
I am interested but I am in the US and the additional shipping costs kind of are the joy kill.
I think though the store you bought it from should be the one saying "he kindly came in and ordered a box of each" ;)
Good luck with the king and I would be very curious to see the results
-
Our local toy shop got them about 2 weeks ago but I only bought 3 as I was looking for extras from some of the other series at the time and couldn't afford more.
However, they still have loads of each of the other 3 series left - I'm beginning to think that I am the person who buys them! :lol:

Bluming heck wasn't expecting we'd get them that quick, I think the Toysrus near us didn't get Series 3 in all that long ago so might still be a bit of a wait here :-\ ah well gives me time to save up ;D ;)
-
I just saw ToysRUs here (Canada) has the Series 3 male figures (and still some Series 2 male), but only the Series 2 female figures. 2 full boxes of the latter, by the way, so based on shelf space they won't be putting the Series 3 females out till they sell off at least a box of the Series 2 ones.

Does DS let you order mystery figures?

good question Ismene!
I have always thought that's not possible for any DS....am I mistaken?

Received the Wizard, Roman, mad scientist, blue alien and rapper in the mail yesterday.
Great looking series!

I put a regular face on my wizard as I'm not a big fan of those painted eyes.
The rapper will join my roster of characters in my agent universe.

Since about a week or so, Playmobil-Germany announced they will take (only German I assume) orders for "missing" series-figures, but it is aimed at people (mainly kids) who missed out on a specific figure and who want it to complete their collection.
They said stock of previous series is very limited and anyone asking for x,y,z-numbers of a specific figure will get a door slammed in the face.
Not sure if other DS-departments will also offer the (limited) service.

interesting development, thank for the news

That is interesting. I hope they bring that idea here. I generally don't collect multiples beyond 2 or 3 anyway.

I got a response! :)
DS uk sent me a king in a partly-opened bag :)
Now I am just 3 kings short! :(

I wonder if they had to identify it by feeling it or the code? I do not think they would opened up a whole bunch at random

The king's the most easy one to "feel" from the whole lot!
